What does the last Hard Fork bring on Steemit ?
As you may have noticed, the last Hard Fork on Steemit went off without a hitch. It is now in force and makes some changes to the functioning of this social network based on the blockchain. But what does it bring concretely? This is what we will see together through different point.
An improved and increased voting system:
Steem Power, a factor in a member's reputation and voting and awarding ability, has increased four-fold. This has the effect of empowering all members, but more particularly the newcomers who may feel discouraged. This element encourages new entrants or members who have difficulty accumulating STEEM POWER. However, this good news will produce a counter-coup in the long term, since it could affect the course of the tokens. It will be possible to find ourselves, at a given moment, at the same point where we were before the Hard Fork. Temporarily, this can have beneficial virtues.
Another of the features of this change is to change the linear voting algorithm in Square Root Function. Quite obscure for neophytes, this is a new optimization based on the average influence of votes and not in a linear way as indicated by the name.
History preservation:
It will no longer be possible to see his old items disappear or even his comments beyond 7 days. Clearly, all your traces and interactions on Steemit will be preserved through the blockchain and can not be removed manually.
Bug fixes in all genres:
A Hard Fork can also remodel the code and fill gaps and possible bugs. For short: here is a non-exhaustive list of corrections made by the team of developers:
- Witness Price Feeds Properly Expires
- Cancellation at Steem Power Delegation Fixed
- Fixed 0 Delegation Objects
- Increased p2p Stability
Here is everything for all the different changes from this slight optimization. You will find in detail the complete list, from the source found here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/releases
