RE: HF20.. How it fucked minnows and plankton and will fuck us all eventually!
Hello bigdeej, you're right, it's totally fucked when you have so little resource power. I've been able to play with rewards three times at Steemgar until yesterday, because that's where a comment is needed and if you want to comment on someone, it will not work anymore either. It's almost the same as in real life, the little one has to shut up. :D
Sad isn't it. That comment used to cost bandwidth not RC.. This wasn't a big deal since voting had nothing to do with your bandwidth. You could basically comment and post as much as you want and your "tax" was on your voting, you got 20% per day to use at most if you wanted it to restore the following day. NOW RC is a tax on ALL transactions. So the little guy with a tiny bit of RC has to decide between EARNING through voting and posting/commenting... HOW can that help steem and be good for plankton and minnows?? It is directly hurting them the most, the new members who just want to try out the system. They then get fed up and leave which is what we already have been seeing the last 2 years on steem.. It was hard enough under the old system to get new members to stick around and actually pay to power up. Now it is nearly impossible. It has driven whales and dolphins to begin powering down and de-risk themselves from more upgrades like this in the future which means even LESS power on the platform as a whole.. This is NOT how you grow this is how you self destruct...
