Goodbye HF21. You will be missed. I wonder if this will be the shortest lived hardfork in Steem's history...
One thing that's nice about having another team put together a hardfork and have it not go perfectly might be a reality check. Blockchain is hard. It would be great if we could do this a little better, but it's hard. Tiny technical details on a million edge cases can stop the chain. Best intentions and lots of review can't catch them all. It happened to Steemit. It happened to blocktrades. Most don't think blocktrades folks are idiots. Maybe we can cut steemit a little slack. Blockchain pimpin' ain't easy.
In a few days hopefully this whole thing will be forgotten. I'm still very hopeful for what's to come. Getting content discovery, a new trending, better behaved bidbots, and a proposal system is a nice fork.
Anyway, I'm building HF22 now. Hopefully it doesn't force a replay on me. I got my hot dice and lucky charms out (metal, not the cereal). Wish me luck.
newnewsteem starts in 13-14 hours assuming the other witnesses get the memo. We just did a hardfork and had a fairly smooth transition with the exchanges. Hopefully this goes ok too.
Got 22 up and running. No replay required. 3 down, 14 more witnesses to go...
