I just saw that I was getting liquid Steem again. I figured that we had reached the point where it started. It would be nice if they would change the interface to reflect that the rewards won't actually be 50/50. I believe in setting appropriate expectations, and if they're saying people will get 50/50, that's what they should get. It shouldn't be too difficult to make the numbers dynamic.
I've been enjoying the lower prices. It's always a bit discouraging to see the lower post payouts, but as I'm powering up, I don't mind. I get more rewards for the lower amount of payout. And it likely discourages people from posting which makes the pool increase. More for those who stick it out!
It is still 50/50 as it is actually liquid/sp that is being calculated, not sbd/steem. Most don't know that though perhaps.
Yep, these times are made for the future staked.
