RE: What the hell just happened?
A Brief Timeline
- September 25th 15:00 UTC HF20 happens and it's technically a success.
- The RC system is applied retroactively and if you have been active relative to your SP, you are in RC debt.
- In few hours comes version 0.20.3 which gets rid of the "debt"
- About 11.5 hours later 0.20.3 has super majority in Top 20 (and some witness ranks changed too)
- Then it turns out that nodes has to be running 0.20.3 which takes even more time to upgrade.
- Finally about 25 hours later on September 26th 16:00 UTC things get normal and functional for everyone (except for RC Equilibration and Voting Power)
Regarding the current state of RC costs I wrote a post: https://steemit.com/steem/@vimukthi/this-is-how-your-resource-credits-are-affected-when-using-steem-based-on-8-hours-of-performance-tracking-on-my-account
My rough calculation is that a heavy user (who isn't a bot) should do well with 1500SP.

Ethereum had 1/3 of its funds stolen and had a Hard Fork and now there are 2 chains. If STEEM gets to the same marketcap we are looking at $100 STEEM. Patience is key and as far as I'm concerned, nothing much happened. except for some loss of VP and some loss of @steemhunt upvotes on my Hunts and a little bit of temporary frustrations and a decent amount of countering FUD and (hopefully) convincing people to not leave STEEM because they can't vote properly for 3-4 days.
Assassination Classroom + Little Bit of Discord
I hung around Discord and talked to people and kept track on @steemitblog and witnesses and watched anime (because I have a life - if you can call it that)
(It's about this guy who blow up 70% of the moon and demand the world leaders to let me teach at a Japanese school)
