RE: Updated witness parameter "maximum block size" to 131072. Encourage other witnesses to do the same.
To resolve the problem that prompted this, we (Steemit Inc) have completed the task of re-delegating 10 SP to all accounts which were previously lowered to 5 SP. Everyone should now have 15 SP delegated to them (unless they've already exceeded this amount themselves). We don't want any new users to have a negative user experience on Steemit due to bandwidth limitations. As far as increasing the block size, there shouldn't be any negative consequences as a result but I also think it's unnecessary to do so at this time. Most of the voting issues were due to the "vote dust threshold" which is a fixed amount not related to block size. We have some additional ideas in the works for a better solution to the bandwidth limitation problem as a whole, we'll address this soon.
