The change is a bit drastic, although the eventual outcome is intended as an improvement, we need to see how this change will effect rewards on the 4th, maybe @arhag can enlighten us. To me the 4th is just another day when it comes to steemit, but it seems we started the fireworks a bit early for some. This might be our biggest debate yet, just like the one that happened a little while ago with bitcoin's block size.

" only accounts with simple posting authorities consisting of a single key can qualify for activity rewards. There is still the n^2 rule which means that voting for yourself will cause you to earn below-average returns compared to voting for others." These statements by @dan need some clarification. or anyone who understands them.
