3. Steem-Engine Hack
Steem-Engine was established on Steem several years ago to support second-layer tokens for Tribes.
It was set up by @aggroed, @harpagon, @holger80 and @eonwarped. After the Hive fork they all moved to Hive, and although Steem-Engine continued to operate on Steem it was no longer actively maintained or developed.
A few days ago @aggroed announced that the Steem-Engine node database had been hacked and deleted. His team are making efforts to restore the database from backups, but then they plan to shut down Steem-Engine.
While most Tribes moved to Hive, there are still a few active users of Steem-Engine including steemcoinpan (SCT), steemzzang (ZZAN) and @donatello's music and dance community.
@donekim of the @dev.supporters witness team has been posting updates on the situation...
Witness @symbionts has also posted about the Steem-Engine problem...
4. Power Ups Still on the Up
The latest stats from @remlaps this week have revealed another increase in the amount of STEEM that is powered up.
The past week has seen a 656K SP (0.4%) increase to 165,971,428 STEEM powered up, equivalent to a value of $39,791,649...
@remlaps continues to track the impact of Steemit's burnsteem25 campaign encouraging people to set a 25% beneficiary to @null to reduce the amount of STEEM, which potentially will increase its value.
October saw an increase of 457 STEEM burned over the total for September.
The total burnt since June has now exceeded 154K SP...
Pennsif the Witness
After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.
I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness

Thank you for the update on issues on the platform. It was nice to read it. Thank you for your time sharing. Steem on!
Hi friend, within the whole panorama, there is good news here. Many projects are materializing, and others are expanding.
I think it will be a matter of time to see the results.
I'm sorry about what happened to the steem-engine and I hope they can fix it with the backups.
It is good to see a new community for Pakistan, I wish them success.
And there are still a few hours left for the applications of the communities, I think there may be a few more.
Thank you for this news report of interest to the platform.
I also wish you much success as a witness.
Greetings and blessings 😊
News about hacking steem-engine is very important for me as well as other users, vigilance must continue to be increased so as not to cause things we don't want.
Thank you for posting the news about WSP South Africa in your steem news, I hope @smilesouthafrica will soon announce the first project that provides positive feedback on steemit.
It is time! Time to put smiles on faces!
Thank you for mentioning the World Smile Project for South Africa. Your support and those of our fellow Steemians are appreciated.
Un gran saludo amigo @pennsif.
Un resumen extraordinario el que nos ha hecho con esas noticias, la mayoría alentadora.
Esperemos que se pueda arreglar lo de Steem Engine.
Muy buenas noticias lo de Pakistán, tener una comunidad sólida y unida para apoyar a tantos usuarios pakistaníes que están presentes.
Esperemos que se postulen otras comunidades para la 6ta temporada del SECH
