Hello Steemian friends,
This is a witness log that will give community brief update about latest changes on projects and witness infrastructure. This post is scheduled and auto posted with eSteem!
Summary: Witness nodes are ready for HF19 and other eSteem project notes.
In-depth
Witness
good-karmaupgraded all nodes to HF19 (v0.19.0) and continue producing blocks. Witness parameters are unchanged, APR set to 0% to help pegging of SBD, price feed bias 0%, registration fee is 0.3 STEEM.Eager to see results of hardfork 19 within 2 days. Hope it will improve your experience for better. My slight concern is about lowered voting target, but let's see how changes will work out.
eSteem feedback and encouragement, voting experiment will be adjusted after hardfork to properly adjust weight of each vote.
eSteem spotlight, top user and giveaway - 5 days left until our next draw, I believe we will see some new members hitting top user spot this month.
eSteem new version release is scheduled after Hardfork 19 as I mentioned in previous post.
All previous witness update posts can be found on my blog or here https://steemit.com/created/good-karma for easy access and reading.
Your ever well-wisher,
Feruz
Can you explain what a hard fork is? And how it affects the platform? Thanks
Hardforks are upgrades to the underlying technology (Steem blockchain) which usually improves the consensus mechanism of the platform. With each hardfork some parameters are tweaked/improved so that platform can grow and scale. If new changes or features are changing consensus those versions of software require hardforks, but if there are few bug fixes which won't effect consensus then they are softforks.
Thank you. Have followed your posts for some time now. You have my witness vote. Best wishes. We all can appreciate "good karma."
Why is everyone in a panic and tizzy over a possible bitcoin hard fork?
Good question, imho bitcoin is quite old tech and nobody wants to break it also reaching consensus on hardfork is impossible due to community size and not properly structured model around it. They don't want to fracture community into separate groups just like Ethereum which now has Ethereum classic because they couldn't reach consensus. On Steem everything works rather different, witnesses and community reach consensus through open public discussions, posts, debates, etc...
Sounds like a winner... "Open discussion" is steem and steemit.. what a powerful design. Now if the government will get lost....
As I understood, hf19 will change only inner technically points of blockchain?
And resteem for @good-karma )
I also want to know more about hard fork in detail
Lets all hope this changes come for the good and benefit us all!
We shouldn´t be scared of hardforks, but excited about the tech´s growth !

Steem on!

Awesome! Thanks for the update. I've been having some major issues with eSteem, but hopefully soon a thing of the past
Thank you @good-karma for witnessing. HF 19 seems to be a big thing. I am very interested to see the effect of HF19 on us minnows.
Question to you: is there any design dependency between eSteem and HF19? Why new release of eSteem is scheduled after HF19?
Thanks.
There are few new changes, I would like to test and possibly include fixes as well. So it would also give extra time to improve some other parts of the app.
Spirit Mr@good-karma
We are loyaly waiting for next update.
Nice to know you have prepared for HF-19.:)
Thank you for your good post. I understand little English and only understand what Google translates for me, but I liked this post.
I wish the team good luck. I hope that these changes will only improve the platform and there will be no reverse effect.
Good news. Thank you!
I am very proud of you, my witness @good-karma. Wow! So excited that we can now schedule post with eSteem. Exactly what I have longed and wished for. Now we have it! I really like the contribution which you have made and you are still making to the Steemit community. That is why I mentioned you in a video tutorial that I made 5 days ago, https://steemit.com/steemit/@maryfavour/voting-benefits-and-how-to-vote-in-steemit . Regarding lowered voting after hardfork 19, I have mixed feelings and for that reason have alerted my followers or teammates as I prefer to call them with this post, https://steemit.com/steemit/@maryfavour/steemit-hard-fork-0-19-0-moving-from-the-40-full-power-vote-era-to-10-full-power-vote-era . Well, let's see how it goes . Thank you so much for your good work and know that you have my continued support. Well done!!! Post rebloged.
Why are you upvoting crap-comments promoting pumps as a STEEM witness?
That's probably part of eSteem encouragement program, let me know if you see any more abuses so it can be taken care of. Thanks!
Will do, and you're welcome. Would be appreciated if you removed votes because that article is trending and it's detractive.

Congratulations @good-karma!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
Hey Feruz, it looks like the HardFork 19 transition is done great and the app is working better. I could feel that the voting power has increased tremendously now but I suspect it would be short lived as it will take 96 hours to regain the full voting power. Will wait and see how it turns out with the payout. You have been a great help! May your good karma repay you in tons!
I am very happy to follow you @good-karma
Are you willing to follow me
