I am not formatting this post because frankly it doesn't matter (plus I don't want to use any more resource credits than necessary). Anyways, my friends can't really use the platform and wouldn't spend any of their resources commenting even if they could (the genius that thought they would, should be fired @ned).
So... here goes:
Hard Fork 20 will get fixed one way or another. That's a fact. How do I know you ask?
No sane person would ever "pay" (or use resource credits) to make a comment on a social media site. So either all comments stop and we cease to be a social media site, or Steemit fixes it.
If common everyday people can't use the site to do anything, they will leave. So either the 80 to 90% of the people that can't do anything right now leave, or or Steemit fixes it.
Promising projects like Steem Monsters will go elsewhere so their users can "use" the system. So either these projects find other blockchains, or Steemit fixes it.
This is a binary situation. There is no middle ground. You can't have shades of truth on this one. If people have to pay anything meaningful to make a comment, buy a steemmonster card, or even vote a witness; then you can bet your ass they will not do so and will leave. So the question isn't "will Steemit will fix the problem?", the question is "how much damage will Steemit let be done before they fix the problem?".
Its simple and very easy to understand. So don't worry, even tech geniuses that talk to themselves instead of interacting with the people will figure it out. Sooner or later it will get fixed, one way or another!
So don't worry ;)
ps... @fulltimegeek is now a witness. Lets all go vote for him and get him in the top 20.
Well I think I am leaving if this doesn't clear up fast. I have my own website and other social media accounts that don't cause these headaches. I earn off them as much as I earn here and everyone can participate without the need for any credit, power, rank or crypto etc... So why bother if steemit is going to make it so difficult now?

That's what I'm trying to make the point about. Its exactly people like you that @ned should be listening to. You are here until you're gone. I only hope they fix it properly and in time to save the majority from leaving. I only care to the extent that I have friends here and I hate to see a community split up, but I realize that many people have needs and thresholds that only they can deal with. Let's hope they get to it soon! Thanks for the comment!

Well I have been planning on spending more time on here again (finally) but now with the new HF I am really unsure. I think a huge part of building a following involves commenting and engaging with others - meeting new people. And if there is a limit to this then newer accounts will find it harder than it already is to gain traction.
Seems like this will just make it harder for smaller accounts while larger more established accounts will just coast along

I agree that it is a reason to pause and think through your plans. I wish I could tell you that it will be fixed (and maybe it will), but that remains to be seen in the next few days and weeks. They say they hear the points and will make changes, so we'll see.
And I agree completely with your assessment regarding the small accts and the larger ones. You are spot on!

This whole situation is hilarious. I mean who actually came up with charging people to interact? I 100% understand why new took out a huge chunk of steem before this. If he would have put as much thought onto actually making a productive hard fork and addressing the old problems instead of just creating new ones as he did planning on robbing the piggy bank then we might actually have something useable. Unfortunately he pressed 2 for espanol. Which is wierd because I thought he had a thing for Asian chicks. What number do you press for that?

Why would I pay to comment or post here? I can literally go to my Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Minds, Gab, Instagram or other numerous social medias and post what I post for free anyway, I'm not particularly controversial. =\ Plus I also have my own VPS running my own Oxwall installation where I post as well and literally earn more from that Oxwall installation than I do on Steemit.
Steemit is just yet another platform, nothing insanely special for me.

I don’t claim to be a tech expert and I do have my concerns about the RC system, but we’re still quite soon after the fork and waiting for the new system to calculate & reach equilibrium. These costs aren’t fixed and are falling as seen here.
For the first time ever, Steemit plastered a news banner on the site, and “The Steem blockchain was upgraded on September 25th. You may experience trouble posting and transacting while the new bandwidth system stabilizes.” is wholly accurate right now.
The best thing we can do right now, as more senior accounts with greater flexibility to interact, is keep using the chain and feeding the new RC system more data.
At the moment, there’s little to fix. It’s a waiting game. We don’t need to plug a hole in the pool, we just need to wait for the garden hose to fill it.
I’ll consider the new system a failure if weeks from now it hasn’t substantially reduced the cost of small accounts to interact from HF19 levels. Users have needed about 15 SP (delegated freely from Steemit Inc.) to have a standard user experience without bandwidth errors. I expect the RC credit system when in balance, to greatly reduce this number, or else Steem cannot scale up. That’s my fear right now, but I’ll be watching the RC costs fall and cheering on the way down, or sweating & biting my nails if they climb!

Currently you need a 7 SP account to make 1 comment a day and that is all that account can do. Before hardfork it was in the 1.5-3 SP range and easily make 2 comments an hour. I hope that those with larger RC holdings make more comments in order to drive the price down.
The witnesses applied a patch to fix the negative RC amounts people had, they basically airdropped enough RCs into the accounts to bring them to 0.
When they airdropped the RC tokens to everyone via patch they should have given everyone a bump to bring them above 0 to double or 3x the amount they gave out so that we could interact and burn them on the way down while driving the price of transactions down.

I was one of those afflicted with a 4 Quadrillion RC deficit that first day! 😂
Most folks are panicking thinking of a simple market system where more activity can only drive prices up, but the RC system is obviously a different beast in its allocation of blockchain resources.
I’m trying to make an effort to be especially active right now to do some small part in reaching equilibrium sooner.

Ohh I'm definitely checking that out... I hope to hell they aren't following this path by design. Is there anyone up there with any common sense? Who the hell would pay to make a comment?

I think you’re a bit hung up on the idea of “paying to comment.” We’ve been doing it all along, but they just called it bandwidth, same difference.
Delegating RCs independent of SP makes sense for sites and apps built on Steem. dApps could carve out bandwidth for their sites/customers specifically so that users can sign up at no cost and start with a fully functional experience, without delegating out precious SP.
Unless a high SP holder is running an automated comment/vote/transaction bot of some sort, they’ll never come close to using all their RC. I’d gladly delegate some to other projects.

I understand your comment and we will see how it unfolds. The fact that they gave us enough so that we didn't notice we were using any meaningful bandwidth and thus didn't notice any cost maybe made that work. Where the argument will bear out (either way) is what happened to that bandwidth we were using before... If they took it away from the 80 to 90%ers and gave it to the 1%ers, and now expect those people to start paying to get it back, then I think they will find that isn't going to go according to plan. And the point about the large RC holders delegating their newly gained RCs to the masses isn't going to fly either. This place was already bad enough in the hoops people went through to get votes to make a living, there will be very few that will jump through those same hoops to be able to make a comment or buy a steemmonster card. It might seem like a great idea to the people at the top to "lord" over the resources of the platform, but the people at the bottom will have a different view if the things they can do will change. Trust me or not, its up to you... I'm just telling you what I see and hear from many of the people on the streets (so to speak)

I wouldn’t expect end users to jump through hoops to purchase delegated RCs, but I would expect businesses on the chain to do so. A business like Steem Monsters may choose to buy RCs to make it so that actions done in their markets & tournaments don’t deduct from the end user but from the platform instead. If Steem Monsters uses a lot of infrastructure writing details of card collections & tournaments into the blockchain, delegation will allow them to foot the bill for that, build it into their pack prices, and create a seamless experience for their end users.
It’s kind of like how certain cell phone carriers will partner with music or video streaming services that don’t count toward your monthly GB data allowance. They’re footing the bill to give a customer perk.
Either way the network costs need paid. The biggest question asked about Steem is, “Where does the money come from?” and it comes from us. Facebook is going to pick up the server tab for all your actions because it has a business model that is built into. I envision many applications and businesses picking up the RC tab for their users in much the same way; but of course users here can stockpile their own resources over time, be self sufficient, and are bound to no single application.
But all that is big business conjecture. I still believe all that bandwidth wasn’t shunted into the hands of the elite, the new RC system is simply feeling out available resources vs. transaction volume. I think a normal user experience with minimal SP will be reached in the coming days.

Thanks for the conversation! It’s a little quiet on Steem right now for some reason! 😂
I enjoy thinking theoretically about the application of changes like this, SMTs, etc. Its a mind bending future to try to predict, but fun!
I think I have a more relaxed attitude just from being around a bit longer. I used to be able to look at every single post made, and there was no option to follow people! I’ve been through the hard fork that changed the rewards curve and inadvertently “drained the rewards pool.” People didn’t earn rewards for a month, so this hiccup in bandwidth and voting power seems less consequential.
People who just kept doing their thing during the “great reward drought” did best. They continued to build audiences, polished their skills, and reap the benefits to this day, outperforming peers who gave up out of frustration & later came back, or consciously stopped posting for a month because there was no immediate monetary reward. That’s a lesson I carry into this post HF20 environment for sure.

They have no choice but to fix it. If @ned just thinks this is going to go away over time like aired issues with previous hard forks, he is mistaken, because this time it is different. We've just essentially introduced a tax on everything in the Steem ecosystem and it doesn't just affect posting content, it affects every dApp building on Steem.
DLive copped a lot of flak for leaving, they got downvoted into oblivion and people were understandably mad (including me), but this hard fork is so bad that I now understand why DLive left.
I would not actually blame @steemmonsters if they decided it wasn't feasible to remain on the Steem blockchain, given they're called Steem Monsters (emphasis on Steem) something tells me that probably will not happen.
I actually backed the Steem Monsters Kickstarter which is ending in a few days and the timing for those guys probably couldn't be worse. I am very worried for them, but hopefully given they exceeded their $50k target, Steemit Inc gets their act together and realises there is a lot of good in the ecosystem, too much to stifle.
I am in the process of building a couple of dApps on Steem and these latest changes if they remain are seriously offputting. I understand resource credits are meant to compliment SMT's, but we're not getting SMT's for another six or so months.

hahaha... yes you just ate up 1/2 your daily RCs on that comment :) ... very good analysis and I completely agree. I hope they realize what a bullshit position it puts @steemmonsters in (along with the other apps as you mentioned). Matt quit his job to work full-time on steemmonsters, so I hope to hell they have a solution to quickly support that project. I too support them and participated in their Kickstarter, and frankly if they go, then I'd follow because I think its a helluva a good idea.
I'm not getting into the technical aspects of the RCs (I love your tax analogy), because I am a simple guy. If people that are average and ordinary can use it and have fun (and maybe earn a little too), then I'm confident it will be accepted. But if they have to use their mana to do things that most would think are free, then they will simply cease to do those things. Its a simple concept and I hope to hell these guys learn it sooner rather than later!

Hey @mightypanda! I think you meant to say no one at the top cares about steemit... I think many of the people that interact here everyday care and some of them actually make their living here too. But your point is taken, the people in charge don't view this anything more than a test or proof of concept. I will say that they better be careful what results they get now because they might prove something they didn't intend to!
And I don't think you are completely correct on the value of the steem price being only on the mechanics of the coin. If that were true, they sure do have a lot of infrastructure built up around it that will cease to exist (and thus not need steem). Its kinda like the US Dollar... It seems to have value until people don't need it for transactions any more. Maybe you're right and they think that way, I am willing to bet you they will pay a hefty price is they have that hubris in their minds though.

usability of a coin is a facade. This is true for most of the coin. Bitcoins are supposed to be used for payments, but no one uses them for payment. This is the early stage of DotCom boom. Most coin if not all will disappear.
All of steem infrastructure are necessary for the illusion of progress. It doesn't have to really work. See EOS. No products are built on it but its way more worth than steem.

I think your points are well made. The user experience will need to improve for those who can't do much now, or they will leave. My guess is, we're still in limbo until the 2.75 days are up on the voting power renewal, and then we'll see where the resource credits lie. Some people seem to be waiting until they're at 100% to do anything anyway, which depending on how many RCs they have may be the only thing they can do.
From what I can tell, there hasn't been any new user accounts made through the steem account since just before the hard fork took place, unless claiming accounts, which is what the steem account has been doing since Hard Fork 20, counts as account creation.

Thanks Glen for using your RCs and of course you are always good for it (and at it) :)
I think you are right about the 2.75 days and I was going to wait to make that point at that time (if it wasn't better). But then it dawned on me that maybe it won't be better, and I sure as hell want them working on a patch of some kind ASAP if its not going to be fixed. I can wait through it, but many people can't/won't... To me it will be a shame to lose them for a lack of solutions either being enacted (or explained)... I think many wouldn't jump to conclusions if they trusted the people at the top had it under control (and were given the straight scoop), but unfortunately I think the rollout of this thing took away a lot of that patience. Its ok... They can certainly solve even a poorly planned upgrade, but they will need to get out ahead of the issues and explain what the future will look like (and listen if people tell them something won't work).
As for the new accounts, thanks for the info... That's useful information and I imagine many numbers and metrics look horrible right now! Always good to talk with you Glen and thanks for using a few of your RCs again to reply!

Hey Cici... The way it will work is that you will have your own cards (that you can add to and play whenever you like)... But what I am doing is setting up accounts under the guild called Team Possible where people can play those cards too. So there will be an account there that will be set up with the cards you tell me you like and it will be a way for you to play the game with higher levels of cards. The winnings will be split with others, but you will still earn on it and have no investment. What I'm doing is bringing together all the different people that want to work together so that all of us can have fun and make it profitable for all.
It will be a great way in the beginning for you to learn and also probably earn more than you could on your own, plus it will be something that once you "understand the concept", you might also want to bring some friends too as well.

if that circle was going that probably means you didn't have enough RCs for it... so you can do it later... If you did it right then you will see his name underneath in green with a bolded circle next to it... (look under the line I have highlighted to see)

I've been reading a lot of different people's take on all of this and I agree that for now it's best to wait and see how things balance out in the next week or so. Here's hoping things balance out in favor of everyone and not just the privlaged few..

Well my voting power is fluctuating in a weird way, but I am now at full 100% RC. Now that the patch is apparently in place, I am posting a test comment to see how much it will cost me.

So far one upvote, one comment, and one reward claim cost me less than 5% of my total RC. Concidering I only have 26sp, I have to say so far the patch is a massive improvement. Though my voting power is back down to almost 0 when it should be around 68%.. I will definitely follow up, and keep you updated. :)

awesome... if you keep me informed as you do more that would be great... if you can use it freely at 26 sp, then I can shut up and go focus on other less negative things :D ... I was super worried they didn't understand the gravity of the situation, but if the patch works to reduce the downtime for legit minnow, then I'm happy and confident they heard the messages!

Ok lets see. Rep credits at 100% before post
Went down .20 % after the response to 99.80 The system seems silly to me. Why should I have a threshold on how much I post or how many times I reply.
They should be promoting more activity on the site not penalizing you for it.

these are valid points. steem has always been centered around whales (ned being the biggest one). it's not censorship-resistant nor decentralized as he's marketing it. right now it's just another facebook knockoff (in fact worse because now you have to pay to be active).
steemit inc better get their shit together and wake up if this platform were to ever hit mainstream.

You again said it perfectly... They are so far out of touch with this new vision that they have really turned some people off.... People are pretty tough and can work through many issues, but when you see something that looks unfixable, then people leave. Right now its not there, but if they stick with the logic of charging you to do something you want, then it won't take long.
Thanks for your comments! I appreciate hearing your thoughts :)

yes online platforms can crumble in days, if not SECONDS. but again, it's easy to be out of touch when you're the biggest stakeholder and everybody wants to suck your dick.

I'm commenting, not voting. You understand, I think. I really do thank you for putting a post up at all right now. I'm not.
The thing that really scares me about this post is that it sounds like you are planning an exit strategy for the first time since I've met you. If Steemit is close to losing DaveMcCoy then they are close to losing the whole freaking thing.
I'm going to ride this horse until I'm sure it's dead. But seeing a Mr. Steemit candidate on the edge frankly gives me the willies.
Thanks Dave. Let's hope the fix is very much sooner than later.

Hey @bigtom13! That's a very nice compliment you gave me, so thank you very much! I am also with you completely on them fixing it as soon as possible :D
Regarding whether I have an exit strategy, I think that is very perceptive on your part. I wouldn't leave lightly (as I have many friends here), so its not anything imminent for sure. But if they make it so that people that are small on this platform can't freely communicate and engage with others, then I will eventually leave for sure.
For you and anyone to know though, I will fight hard to change it first. I will do my best to help them to realize that making people "choose" whether to engage or not is counterproductive. I am actually concerned that they've gone too far here. So you are correctly seeing the worry come through. I do think they will fix it (if they want to be a social network), the question I have is will they fix it before most of my friends leave?
Thanks again @bigtom13... I really appreciate the respect. :)
Have a wonderful weekend and let's hope this gets fixed for sure!

The whole resource credit thing seems baffling to me - limiting what people can comment - sure it will reduce spam which is fantastic, but at the cost of serious Steemians being able to engage properly or being worried about how they will use their RCs. THere must be another way to fix this.

A nice captcha and a honeybot will get rid of the bots easily, manual spammers will continue as per normal, just slowed down along with everyone else at the same time. =\ If you want to stop a manual spammer, ban them, if they come back, track them down and literally kill them, that's what can be done.

I was on "they'll fix it if it doesn't work for people" before the fork. They haven't made decisions consistent with that position since the fork. I suppose they could always start, but I'm not feeling optimistic about that today.
