No, just looking at your numbers, it's easy to see that comments increased in last week: 28th week = 138247-30602 = 107645 comments 27th week = 136600-33135 = 103465 comments So comments increased by about

@xplosive suggests the comment increase could just be bots. I'm not sure I buy that, but would be interesting to find out. Can you produce a graph with known bot comments filtered out?

Looking at block explorer for @hivekorea @jupiter70 and @hivehbd it is easy to see that these are all hbd/hive arbitrage bots. @nomad may be too, but can't recall for sure now, I saw the others a while

The amount of inflation generated by HBD interest is very small compared to other sources of inflation in Hive. There's a couple of reasons for that: 1) HBD total supply is effectively limited to 10% of

Epsilon (AMD 5xxx series) is suspiciously missing from this list. My money is still on properly clocked Epsilon!

I don't view either vote bots or leased delegation to be inherently wrong. Both of these are ways to temporarily magnify voting power as opposed to buying the stake directly. It can be viewed as a "rent

@howo is working on direct RC delegations, I personally hope that will be sufficient.

Thanks!

No, it's not possible right now. I'll add it to the list of possible changes.

Since we expect most of the future traffic to be driven by apps, I'd really like to see how the number of "transactions per block" is changing with time (all transaction types).

Try changing your node to api.hive.blog. If you're using hive.blog, go to profile setting, click the triangle tab labeled Advanced.

Click on the network tab so I can see what api calls are being made when you try to login.

acid was one of the first people to notice it (I think he's more aware of curation rewards than most because he runs a curation service), and after an internal discussion about how to handle it, we figured

No, we stopped supporting Steem after they stole our funds.

Always good to know that someone is reading them and actually finding them useful to their work :-)

Is it still happening? If so, can you open up your console debugger (ctrl-shft-i on chrome) and make a screenshot of your browser window?
