Well, it's about 1.5 Days now after HF19 changes and frenzy. How are you coping? How are you making out? What are your thoughts, don't hold back Steemit Family! Have your say.

For those of us that vote A LOT - we are finding the voting system changes challenging, the voting power drains out more quickly it seems. It will take some time to adjust to this, - pun intended.

So when you hit the mark on Steemit when your vote slider appears, that is a big deal to help distribute your votes / voting power more effectively.

STEEM price (the currency) -- took a sharp rise and then a dip / drop yesterday if you look at the charts, right around the time of the HardFork release and dropped all day after that. The rise came early and first.... and the drop came after.

I am not saying it is related to the HF changes/release into the wild. Here are the 2-day charts from Poloniex:

Im loving it, can up-vote myself $10.

[omninova]

And again, haha.

[mattyjbfitness]

Wow! That's awesome!!

[full-measure]

Does HF19 cause there to be more inflation? Anyone know?

[vangelov]

The votes get more balanced now depending on how much you want to pump it up.. And the and trades are going through the roof which means more people more trades better prices and uprising.
Dye emit to the moon.
Much love and support from me :)

[barrydutton]

You have been definitely active all over and people are noticing.

Thank you!

[paradise-found]

Good idea for a post Barry, rant or rave!!
So far I believe it has been great. I think everyone is enjoying having their vote mean something.
And I bet the results are that the wealth is more evenly distributed. Steem on!!

[barrydutton]

Let us hope my friend.

it is nice to hear from you

[tastetwist]

💯 💢 so far so GOOD 💯 💢

[jbouchard12]

I'm a fan of what happened to my posts prior to the fork. Afterwards not so much, yes my posts are still getting some views but without @randowhale i'd be getting hardly anything. I did an awesome recipe for salmon picatta and it was swept under the rug last night. I used to gets hundreds of upvotes 6 months ago that has dwindled. Nearly 30% of my followers have been inactive for months. Working on getting new ones!

[thinksalot]

Since the Update HF19 my account has become much more Alive and Active. Meaning that all my posts have doubled in value and for a Newbie like myself it was like Christmas in June!!

I am now receiving multiple payments a day...
Always having something to redeem is very Motivating and has me wanting to reach for the Keyboard every free second from the little ones.
I may be able to pay for a NANNY to help with these girls if this keeps up.

AWESOME!!! From a minnows view!

[dzboston33]

I feel the same way, but it looks like both us were gone for a while. I'm sure in due time it will start to pick back up!

[steve-speaks]

Resteemed and Upvoted full power ;) Keep up the good work.

[barrydutton]

Thanks for the support!

[imwatsi]

Long story short, I'm loving the experience because personally I feel that every aspect of user interaction has become more valuable in the sense of us getting more Rewards as well as the rewards being fairly distributed amongst all users.

[barrydutton]

That is good input for sure.

I love being able to UV someone and tangibly see it helping them for real.

Thanks!!

[imwatsi]

You're welcome!

[berkat]

Nice post

[barrydutton]

.

[carlowenj]

always fun to read....well done.

[barrydutton]

Thanks

[cryptocharts]

Hf19 skyrocketed my rewards income

[barrydutton]

Yes, any other thoughts or ideas???

[cryptocharts]

Voting power drains so quickly but good for not abusive use..
It now use precisely

[lucklight]

People seem to be happy and earning more for smaller audiences. Looks like thumbs up all around and no complaints so far. Steem On!

[barrydutton]

Thanks for the input today!

[saffisara]

Really nice post. Followed upvoted and resteemed :0) thx for sharing

[barrydutton]

Thanks for the support on the post!

[saffisara]

Ur welcome :0)

[vickaboleyn]

More or less. On certain hours I don't have access to the Steemit Chat :/

[barrydutton]

I've not heard that before, really?

[vickaboleyn]

Yes. In fact since yesterday the Steemit chat is down, but they are working on it.

[dzboston33]

It has been an experience! I have no complaints as of yet, just keeping my nose to the floor and working!

[barrydutton]

Hammer away and Steem On, I like it... I relate!

[dzboston33]

Trying to hammer away, just need to connect more. My post go largely unnoticed hoping my most recent one is a decent read though.

[capitalpink]

HF19 was an amazing update. For new accounts lime mine it really helped.

[barrydutton]

yes, you will never know the struggles of 15 votes and 10¢ payouts on a post LOL!!!

(:

Myself and @mindhunter talk about these days on the regular, we know those days well LOL

[capitalpink]

I heard someone talk about a personal record of 37 votes with $0.00 earned.

The struggles were worth it. You were on here much earlier than most will ever be. =)

[travelersmemoire]

I made almost $1000 off HF 19 so I'm happy!

[barrydutton]

I like the progress and happiness!

[mattyjbfitness]

Wow

[erikaflynn]

On eSteem every minnow has a slider:-) Cheers!

[droidsid]

For a minnow like me, it has been great so far. I've never seen so much payout on any of my posts before, which is awesome :) As for the Voting Power, well, I'm going to make sure it gets to those who deserve it.

Things are definitely better and more balanced now. :)

[gangster.inc00]

I think the change that took place is all for the better. It looks like how things should be. The platform is investing more into the people, in turn should cause steemites to invest more in themselves by building more steem power in their wallets. By everyone investing in this great platform it should raise the value of steem dallors, cause multiple good investments translate to multiple profits as I see it.

[aunt-deb]

For now, I'm finding 20% on posts and 1% on comments is a good balance. I may tweak that a little over the coming days, but I'll have to see how this 'recipe' work outs first.

[barrydutton]

You might have that just about nailed down Deb.

This is NOT related but did you hear the news???? Read the last 2 posts on @joseph's page about SteemFest..........guess who won????

#TheForkening

LOL

[aunt-deb]

Wow, that's beyond awesome! You are going to have a blast!

One suggestion... check out pizza places there just in case you need a fix. ;~D

We will expect tons of pictures!

[lexikon082]

I read @aunt-deb's comment and it may have helped me. However, I was going to say in regard to HF-19 that I was struggling with what percentages to vote on content. After reading her recommendation I may try that exact formula for a few days to see how it works. Why do you you think Steem price went down after HF 19? You would have thought it just became more appealing to new users and the price would have risen.

[heigovannik]

It's awesome! Numbers are getting bigger :)
