Top witnesses @aggroed and @yabapmatt challenge bidbot owners to clean up their act after HF21.
OCD co-witness @acidyo calls on the community to vote STEEM on to the ATAIX exchange.
SPUD5 is coming up on 1 September.
There is also news from OneLoveIPFS, Dporn, SteemPower Investments, the Comment Coin Project, InformationWar, new witness @untersatz and PhotoStreem.
1. Bidbots must change after Hardfork 21
Top 20 witness, Steem-Engine co-founder and co-owner of steembottracker @aggroed has put out a call to bidbot owners to tighten up their standards for what they will vote on.
While some bidbots already have standards and guidelines in place for what posts they will accept, others do not. Those 'bad actors' must stop bidbotting poor quality 'shitposts' as this is damaging the blockchain.
The era of supporting literally anything and everything stops on Tuesday.
If it doesn't stop I plan to run an aggressive campaign against your business, against your delegators, and will try to get Steem delegated to your project moved to a more responsible one.
Fellow top witness and co-owner of steembottracker @yabapmatt has joined the call for bidbots to clean up their act...
after HF21, @aggroed and I will be expecting all of the vote selling services listed on the Steem Bot Tracker website to use both their upvote and downvote power responsibly and in a way that furthers the goals of the hard fork changes and the #newsteem movement.

#SteemPhilippines / @steem-ph had it's first official meetup two days ago.
Some of the earliest Filipino members like @surpassinggoogle are a part of the 24/7 group chat on Facebook.
Twitter & Facebook are our outreach platforms 😀🖐️😁👍
That's excellent.
Do let me know of any future meetups you have and I will include in the Steem Meetups Calendar...
We are planning to do one every week, starting next week and thereafter.
The exact date and times will be announced on our social media profiles:
I have a family I am with so the exact day and time are announced abruptly but I think people will get used to it.
If you read the actual post, we have a lot planned for #SteemPhilippines, and our online FB chat currently has 80+ members 👍😊
Thanks for the round-up and afternoon of reads!
Thank you. Your egg story was a good read too.
Thanks for the mention and voting for our witness 🤓 🇦🇺 🇱🇹
You are welcome. Good luck with the new witness.
Wahoo!!
Gooo @aggroed @yabapmatt 😀👍😁🖐️

Very nice to see the CC Project in your List. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this, although I must say that there is a mistake, is "lightcaptured", but to confess it was my mistake, I'm sorry.
