Payouts gone up! A filled to the brim reward pool will start dishing out substantial rewards 3 days from now.
The payouts are going up while STEEM is going down.
It's a nice little extra that's coming soon for the users that stuck around although I do expect it to be temporary.
The reward pool is extra full because it hasn't paid out any substantial rewards in the last 10 days.
And we still have another 3 days before the real payouts start so it will probably go up a little more.
Here's a small timeline explaining why:
Reward pool timeline.
25th September
HF 20 resulted in 24h of no posts because of RC/Mana bug.
Rewardpool filled up 1 extra day.
26th September
Users can post again but no Voting mana. So basically 5 days of little votes. Many don't post Source. The users that do post will receive very little rewards 7 days later.
Rewardpool fills up 5 extra days.
1st Oktober
Voting Mana is restored and people start posting and voting again (3 days ago). But it takes 7 days to get payouts from these posts.
rewardpool fills up 7 extra days
End result
The reward pool has been filling up more than it could give away over 10 days. It's now filled with 900.000 STEEM (normally around 750.000).
A filled to the brim reward pool will start dishing out substantial rewards 3 days from now.
A nice little extra for the users that kept posting!
Enjoy it!

Oh no, this extra INFLATION could DESTROY Steem!!!
;-)
LOL!!
I made most of my STEEM fortune posting daily in the dark ages of Steemit, back when STEEM was $0.10. I didn’t know anything about blockchain. As far as I understood, Steemit gave me something for my content when Facebook and Instagram charged me just so others could see my work. I was explained by @mada what a decentralized community was, and that was enough to convert me for life. Months and months of posts at $0.10 payouts [...when Steemit was a ghost town for the most part] paid out [...at the time] in 100% STEEM. The following spring it skyrocketed to $2.80. I really try to encourage people to post daily, prolifically and consistently for all the reasons we love Steemit, but these little bonuses are extra sweet when they happen.
Well said. If you post anyway, it's best to do it here and not waste content and creativity on Instagram or Facebook. Too bad I did discover Steemit a little bit too late but anyways it opened many doors and my view towards the cryptospace.
Accumulating is the best strategy nowadays.
Steem on

I remember those dark ages very well. Even today all those STEEM tokens earned back then if kept would have been worth 8x as much today.
Never stop posting is what I would recommend too. And yes, they sure are!
Very inspirational comment and yes always be consistent everyday @kommienezuspadt
Yeah, I've been noticing that the value of a 100% upvote has been increasing slowly, even while Steem continues its downward trend. Now I better understand why that was happening... thanks @exyle!
Same for me. I was wondering how my upvote kept going up without STEEM going up. I regularly track both.
This is really good for those of us who were able to post throughout and chose to.
I've never been turned off by the idea that STEEM is low in price. What difference does it make when you're just powering up anyway? I've never withdrawn any STEEM from the platform and don't plan to until I've been on here for a year. So for me it's all been extra accumulation, because rewards were also easier to come by just in these months in which people have not wanted to post for low immeidate dollar value of rewards.
Thanks for sharing good news.
The great thing is that to add to the large pool, Steem at its prices is getting more distributed. Whereas a $2-3 post would have only yielded o 1 Steem in the last in rewards, it is now providing 2-3 Steem. That logic is what has motivated me to post everyday and engage actively in comments to take advantage of this opportunity that may not last long!
Thanks for this useful information! I'm happy I stayed. Most are in for the money as always. Let's see how bright the future is and what it's gonna hold for us:)
Yes I've been wondering that too, from all the money coming in, well that's good

Equilibrium should be reached across the board.
Really good to see a little bump when you stick around.
