RE: Thoughts on HF20, Scaling Back My Negativity, and Remaining Skeptically Hopeful. (WTF was that!?)
That was the best thing yet I read on the HF20 'debacle' I think is a good word.
Very fair point about needing to know the cost of 'mana' - I noticed my v.new alt account with 3 SP couldn't post via actifit yesterday...it just logically cannot be the case that you need 200 SP to do anything.
Although it occured to me that more engaged genuine users with low sp might actually have to limit their comments!
@Tabris did a recent post testing out mana costs for various actions - I dunno how to link to it but I just resteemed it.
On the 'putting steem second front'... yup - I'm glad this is a second income, but I still like it here. Then again so did matt sokol, who you may remember...

I would run a competition called 'find the problems mentioned by Matt that HF20 will solve', but I think the answer's too easy!
Still, as you say, there's nothing else quite like it out there.

This is a great article. Thank you. I resonate with so much of what Sokol is saying. I didn't realize he had left. I became very concerned about the same time he did--around March - July of this year.
BTW it cost me 0.5% resource credits to post that last comment. Not sure how quickly it recharges though.

Man, what I am really confused about is the new account creation process. If I am understanding this correctly, new accounts simply cannot post until they pay? I am wondering how much SP is required before a new account can complete the basic and necessary task of making a post...
I know what you mean... he also seems to have developed more of a professional persona, less scatterbrained. Maybe he's quit the weed!
How does upvoting affect yr VP btw... is it the same as usual?

Lol. May be.
I haven't looked into that too deeply yet. Just taking things slowly and trying to get back up to speed. I think it may be similar to before. Seems that way, anyway.
I just risked it - seems similar. Voting that is.
In terms of RC... 0.5% reduction for a comment and 0.05 for an upvote, but the regen rate is so fast I can't see it ever hitting zero.
Assuming you sleep that is.
Which bots don't so I guess that'll help resolve those!
