I don't think that a negative RC was a bug. It was a feature nobody paid attention to how will it be carried out for real.
That brings us to the following question:
did anybody test the upgrade?
Again, as an IT professional I would be out of business after an episode like this one.
Ps: you'll get my upvotes after VP recharges itself. Now it is useless to vote ...
I guess witnesses should have performed those tests... It is not only Steemit Inc devs...
It seems to me that a majority of the witnesses, the 20 first, supported the deployment of the HF20 without actually testing it in deep at the testnet...
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN...
Thanks dude...
I am recharging as well...
There is a thing called development phase testing.
Every developer working on the code should have noticed it.
About the witnesses... I am very tempted to remove all my witness votes.
