Ahoy there, @anthonyadavisii!

We have been waiting for this update for some time. I know it took a while for you to bring this online as you had to juggle between work, family, and Steem.

There are some critiques about how the distribution of tokens should work. For one, it has to be sustainable, and I see you have addressed that via limited daily pool of tokens. For another, a fine balance between delegators and downvoters. The delegations make the project possible, and the downvotes are the driving force.

The upvote function works for the most part. I do see some occasional complaints from users where the bot did not respond.

As for HF21 changes, good luck on figuring out the math and incentives. It won't be an easy task. Even current bot owners would have to figure out how to sell their votes with a different curve. We may all have to move to a rshares model.

As for dealing with abusers with large stake, it is an age-old discussion. People need to realize that you need to counter stake for stake. Without more resources, you cannot hope to disincentivize undesirable behavior.

The power of stake is that it is a renewable resource. Unlike the use of bid bots, it is impossible to cut ROI without zeroing the rewards. Unfortunately, many in the community do not seem to grasp that idea.

Anyhow, thank you for your work and time in the #antiabuse community. The landscape would be very different without your contributions.
