Hi @alex.welcomes. As far as I know, I don't believe there's anything in the works for a blocking function. I'm not as up on the subject as I should be though. The next update is going to be HF 20, but I'm not privy to when. Here's something that might help get you started with your quest: https://steemit.com/steem/@aggroed/5-things-pointing-to-an-incredible-2018-for-steem
It's 2:15 AM and I'm headed to bed after spending the last 3 1/2 hours answering all the comments to this post . . . and tomorrow is a busy day at work. Let me know what you find out. Thanks!
Hey @cryptographic! I want to say big thank you for the time you're spending on your community. I've been following you since June 2017 on bitcoictalk , the thread were you had a public challenge to turn 10k into 1m. You're my authority #1 in crypto.
I've started to do my research on Steem, thanks for directing me. In HF20 they have nothing about blocking function, but I still have a lot to dig in the area how network improvement proposals get created and choosen for implementation. Gonna be sharing with you and your community my findings and gonna be asking a lot more questions going forward!
P.S. it is really valuable that my questions to you always get answers!
