Binance is forced to "technically" support last week's hard fork of the Steem blockchain, according to the exchange's CEO, Changpeng Zhao.
Bittrex says it will return all confiscated steem tokens that got "rescued" soon after yesterday's hard fork.
The Steem hard fork nabbed the tokens of dissenting community members. Soon after, the tokens were said to have been diverted.
Witnesses on Steem have frozen eight accounts, putting a total of 17.6 million steem in limbo. It's the latest drama since March 20's Hive hard fork.
It's been a week since the Hive blockchain broke off from Steem in protest. So far, the market action has been on the side of the dissidents.
The Hive hard fork is expected to go live at 14:00 UTC with the support of major exchanges Huobi and Binance.
The blockchain for bloggers, Steem, is moving to Hive.io, CoinDesk has learned. The hostile hard fork is scheduled for Friday.
The Steem community is striking back after an attempted end-around by Tron founder Justin Sun.
The implications reach much further than just Steem or Tron, underlining the fundamental message of the "not your keys, not your crypto" mantra.
The people who run the Steem blockchain executed a reversible soft fork Sunday over concerns about Steemit's new owner.
It used to be that downtime was unheard of on blockchain networks. As new protocols and new trade-offs emerge, that's no longer the case.
While steemit has become the third-largest digital currency by market cap, some market observers have expressed doubts about its sustainability.
