RE: HF 20 - lessons finally learned?
Can't you fork the chain in anticipation of the real fork using some experimental nodes and seeing what occurs if you do a full replay with the new HF rules? In that case, wouldn't the negative RC's issue have been fully evident?
I guess it wouldn't be that great because there would be very few transactions occurring since there would only be a few users on it (whoever was testing) but still seems like it could've at least identified what would occur immediately upon forking. Surely it wasn't intentional to have everyone's voting mana drop to 20%? @steemitblog implied this might have been intentional because everyone's power was "scaled," but I can't wrap my head around why that would be the best way to do it.
Not really, it's just most fancy public testnet (eg. @almost-digital's testnet was introduced over a year ago)
Gotcha.
By the way, any speculation on what will happen with posting rewards during the time everyone's VP (or VM) tanked? I was thinking the numbers shown on post payout for things created during this time would increase drastically at the time of actual payout. Shouldn't the rewards pool be the same size as always, thus, everyone's vote ---> 20% meaning the current numbers shown are much smaller than they should be?
I’ve been thinking we may see some upward adjustments start to happen as the week goes on. I think what’s depressing the current payouts right now is that some posts from before the HF are still in the calculation mix. As more of these close out, I’d expect the new posts to climb. That’s why I haven’t stopped voting, just cut my usual percentages in half so I should fully recharge in about 10 days.
Yeah, that makes total sense to me.
Me too.
