I took a huge part of the week off, too. Though more like when I'm travelling. I checked in a couple times a day and was kinda sort of around.

It looks like they got the patches right now, and everything works just fine. In fact, it feels just exactly the same after all the wailing and gnashing of teeth :)

I believe for the next HF I'll just schedule some time away and let the pot stir without me being around to watch it.

I think Steemit is going to be just fine. I think a whole bunch of pretty serious people (witnesses) learned some valuable lessons. Those that care about the place will pick up their game and those that are just collecting the steem will probably fall away.

I do think we'll see an increase in users and active folks because of some of the tweaks in HF20. I also hope that by adding the resource credits that some of the low budget bot traffic will go down or away.

Any, your rainbows are obviously a sign that the world is right and life goes on.
