RE: The Return of the Nonreturnable
That's another thing I missed. Reading, voting and supporting you folks as best I can. It's good to be back. I didn't really know how to return. I scrapped a couple of posts before this. Finally I just said to hell with it. Rambling is good enough! Broke the ice, now I'm back, and it feels good.
I didn't let people forget you.

I thank you for looking out for me. I was given a link to that post a couple of days ago. After all that time I came to a crossroads. Try again, or quit forever. I can't stand the thought of quitting something I enjoy so much. It feels good to know so many have my back. That post helped me decide to push on. This is a good thing for me. An opportunity I can't waste.
My favorite comment in that post was Paul's, his computer getting excited when he hit the letter N, cracked me the hell up.
You were definitely missed, so glad you chose to push on :)
But shit, you missed an entire period where minnow votes were adding a minimum of five cents to a post from zero, up to dollars. We were whales for like ten days, lol. And now everyone is a minnow. LOL
Was that a glitch?
Not a glitch. The whales are still doing an experiment on the lot of us. Most have decided not to vote to help the reward distribution. The whales that keep voting are being countervoted by other whales to nullify the vote. This has caused the entire platform to be in an uproar but when people saw their votes MEANT SOMETHING they shut up (for the most part). Now with HF 17 & 18 out of the way, we get ONE payout after 7 days... but it's going to take at least 30 to see full "equilibrium" in the reward pool. so yea... WELCOME BACK! LOL
So let me get this straight... we're waiting 30 days for things to go back the way they were? :) Wow. Sounds like a good plan to me! ~end sarcasm
I can see the pros and cons, but for someone like me who worked hard for a following and votes, it's a slap in the face to have someone come along to take that away. I can't control who likes my stuff.... oh well, I'm over it. Hopefully I can continue down the path of being successful. If that offends people, there's something wrong with this world, not me or who votes for my stuff. I think I'll shy away from any drama in this regard, but it is fun to joke about.
...and yes, thanks for the welcome back thing! Perfect timing on my behalf!
The whale downvotes have been a pill but the results have been fair, even if the flags suck. I had 100% berniesanders downvote and survived. LOL
The way I understand it is this. One payout every 7 days. The reward pool is supposed to be based on a 30-day reward pool average but when we hardforked they did not use the last 30 days. They started at zero. So in order to get a 30 day average they need at least...?
You guessed it! 30 days!
My personal feeling is that it will be anywhere from 45 to 60 days to really feel any sense of "equilibrium". I put that in quotes because that seems to be the catch word to describe it.
I have no problem rolling with the punches and I know how to duck the ones that might sting. I'm sure this little baby of a platform will grow up soon enough and we can all just blog away instead of blogging about the blogging platform. I appreciate this information. It's helping me ease in to the chaos. I fucking love chaos most days anyway. Good times!
and did you notice??? The 6th depth comment limit is GONE. It goes deep.... very deep. LOL We were playing around on neoxian's post. Some funny shit in some of those comments.
It's about damn time as well. Maybe now more people will have actual conversations instead of writing essays back and forth that take years to process and respond to properly. A simple chat box under each article would be ideal though, in my opinion. That's never been done before, I don't think. Would be impossible to earn rewards that way though. Scratch the idea.
