new superblock brings you +35% magnitude increase (July 30, #980239, 35h birth time)
After 35h we have again a superblock!
- super block #980239 (2017-07-30 10:37:20)
- the average superblock creation time since June 20 is now about 54h (median = 38h).
And you might notice actually a MAGNITUDE INCREASE in your wallet right? Should be about 35% more
- see here: "* 1.35"
- see release notes in version 3.5.9.8
For number fetishists:
- 35h birth time, +35% magnitude increase, ...
The reason why the magnitude was increased for everyone by 35% was because the SB's were being rejected. There is a rule in the C++ that rejects SB's if the average magnitude is below 70.
And since we've had a large amount of new users registering CPIDS the average dropped below this level causing the long delays in SB's being created.
The previous 2 SB's were forced through by @ravonn adding a dummy CPID with high mag. However there was a slight issue with doing this because the mag_unit reduced. To prevent the mag unit drop, Rob made a change to increase everyone's mag and still allow SB's to be accepted.
This is a temporary solution until a mandatory can be scheduled to solve the problem.
I imagine though that a 35% increase in mag will see an even larger drop in the mag_unit until a mandatory update is passed.
Stake now if you have been waiting to stake.
Like I said earlier, sending an in app email notifying users of new update and making this update a mandatory update will go a long way in helping our situation. Most users are not following steemit, reddit or order social media post and don't know when new updates are available.
like this?
So, why is it not implemented? It's been an old time (2016) add-on suggestion based on the time stamp on the post.
Not enough resources? You could always add the change yourself and create a pull request. I'm sure the devs would be happy to merge it in.
Now, I need to become the programmer I ought to be.
I saw a 25% increase, hooray!
Also, noticed a fast loading time too or is it just me?
Fast loading time for me returned with version 9.7 - it was nice.
Here a picture showing you not to come too late to the "+35% magnitude boost" party:

Nice, I believe it worth the long wait. I hope all errors will be corrected permanently and Almighty Super Block will start arriving on time faster than Santa.
Sending an in app email notifying users of new update and making this update a mandatory update will go a long way in helping our situation.
Salute to all devs* working tirelessly.
