HardFork 19 - The Ultimate WTF Moment of Awakening!
Has anybody noticed anything different in the past few hours? :)
If you answer “No”, then you need to open up those peepers a bit more. HardFork 19 just got switched on. The peanut gallery is going crazy right now. People are experiencing the euphoria akin to matching up the Powerball numbers. The masses of social media users are just now starting to get a glimpse of what’s poppin’ over here on Steemit, and what they are seeing is that they can get paid for doing the things they’re already doing. They seem to think that’s insane. As current Steemit users, whether you’ve been here for a day or for a year, you know it’s as real as a peanut butter & jelly sandwich is. A mass awakening in the online world and the social media world is inevitable and with HF 19, exploding the place, things are going to be getting a bit more chaotic, at least it seems that way. Today’s excitement will die down a bit, or will it? But there will still be a buzz of the unknown and of how this all will play out, in the days, months and years ahead. The moment of awakening has arrived, flow with it or get washed up on the side.
What are your thoughts on HF 19, Good? Bad? Awesome?

It is awesome! I know we are both patched into it but just so your viewers can watch too here is the LIVE feed of the people trying to get a Steemit account, buy STEEM, and power up!
Yeah buddy! The insanity is trying to knock the door down and rush the place :) Thanks for sharing the LIVE FEED @brianphobos!
People got their tits out and everything.
Yeah, I've found that out the hard way LOL
oh wow..you did that?? peace man!
It was more of a joke than anything. People steal pictures and link pornhub videos in the nsfw category and get upvoted and make legit money doing it. I got flagged at 10 dollars for not stealing pictures and making fun of the situation. Just goes to show how sexually repressed and insecure people can be.
Damn and I have been taking new nudes every 5 minutes and pasting them on steemit when i could have been doing this. hahah
Haha i know! but not realising the nsfw involvement..chill and watch that blood pressure ;)
What's your take on the reward pool vetting depleted? price of steem?
Those are valid concerns and important things to consider @immarojas. I think this will all level out to a point and definitely not be as explosive as it currently is, for those reasons you mention. We don't need anything to tank and self implode itself, so we can enjoy the current situation while it's happening, but be ready for a correction of sorts. Or maybe not? Time will tell.
Oh i am enjoying it, don't get me wrong. the best thing to do is, have a holiday!
A holiday sounds nice right about now, and all the extra Steem can help pay for it ;)
Oh yeah!!
I absolutely love this change! It's so amazing!
Yeah, it's looking like a pretty amazing thing right now @tob1, let's see if it stays that way.
It might let the steemprice drop a bit but I think thats ok
Hey @sandstorm , it is a blast, a total change with HF19. The linear rewards help the little minnows to grow faster. Now it is even more important to post quality content, to make a difference in the noise that will come with the influx of many new accounts
Man, you know how it is @alexvan, you saw this coming too right? :) Keep up the quality and the vision and we'll all go far in this thing.
Yeah, I see it coming. Does chainbb work for you anymore after hf19?
ChainBB should work fine, the follow upvotes have been discontinued though.
Ok, it was good as it lasted :D
It sure was.
Wait for the awakening of the whales. This will level everything quite a bit. Maybe the excitement, too. So let's enjoy it while it lasts:)
Best case is that HF19 will trigger a second 'July 2016 payout' - momentum. Let's see :)
I hear that @shaka! There WILL BE be a leveling out and a re-balance for sure, but as the euphoria is flowing, a little enjoyment can be had for the moment :) Thanks for your thoughts!
I'm very happy with the results! I did not expect it to have this much of an effect on payouts and voting power.
@playfulfoodie , agreed, It is pretty remarkable the jumps in payouts and voting juice. I hope it stays for a while :)
So far the changes are pretty awesome looking... what makes me particularly happy is seeing newcomers be excited that their participation means something... and that's good, in terms of how it might help the overall future health of Steemit.
Awesome indeed @denmarkguy. Excitement is everywhere right now, I just hope that even a fraction of this effect remains after things cool down, to keep the participation and excitement high.
I think it is awesome, however you need to 'ration' you votes so to speak. Your voting power will be depleted much faster, but I think it will balance out once people gain an understand of how powerful their upvotes really are.
Definitely @wthomas, there'll be a learning curve to it, but it will make things more interesting around here, that's for sure. Good that you mentioned about the vote depletion, that will be the biggest thing to keep an eye on and how this is all going to play out.
Everyone is cheering on steemit! Making it rain!
They sure are @karensuestudios :)
HAHAHAH! YES!
LOL, fits the mood perfectly, don't you think Haha
You are hilarious. Just followed you :) like your spunk!
haha, thanks for that @karensuestudios. The fun has just begun too ;)
