Due to the massive amount of steem power (971,000) we need to raise the minimum bid from 0.500 SBD to 1 SBD. Smaller bids are starting to get lost inside of the $90+ upvote.
I tried to hold off on doing this, to allow all side Steemians to use the service, but 0.500 SBD is too small of a bid for how much steem power we have. We are considering growing another 1 million steem power, and that may require another adjustment to the minimum bid.
I am updating the profile to reflect the new change and current window will go through with existing bids, by tomorrow morning it will be a hard lock at 1 SBD. Anything lower than our minimum bid will be considered a donation.
Sorry if this makes the service unaffordable to anyone, we just have too much steem power now to keep it this low. I held off doing this as long as I could.
Thank you for your understanding.
