The 4 week powerdown should help!
After my 13 weeks (starting when Sun bought Steemit) of powering down to 0, I ended up having 400 new SP. With the new rules, that's 100 SP per week for 4 weeks. Already done the first.
I see no reason to hold any funds on that chain. Every signal is flashing "danger" to me. Things weren't even that great BEFORE the Sun bullshit!
