RE: We may have just fixed a critical bug in Steem.
Very cool @picokernel, but how could a latent bug like this have not been obvious based on performance metrics analysis, just curious?

Unfortunately, this bug was introduced during a mining algo change. We all assumed that the hash rate dropped because of the fact that we changed the algo. It's just one of those things we all overlooked. Including me, I feel bad. I spent a lot of time looking at the algo and trying to figure out what the hack was. Oh well!
Gotcha @picokernel, well the good news is you guys fixed it and it's now in the rearview mirror, good job!!!
