Oh... will make it even more difficult for noobies. Not good!

Wow, these are quite substantial changes! Are the changed RC costs only coming from including the execution time into the calculation? Esp. the change in the follow op costs seems huge compared to other custom_jsons...

There are three changes:

Thanks for the links! The increased costs of the follow ops (or technically the decreased costs for all other custom_jsons) seem to be fully intentional. Any idea on the "why"?

A follow op is costly, as it has to be collected and stored into a database. The number of follower influences for example the feed. When all steemit user would follow 100000 accounts, the performance would be decreasing I think. All other custom_json are not that costly, e.g. a custom_json for steemmonsters do not influence the performance, as they will not be parsed by a steem API.

Does it mean that I should follow now ASAP as many as I can of those whose content interests me?

Yes, if you want to save RCs, then you should follow everyone you intend to before the update.

Great job, thank for this information, my bro @holger80

Thanx to inform about this. I was already surprised because I can do nothing after very little activity, because of lack of RC.

This is very informative.

Did you get to test / understand the following : https://github.com/steemit/steem/releases/tag/v0.20.6rc1

Removed the old bandwidth system. This includes the removal of several API fields that were specific to bandwidth and the removal of the witness_api, which was used exclusively for returning information related to bandwidth. (#2039)

This means that the witness_api is removed. The old bandwidth system was replaced by the RC system. By removing the old bandwidth system, the blockchain reply time is reduced.

Yea - there was a typo. The correct issue is #3029 it was mentioned 2039 earlier :-D
