Is there a fix for Netuoso's witness? It's currently running and he won't be able to change settings or unsign until 2032, which seems... bad.
On the other hand, at least we'll be able to vote him into the top 20 for a guaranteed no vote on HF21.

I did see that behavior actually, I was going to mention this one but figured it was very specific. He did a funny thing in claiming lots of accounts, using a node that had the 'fail-safe' to revert to bandwidth... and there was a cost to those actions that put him in that state. I suspect they need to work out a special case for him, though I'm not sure exactly what :). Whatever it is, probably needs a resync.
(In case you're curious, it's here)
Yeah, it definitely looks like it was his fault, but that doesn't excuse having a witness locked in a cul-de-sac like that, where its only options are to continue using the settings before the RCs were used or power down and miss blocks because it's still signed.
At the very least unsigning witnesses needs to be patched to be RC-free, and probably all witness settings.
Agreed on that. I do not know what they plan to do for it though.
Oh boy:
And that's complete. The Steemit Inc. devs have already taken the time to kill the only functionality that can stop this madeness.
Yes indeed. However, also note https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/2981 which should address what you mentioned?
If resource use is actually deflationary this might help.
My impression is that it will continue to be inflationary and this is equivalent to a fiat currency solving its problem by printing bills with higher numbers on them.
That's not a fixed budget per block, in the case you were thinking that. It's how much is added per block, so that the pool is inflationary, and with a per block % decay on unused resource credits.
I guess you could also be thinking that per block activity will be growing over time, but I think setting the starting budgets correctly should still be able to correct for it. But this is without knowing more details.
