Just noticed that the new RC's have been reset for me to 100%. Woohoo, can get back in business now. Glad that this patch to 20.4 has taken effect and we can get back to STEEMing on.

edit - posting this post used just 0.6% of my RC's - So I think we are all good!!!!

Will be interesting to see when or if functionality is available to sell RC's. Might be another little way to add a bit of value, especially for people that don't perform a lot of transactions.

Been a few good posts lately that have helped me understand why this has been done, and the long term benefits of HF20. Here are some of my favourites.

• https://steemit.com/steem/@aggroed/hf20-has-incredible-potential-the-roll-out-has-been-less-than-awesome - my favourite post HF20 post and this made more sence to me than so many other posts I had read. @aggroed spoke my language I guess.

• https://steemit.com/philosophy/@tarazkp/the-instant-gratification-debt-cycle-of-relationships-paid-off-in-steem - @tarazkp with his own unique style and take on community here on STEEM and comparisons to modern instant gratification needs.

• https://steemit.com/life/@meesterboom/in-the-shadow-of-the-hardfork-2-2 - @meesterboom's accurate portrayal of no doubt many STEEM households over the last few days. :)

• https://steemit.com/busy/@taskmaster4450/connecting-the-dots-resource-credits-will-make-steem-a-lot-more-valuable - This post - it makes a lot of sense. Thanks to @taskmaster4450 I understand better the STEEM point of difference now

So, while the role out of HF20 could have gone better, and not being able to interact much for a few days was a bummer, The long term benefits should be worth the short term pain. I just feel for people that rely on STEEM for some income, particularly in places like Venezuela where Crypto is making a big difference in many lives during tough times.

There where many more articles I could have highlighted, but these ones jumped out at me the most.

STEEM ON
