Hey, @buggedout.
Hey, thanks for the response. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
There's certainly been quite a bit of testing going on compared to last time, so it will be interesting to see if we get another halting of the chain, or most of locked out, or just what will actually become of all of our votes with the new curve.
re: downvotes
Yeah. That will be interesting too. I think the best case scenario is, there's no significant change (in other words, not an increase in unwarranted attacks that escalate into STEEM-wide freeforalls), other than there's not penalty for doing it five or some times a day. :) In this case, a slight bump up in the inanity from the status quo is probably a win.
