I was making the voting rounds just now when I ran into a strange issue. I've noticed since HF 19 that sometimes posts would disappear and reappear after refreshing Home a few minutes apart. Perhaps more worrisome, though, I've also noticed that posts I was sure I've upvoted have lost my little blue up arrow
I thought maybe I was just going crazy. Or maybe my upvote never connected to the server. This is reasonable, since the website and blockchain are getting slammed with activity after HF 19.
Over the past half hour, I came across a post I thought was a good one:
So naturally, I upvoted it:
Not more than half an hour later, I was browsing new posts again, and lo-and-behold the post I remember liking so much showed no signs of being upvoted by me. My natural reaction was to rectify the situation by upvoting it correctly this time:
Finally, I refreshed the page again and was satisfied the white up arrow had turned blue.
Rather than go through the trouble of manually parsing the blockchain, I used steemd.com for convenience to lay out my recent vote history. What did I find? No other than the proof shown above, that two separate transactions contain my votes for the post listed above. Here is the transaction history laid out reverse-chronologically:
So there you have it; a post I was able to upvote twice! And with differing weights no less!
What could have happened here? Is steemd.com perhaps wrong? Was my first vote invalidated?
I'm hoping a dev or someone with more knowledge of the Steem inner-workings is able to answer these questions.
