Resource Credits
So I have been reading a lot on what happened with the Hard Fork and its effect on the users.
A lot of small users like me had their account become unusable. If you have below 500 SP then you are out of luck and out of Resource Credits.
Resource Credits is what replaced the bandwidth that the Steem blockchain. I remember last February when we had bandwidth issues for redfishes and minnows. It became so bad that kind hearted dolphins and whales delegated to small users just so that they can post.
So far I have only experienced twice that I could not do anything in the Steem Blockchain.
That day that someone spammed the blockchain essentially stopping the whole thing until the witnesses did something.
Then the 2nd time was when we had the hardfork.
Both times it was system wide and thus can't do anything about it.
Maybe because I have not been that active lately that is why I don't fret too much about not being able to do anything here.
Yet for some people that use this as their livelihood or as a means to connect to people it can be very hard indeed to not be able to do anything.
Yesterday I was only able to post once and I was at around 25% Resource credits.
One whole day after I am now at 62.91% so hopefully in a couple more days my Resource Credits would be back to normal and I can respond to some of the comments.
I have been sort of in lurker mode just reading some posts and there are so many new witnesses, some returning witness that rythmes with Hairy Seinfield and how some people are reacting to it.
About how the RC is seemingly making Steem a pay to play model and that it is creating more inclusivity.
I still have not made up my mind how I feel about Resource credits and at this point is just looking at how things go.
How about you what do you think about this Resource credit?
It doesn't limit me per se (for now the VP is more of a burden ;-)) but a lot of people feel the burden. I'm thinking of delegating bits and pieces to a few users that really are here for the long haul just small and have no RC to act how they normally act. But I will first wait for the patch to work and for the RC's to actually get to about 90-100% so I can really see what the limits are and if they are indeed worse than the bandwidth limitations we've had before.
Yeah I was just over at Helpie and was informed that if the SP of a person is less than 100 SP (exactly 75) it would be severely limited in what it can do.
I don't really earn anything on here, but it was still annoying that I couldn't post what I had prepared for yesterday.
True some of the people I know was experiencing this issue.
