I actually don’t hold an attitude where I’m not not willing to work towards a solution, but I do hold an attitude where I won’t work to undermine a whole community to get what I want or be seen as the hero. I understand how that can be confusing to those who don’t hold that same position. 

Many are working to save the Steem community, only a few are so desperate that they will actual make back door deals to ensure they “win” somehow.

There are members of the community who see value, even now, in discussing an out without a chain split.  Really though, the chances seem so very slim, even from the ‘outside’, where so many of us feel we are.

I don't think yous are going to win a legal battle with Justin Sun. Yous forked his millions in investment first ...... sure there's likely some consequences that can be held to Justin Sun and/or the exchanges but that doesn't absolved yous of messing with millions of dollars worth of STEEM he purchased with his own funds. 

I see allot of finger pointing going on but not much acceptance from the witnesses that they should have never forked Justin Sun stake. There's more people to blame here other then Justin Sun. ... Some accountabilty needs to be taken in by everyone on all sides of this mess.

There's too much against yous in regards to the mined stake. 

(1) Yous left it in play for years without forking
(2) Others have mined stake that wasn't softforked
(3) The disclaimer in the Steemit Wallet
(4) No legal document in place to prove the Steemit Inc. stake isn't private
(5) The ninja mined stake owned by others that aren't Steemit INC. has been used and is continued to be used to vote in "real" witnesses. 

Not too mention the timing of the fork. Justin Sun stake was forked just days after the AMA / shortly after the official announcement he purchased Steemit INC. and stake. I'm not sure you realize how bad all this looks and not in the favor of the witnesses. How anyone thought it was a good idea to soft fork a millionairs funds days after he announced his acquisition is beyond me. He not only has the funds to fight back but also much more resources. Justin Sun could easily crush the Steem coins value if he wanted.

> I understand how it can look confusing to people who don't hold that attitude, or potentially want something different than saving Steem.

Below are some helpful writing tips for future correspondence and business dealings. I can understand if you don't use them, because you might potentially want to remain a hypocrite.

I was in direct contact with Binance on behalf of the group of consensus witnesses. An old contact from last year that popped up in the current situation. It was a telegram group with myself, this person from binance and one other who I won’t mention as they have stated they are under a NDA. 

Randomly a document was dropped on behalf of the witnesses, one I had not seen. I asked where it came from and was told it was sent from Aggroed. 

I went to the chat with the witnesses to ensure this had consensus as I had not seen it, it was discovered some had not seen it and those that had had not agreed for it to be shared or sent to Binance. 

When asked Aggroed stated he had no idea and stated Roy must of “cherry picked” the document and leaked it.. I explained how that was not true as I was told where it came from. He would not answer any further questions from the group. 

The google doc showed history and suggestions made from Roy, of what needed to be added or removed.. written on behalf of the witnesses to “make an agreement” with the exchange. This document also showed history of Justin reviewing it as well. 

The agreement itself was not bad, power down, don’t vote (which was already being worked through with Binance and therefore there was no need for this document) as well as asking for donation to the SPS if I remember correctly and then a bunch of promises of what the witnesses would and would not do. 

Quite frankly I wasn’t sure this needed to go public, but this BS game and playing victim to the community is getting old. There is a reason he is losing witness support, and it’s not because he’s just a nice guy trying to save his home.. his ego makes him think he is the only one able to do anything so he makes back door deals that undermine the effort and end up hurting the community, just like he did with the foundation. 

I’m done letting his manipulative ways go unquestioned.

This just exemplifies the standard of these socks.  Perhaps it’s on purpose, or maybe I’m being too kind.

First of all those Tokens sold in a public auction would become regular Steem Tokens with all Voting rights etc... and this would also solve the problem with Ninja Stake in Steem, because now this Stake can be bought by many investors.
There is also the SMT and Community project that brings more features to the Steem Economy. And overall the community has shown a lot of strength and Steem is in the Media, if Justin would act wise he would use the attention to turn the situation around.
