I probably should have done this sooner, but today I thought I would make a post so that we can later look to see how things have changed. source Look at this, our first whale not maximizing his rake.

So it it just me, or is it harder to hold a higher mana level now? I've had to lower my votes to stay above 80%. I never had to do that before. Before the fork I often gave 100% votes, but now that crushes

D'oh,... It looks like we have a retraction in the math. source This is why I like to give a few days to the napkin math I usually do, so far I don't see much change. Are you are tired of paying your masters

D'oh, looks like my little friend is back. Still hasn't spoken to me, just leaves little presents of appreciation. Well, ya know, brussel sprouts isn't a flavor everybody appreciates, I guess. Are you

Oh, look, dear reader, the crowd has come together. In case you missed it, valueplan is back on the prowl for approval. Now is the time to voice your dis/approval, if you are of a mind to do that. source

Well, dear reader, I love it when a plan takes a large step forward. I've been waiting for this innovation since shortly after I got here. This app gives a curator much information about the accounts they

Oh how the mighty have fallen. source Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places? Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that. A simple way that anybody can do that is

They said to me, 'Anti, why do you care about what people do with their money? So, I asked them why do you care about abusive posts? IF we are gonna drive people away for low effort posts, shouldn't we

The original design of hive had reward curves not accounting for the ninjamine. The ninjamine blew out all balance to the game as designed. We can recover from that, but we need the ninjaminers, and those

Every community has to define traditions and customs. If they don't there is nothing to distinguish themselves as a community. So, as a community, we need to establish traditions. Over the few days I took

I sure picked a great time to take a few days off. I've been kicking the hivizens to stop voting rewards to dumpers for literal years. Finally, folks are noticing that I've been right about not supporting

Are you interested in seeing hive succeed in the short term? Would you like to see hive's ranking climb back up to the single digits where it should be? Do you vote accounts that dump their rewards as

This first list is the all time curation rewards top 20. Mostly well known names here. source Funny how vote selling accounts are up near the top of all time curation rewards. I thought they were 'helping
