HF21: Release Tagged!

HF21 tagged release.jpg

The Steemit blockchain team has officially released version 0.21.0 of Steem also known as Hardfork 21 which contains code for adding a Worker Proposal System to Steem (called the Steem Proposal System or Steem.DAO) and the Economic Improvement Proposal to Steem.

Exchanges

As this is a planned hardfork of the Steem blockchain, exchanges that are operating Steem exchange nodes should upgrade as soon as possible so that there is no interruption of services when the hardfork is expected to occur on the 27th of August, 2019. Note that this is contingent on supermajority adoption by the Steem witnesses of the suggested upgrade, as is always the case with hardforks.

I honestly do not know how I'd feel about the new hardfork, I still have trauma from the last one but I'm still here and Steem still entertains me. I am an optimistic person and at this point I see this as positive, for me it means Steemit Inc still cares about Steemit that they try. I hope they never stop trying and address every little thing that those whiners, complainers and all sorts of ingrates are crying about. Cheers!

Any contingency plans yet? If not, STEEM has been fun while it lasted. And an other question: has the dust level threshold been fixed to fit the new reality? I think the biggest problem with HF21 isn't with any of the "features", it is with the way the sum of the features interacts with the dust level threshold. Basically after HF21 there is no sense left up voting comments on your posts unless you are a top-range dolphin or an orca. Single upvotes from anyone up to a small dolphin won't make dust level after HF21, and that is a huge social interaction killer.

There is a simple fix:

Move dust level from 0.02 to 0.005 or less!

What is the "Curation Reverse Auction Window"? I'm still unsure about how curation rewards work on here.

You just want to vote before everyone else?

Anyone have any updates on the community features for Steem? I might make a proposal for a coding project but it is dependent on knowing more about community features.

We have a clear date now, just prepare, whatever status you are in. Any perceived improvements to the steem blockchain, can always be exciting, let get it on.

Como miembro activo de la comunidad hispana en Steemit, me alegra que se estén tomando medidas para el mejoramiento de esta plataforma, pero coincido con muchos, diciendo que este cambio no puede ni debe ser solo de imagen o de sistema, sino mas bien debe ser un cambio de cultura, de manera de pensar de quienes aquí vivimos y trabajamos diariamente por traer un buen contenido al mundo de las blockchain.
As an active member of the Hispanic community in Steemit, I am glad that measures are being taken to improve this platform, but I agree with many, saying that this change can not and should not be just image or system, but rather must be a change of culture, a way of thinking of those of us who live and work here daily to bring good content to the world of blockchain.
@sepracore(64)· 2585d
I see from the notes that a full replay will be required. How many days will that take for people? Is it different with MIRA (@themarkymark 😁😁)? I assume witnesses and exchanges need to add that extra time in? For instance if it takes 5 days for a full replay, do they have to start it before August 22nd?
@silvertop(76)· 2585d
Can you clarify the "We are adding a one comment edit per block lockout to accounts."

Will this lockout apply to original post as well??

In the exchange section it says:

Note that this is contingent on supermajority adoption by the Steem witnesses of the suggested upgrade, as is always the case with hardforks

Exchanges (assuming they are not also witnesses) should probably go ahead and upgrade to 0.21.0 regardless. If the hardfork is not approved then the upgraded code will continue to work with the existing consensus rules, and there should be no interruption of service either way.

The only way to know for sure if the hardfork will be approved would be to wait until the last minute and that isn't a good idea.

That said, some exchanges may explicitly want to disable their wallet during any hard fork just in case of problems. In that case it would be okay to wait and see.

@aggroed(80)· 2586d
I'm a big fan of the hardfork. I think the SPS will allow us to fund things that aren't priorities for Steemit, but that the community really wants.

I believe that the EIP is a good system, we've already implemented those components into PALnet and it's going well.

Pending testing and community feedback I'm planning adopting this voluntarily and would encourage other consensus witnesses to do the same.
@pouchon(78)· 2586d
It will be a Tuesday. It will be the 35th Tuesday of the year. It will be in August. It will be 2019. It will be better. It will be a witness day. It will be a day to watch baseball. It will be a day of radio if you are in Argentina. It will be a day for steemit. It will be a day for a change.
@markkujantunen(77)· 2586d
It’s much better to attempt at improving the system now. Steem is still so small.

Hmmm.

"... the hardfork is expected to occur on the 27th of August, 2019."

Is this a typo? Or are we being informed of this 2 days later?

Hopefully it is clear to our all-important Witnesses ...

27th of August, 2019. Note that this is contingent on supermajority adoption by the Steem witnesses of the suggested upgrade, as is always the case with hardforks.

So this is just to tell us that after one month plus in the hands of the witnesses, that you are going to announce to all the businesses an implementation date that you have no real clues as to if it will happen or not, because the Supermajority has not spoken yet.

Instead of speculation, (on the witness acceptance), and a small attempt at coercion of the non-complying witnesses toward the super majority, it would have been much more useful to let us know where the witnesses stand on the issues, what their concerns are, and that this is why it is taking so long to determine if they are going to accept or deny the Hard Fork 21.

Contingent on supermajority--tells us, the users absolutely nothing. Announcing a date, basically giving the witnesses a Deadline smacks of coercion. I hope the witnesses, delay the HF21 well beyond your announced date. (There are several parts of HF21, that I think are bad), and that is why I hope they delay it, so they can properly do their due diligence and to not bow to pressures from any group, side, or organization.
@fredrikaa(74)· 2586d
Let it be a countdown not only to a new hardfork, but to a new culture on Steem.

Curating whatever you perceive as the most valuable content and contributions to Steem will now certainly be more rewarding than before, so do it! We have this chance to incentivize and reward the behaviors and cultivate the environment that each of us have always wished that other social media(s) were, so just do it!

Honestly, I have no idea to what extent this fork will significantly improve the fundamental issues Steem has had over the past 2 years, but I do know that it is an opportunity for us to set a new standard for what Steem should be. This time without any excuse not to use our free downvotes to steer the ship in the right direction.

Let's go :)
@donkeypong(76)· 2586d
This one isn't a keeper. Tag and release? It's better off dead.
@steevc(80)· 2586d
It's going to be interesting to see how this is received and if the witnesses go with it. There is no perfect system, but we need change in some form. Reducing the influence of paid votes is a priority. We need more real curation.
@vlemon(78)· 2586d
To the moon 🌚! I think this could increase tremendously the value of STEEM and bring more investors and interests to the platform. Blog post on that topic incoming soon. Let’s see 😉
