HF21: Release Tagged!
The Steemit blockchain team has officially released version 0.21.0 of Steem also known as Hardfork 21 which contains code for adding a Worker Proposal System to Steem (called the Steem Proposal System or Steem.DAO) and the Economic Improvement Proposal to Steem.
Exchanges
As this is a planned hardfork of the Steem blockchain, exchanges that are operating Steem exchange nodes should upgrade as soon as possible so that there is no interruption of services when the hardfork is expected to occur on the 27th of August, 2019. Note that this is contingent on supermajority adoption by the Steem witnesses of the suggested upgrade, as is always the case with hardforks.

Curse words, name calling, two facts riddled with typos, one bullshit statement, and a threat about quitting.
Defensive reply from representative of Steemit, Inc.
Pulls the victim card.
Claims that SMTs and Communities will solve all your problems including gout
3000 word response that's impossible to respond to and @ned gets tagged for no reason.
Token reply from a non-techie Steemian that will be ignored because I didn't use enough crypto jargon
Shorter math response although logically well riddled!!
And yeah, ¿Why not? let's tag @ned with no reason too. };)

I love this whole thread but now I have to DDOS Steemit just to fit in.

I'm just here for the gout cure guys.
No, best treatment for gout is a topical application of kief mixed with olive oil!
Oh this is not the Weed.Cash feed? Sorry, got a little confused as to where I am... I think I will throw a little shade at this comment.

Hey, no fair using your typical response gif. Not meta enough!
OMG does this mean I get one free charge out of this HF21? YUP! Can't wait to unload on u'r ass as soon as the HF is through! Are we really going to get 5 free flags on top of everything? Wow I love Steemit now!

Let it be a countdown not only to a new hardfork, but to a new culture on Steem.
Curating whatever you perceive as the most valuable content and contributions to Steem will now certainly be more rewarding than before, so do it! We have this chance to incentivize and reward the behaviors and cultivate the environment that each of us have always wished that other social media(s) were, so just do it!
Honestly, I have no idea to what extent this fork will significantly improve the fundamental issues Steem has had over the past 2 years, but I do know that it is an opportunity for us to set a new standard for what Steem should be. This time without any excuse not to use our free downvotes to steer the ship in the right direction.
Let's go :)
Are you telling me that if I power up my steem, I can flag for free? Even if only once, that could be fun.
But are there any new users coming? The recent stats don't look good
I haven't seen a single significant effort considering how we will attract new users. Why they will come and what they will do here.
I am concerned (not mad or panicked) at that disconnect. Every stat I can think of to look at shows a shrinking user base and economy.
Anyone who has worked near a marketing team also knows there is usually a significant delay from planning and releasing a call to new users and results.
I have been spamming every single @steemitblog post for months that they need to advertise the blockchain to the real world and I have yet to get a legit reply to extreme necessity...
i feel like in the next strong bull market people will flood here but I agree there needs to be more onboardings
Flag the old users first ;)
I'll flag YOU @tarazkp!!!!!!! Let the flag wars begin everyone!!! 😈
Just kidding. Please lets keep it civil.
More users are likely to come and stay if the site and platform looks more attractive. This can be achieved by ensuring a better correlation between quality content and valuable contributions and rewards. If we can cultivate the type of environment we all would like to see more of on the web, surely there'll be others out there who share that view?
In any case, all the work is still ahead of us as a community to turn around and understand that the platform is what we make it to be.
Nice positive outlook.
Dear @fredrikaa
I'm seriously wondering how will HF21 impact our behaviours on Steemit and steem blockchain.
Definetly users will have more reasons to hold on to their SP, so selling pressure should slow down.

I am glad that you like it!
So this is just to tell us that after one month plus in the hands of the witnesses, that you are going to announce to all the businesses an implementation date that you have no real clues as to if it will happen or not, because the Supermajority has not spoken yet.
Instead of speculation, (on the witness acceptance), and a small attempt at coercion of the non-complying witnesses toward the super majority, it would have been much more useful to let us know where the witnesses stand on the issues, what their concerns are, and that this is why it is taking so long to determine if they are going to accept or deny the Hard Fork 21.
Contingent on supermajority--tells us, the users absolutely nothing. Announcing a date, basically giving the witnesses a Deadline smacks of coercion. I hope the witnesses, delay the HF21 well beyond your announced date. (There are several parts of HF21, that I think are bad), and that is why I hope they delay it, so they can properly do their due diligence and to not bow to pressures from any group, side, or organization.
Witnessess and other developers are still doing lots of work on the TestNet to make sure everything will run smoothly. Having a deadline is very helpful to motivate specially those doing the testing. As far as is known there is more than enough for super majority among the top 20 witnesses. But if those witnesses decide there are errors they are finding in the testnet that need to be resolved prior to approving and upgrading to the new software then that would delay it ... yes. (as it should)
Finally, a real word on how the testing is going. People, (well at least myself), just wanted to know that testing was indeed taking place, that things are running as planned.
The imposition of a deadline though should not be needed. I know at some point someone will have to stand up and say "O-kay, we have had this in test mode now for six weeks. What are the current issues we are having, where do we need to focus our testing? What has been tested to satisfactory conditions?"
While none of that may be know by the users, (me), at least you did let us know:
For that you have my thanks.
The last month was also a testing phase for us (as well as the witnesses and other developers). As a result, we can ensure a smoother hardfork as a few bugs were actually identified and solved.
Hard fork dates must be announced with enough time for businesses (especially exchanges) to be able to perform the upgrade. IF for some reason the majority of witnesses don't vote in this hardfork, it would not effect businesses that have upgraded - everything will keep on functioning as normal with the current hardfork version, even with the upgraded software.
Understood, and thanks for the clarification on the purpose of the announcement.
Testing is great and important. Have there been any parallel-feed tests this time to see how the code handles real account sizes, trafic, etc? But more importantly, are there any kill switches for the part of the HF that some people predict might reap havoc on the platform or even drive a mass exodus?
There are at least seven different ways how HF21 could backfire, and it would be nice knowing you guys have kill switches and contingency plans in place on what to act if any of these scenarios end up playing out.

Für ze Returd
Witness votes and therefore the elected witnesses can always change. There is no way to know for sure whether a hardfork is approved except to wait for the date and see what happens.
That said, all of the existing top 20 witnesses are in favor of it, as far as I know.
Thank you. I do understand that the top 20 witnesses can change at any time, even during a test period of a hard fork. HF21 has a lot of important items in it, it is nice to know that the testing is running smooth, that there have been few if any major problems with it.
After 6 weeks of it being released for testing, it is nice to see some actual update on the progress from you and and a few other witnesses. I realize a few people think I am as Baah thinks, however name calling is not what this is about, if "Drama" needs to be created in order to Learn that everything is going as planned then drama it will be in the eyes of some, and retarded questions in the eyes of others.
Thank you for the update, and it is good to hear that the current top 20 are not having any serious issues with any aspect of HF21.
You've got DRAMA. You are going to be a Whale!

DRAMAgo to steem-engine.com.I'm a big fan of the hardfork. I think the SPS will allow us to fund things that aren't priorities for Steemit, but that the community really wants.
I believe that the EIP is a good system, we've already implemented those components into PALnet and it's going well.
Pending testing and community feedback I'm planning adopting this voluntarily and would encourage other consensus witnesses to do the same.
Can you summarize what you have seen over the course of using the EIP components on PALnet (or link somewhere if you have already done so). I think that would be useful information in evaluating this hardfork.
I note that on PALnet there are no mined stakes that enable capture of rewards, unlike Steem. This is a pretty fundamental difference, and I expect that EIP will exaggerate that difference. It will be interesting to observe the results.
I have completely opposite expectations than do you, for reasons I have repeated ad nauseum, and will forego here.
In the event HF21 is catastrophic, I hope to hear from you regarding how market cap has declined, users continue to hemorrhage, and Steem price fallen further. Also, in such event, how do you think PALnet would be impacted?
💪🏼🙌🏼💯

Lets hope that you are right, but the question is if it works because you implemented parts of the EIP into PALnet or because there is a better token distribution ...
I really do not think this will be favorable to low stake holders. Remember my words.
Think this HF will drive most red fish and minnows, and most of the smaller dolphins to move their stake to a scot tribe. There your smaller stake is still worth something at the moment. Oh, and if enough of us move to Scot tribes, SMTs will truly end up being too little too late, so Steemit Inc, quit working on SMT and start working on opening up the STEEM economy with important features that could bring in top content creators. Maybe start with a blockchain level solution for supportind add revenue sharing on STEEM. Now that's something that would improve the ecconomy.
It will be what it will be... and we will see it soon!

Why?
Great Job
It's going to be interesting to see how this is received and if the witnesses go with it. There is no perfect system, but we need change in some form. Reducing the influence of paid votes is a priority. We need more real curation.
The only way to know if it's a good idea or not is for people to give it a wholehearted go and do their best with it. Maybe we should start an "undelegate to bidbots competition" to encourage people to start manually curating again :P
Yes @steevc ...
... agreed. Now, we'll all find out soon enough if that is what the HF21 changes produce ...
I don’t know if it’s just me but I enjoy being a part of all the chaos and mayhem! Lol imagine using the site and everything just goes smoothly every time!
There would be so much less content on the site since half of it is either complaining about steemit, explaining how things work, or how things could work, is going to work, or low works lol

Others have said that posts about Steem get the most attention. I try to make most of my posts about other things, but there is plenty to discuss about the platform. We need to get it into a state where more people want to use it.
That's it.
