Steem successfully upgraded to version 20+.
Hardfork has caused only one problem at this moment. VP (VM now) are recharging from zero even from minus.
I didn't research the community's reaction in detail. But I meet dissatisfied reviews periodically. People are indignant why they lost a week when they didn't vote more than normal. I don't think so and this is a normal sacrifice for the future of the network, because we got so many new things. The main thing I think is free account registrations.
Creating accounts was a major problem. People had to wait a few weeks before their registration would be approved. Not all new users were ready for this. And without new users, there is no future.
Now large SP holders can create accounts for free. The exact figures are not yet known, but it seems that million of SP are needed to create several hundred accounts a day. At this moment you need to have 1 000 000 SP to create 250 accounts.
ACTUAL PRICE FOR CLAIMING ACCOUNT at 2018-09-27 15:23:18 (UTC)
8,406,892,071,103 RC needed for 1 claim_account!
The price for 1 claimed_account decreases every few hours. I believe that it takes about a week for the price to be fixed.
SP generates a certain number of RC tokens, which are useless in large numbers. Large SP holders shouldn't be against creating services for registering new users. It can be free for community, it will be free for them. Registration service can attract some attention to their main services.
If people have invested in Steem and now have to lose a week they also don't need to get upset. The potential growth of Steem after the hardfork and the influx of new users will accurately cover all losses in the prospects. But there are almost no dissatisfied users among investors and developers. Everyone must understands the prospects and benefits of the HF20.
As the system needs to balance, so do our minds. Sometimes, change is a little hard to digest. I like it. I for example get excited with changes, not unwell.
Great post
