yep

It's the same algorithm, so no change, except it's being done in hivemind instead of hived (which is so far a bit more challenging to code in a performant way).

Yes, notifications work right now, but they were broken by required changes in new Eclipse code, so we're fixing them again (and improving efficiency of that code in the process).

Yes, 22nd isn't an exact date, for two reasons: 1) it depends on us getting a version of hivemind ready for apps testing in the next few days and 2) witness don't have to upgrade right away, in which case

Just a minor clarification: Sept 22nd is still an aspirational date more than a solid deadline. We set it as soon as we think it's possible to hardfork, as we don't want to delay the hardfork any more

I think that's mainly why most people use expletives: for emphasis or to quickly express their opinion about a topic or person. Which is fine, when you know it won't offend your audience. We also use them

Oh, you should also include their transfers to gsr.io

I think he's referring to the alpha transactions. Pretty much all of them were sales of Steem for bitcoin/eth, except for the payment for the steem proposal system. You can see a lot of them here:

I agree that there should be ways to approve of a post beyond voting post rewards to it. There's many ways to do this, and I plan on focusing on options for that after the hardfork.

I completely agree on this point. The focus only on fatality rates versus other impacts of COVID-19 is a huge mistake. And to see just how clearly it is ignored, note that this was the only point of your

I think there's an active issue for this. A couple of the condenser devs (not BT devs) have been discussing how to fix this and related problems. Also, to spread awareness, here's where to look for and

You requested comments from your readers, so, FWIW, I eventually read pretty much everything posted in this community, but not always in a timely manner, as I suppose is obvious.

Pretty sure that's a condenser bug.

I don't think anyone is arguing that wearing a mask and distancing can help prevent the spread. As surprising as it may sound, there are actually people arguing those very points. I know, it's really hard

This hardfork has required us to create an entire test suite for Hive that just didn't exist before. We also had to create the associated CI system (automated build and test system). Having that work done,

Ideally, we don't expect any real stabilization period being required. The only potential issue I can think of is chainid change, but we haven't seen any issues associated with that during testnet testing.

I considered it, but that's a US holiday.

Openhive.chat is probably a good option. I'll discuss with @gtg and see if we can get all the witnesses there at least. I haven't checked recently, but I would guess that most info on developers.hive.io

Ah, I see. Yes, it would be quite trivial for the front end UIs to also show vote counts as well as vote stakes. The only downside I can see to that is that it would of course be subject to sybil voting,

I don't have time to reply to much of what you've said, but when I skim read it, I found I disagreed with most points which I had time to read. The rather obvious cause of the "failure" of the
