2441 - HF19 a Success
4 hours ago
joseph70 in steemit
HF19 a Success:
In a few hours Hard Fork 19 will take place, I know most of you would think I will talk about what is in HF19 like the purpose of the fork in making smaller votes count (4x voting + linear rewards), but what I want to talk about is a major positive change that took place even before the fork.

As we all know HF17 a major change that took a long time in the works failed witness approval and it was somewhat reversed in HF18 (both HF17 and HF18 took place at the same time), but the change that brought forward was a commitment by @ned and @sneak to make every hardfork after that a success by involving the witnesses and the community while the work is being done.

In my opinion the success of HF19 has already happened in HF17, not the technical success, not the distribution of rewards, not the linear rewards, the real success is the path the team has taken to bring change. Regardless whether HF19 will fix everything we want to fix or not, we no longer have to discuss a HF when the time comes to apply changes, because at the same time the code is being changed the discussion by your witnesses is also taking place, so when a fork has a confirmed date the team and the witnesses have already reached an agreement. This the best change that HF19 brings, no more weeks of wasted effort by the team.

Also with this change the voting experiment run by @abit and @smooth will come to an end. A big salute to these two witnesses who's selfless acts have proven time and time again how much they care about Steemit and the community.

With HF19 it is now the job of every Steemian to work and re-distribute the rewards as they see fit, your vote has more power, use it. Upvote content you like, and you are doing your part in making Steemit a better place.

I am sure @biophil the math wizard will crunch the numbers for us soon on HF19. He will tell us the best way to vote and when to vote. But it is your job to find the content you want to vote for, and that's the most important part.

Bancor Revisted:
I wanted to bring your attention to this article about Bancor:

http://hackingdistributed.com/2017/06/19/bancor-is-flawed/

If you followed my analysis of these ICO's you probably read my concerns about them. So I will not go further than telling you to research research research, that's your best tool to separate the good from the bad. Even a bad ICO can present a short term profit opportunity. Know when to hold them and know when to fold them.
