Why was @scorum-unchained started?

We have experience from Steem where we run one of the top100 witnesses. We see Scorum growing big. With this growth, there will be a need for decent hardware, as you can see we have some really good specifications. The main focus is to secure the network and with the experience gained on Steem and with this specs, we definitely think we can do it. We are already prepared for v0.2.0.

Our second focus will foster the building of communities of real sports enthusiasts. With the second focus comes also the third. We will be actively flagging spammers and deceivers. This is the only way a healthy growth for Scorum can be achieved.

If we hit the top25 witnesses mark we will be hosting a weekly tournament worth 20SCR on the BRO Network. We love those guys and what they do and we are pretty sure they are a very good addition to the Scorum platform. Vote also for the BRO Network witness @bro-delegate
