Having similar problems this morning. Even more troubling was that I was unable to even log into busy.org for a while-- getting a "no such user" error message.
I understand we're "in Beta" and all that good stuff, but it would be nice if someone were in charge of posting system updates to the Steemit twitter or even the Steemit Facebook page.
"Beta" is a lame excuse for experimenting with a live system without announcement. Sorry if my annoyance shines through there, nothing to do with you 8-).
