Fellow Steemians,
the aftermath of HF20 had it's downsides, which included multiple days of downtime.
However, there are always two sides of a coin. And while the downtime had it's negative effects, there are also positive ones. Due to the downtime and some changes introduced by HF20, the reward pool of Steem has grown tremendously over the last few days.
If you're not aware what the reward pool is, imagine a big pizza that feeds every Steemian who is posting, voting, commenting and through that receiving rewards.
The bigger the pizza, the bigger the slice everyone gets. And well, the pizza grew from Big to XXL over the last few days.
That is the reason why we have currently so many votes available on Smartsteem.com. Everyones vote got stronger over the last few days.
And while we can't say for sure how long the reward pool will grow and when it will hit its peak, now is still a very good time to write posts and to promote them.
So, head over to Smartsteem.com, check out how many votes are available, write great posts and promote them!

I suppose the "inevitable question" is whether the rewards pool is getting larger because something in the core algorithm is adding more to it... or because there are simply fewer people posting and sharing than before... meaning it's filling at the same rate as before, but just being emptied more slowly?
Why does that matter? Well because I'd guess if overall usage has taken a steep nosedive as a result of HF.20 that's probably not the greatest thing for the overall community...

It is awesome that the reward pool has grown and everyone's vote has become stronger. Is this because of the general inactivity on the platform around the time of the HF? Thats the only explanation I was able to find. Basically inaction allowed the pool to grow. If anyone knows of other reasons that I;m missing I would appreciate the info. Just trying to understand things :)

Yes, I also wrote about this here: Why Has the Value of Your Steem Upvote Risen 60% in a Week?.
The main reason is the 5 days of inactivity for most people, or at least, 5 days below full power. However, we are coming up to 7 days past the point at which most users regained their power, so if the reward pool should continue to grow then we may be looking at a more general drop in activity.
This may not be such a bad thing if the activity that has dropped off is that which HF20 targeted.

Good evening @smartsteem
I've been using your services (upvoting) for some time already and I've been always satisfied with results.
Today I had my first painful experience, which seem to cost me some funds being lost. I've transferred 10 STEEM to your account and 2 minutes later I added another 20 steem. I waited then another few minutes to receive your upvote.
Unfortunatelly I only received upvote worth those 10 steem and my second transfer of 20 steem seem to be lost.
I'm not sure what could I possibly do to to receive back those funds. Hope you guys would be kind enough to look into my case.
Yours
Piotr

Hey piotr,
I've added 20 STEEM to your balance. The problem was that you made a bid and then made another bid for the same post. While we supported this in the past (e.g. 10 + 20 = 30 STEEM) we're not supporting it right now.
However, I'll make sure to implement it. Timeframe will be 2 days, meaning: in 2 days that feature should be available again.
Thank you for reaching out!

Thank you @therealwolf
I didn't know that you're not supporting this solution of adding extra.
Could you please let me know what does it mean? I checked my wallet and those 20 steem are not there.
I really appreciate your time.

Hello there. I have a special request to do.
I can see you are not allowing any kind of 'nsfw' content, which is perfectly understandable. The thing is we are a team of people(3 writers) whom created this account in order to talk/share/write about sex keeping our real life identities anonymous. So anytime we publish explicit content We will use the 'nsfw' tag so we won't use the smartsteem service to respect your ToS.
We do publish non explicit content when we talk about many other subjects without publishing any explicit images/videos. In this cases We would like to use the service but I can see, somehow, your software is checking the account name and relating our account name @sexosentido with 'nsfw' content. So it would be possible to use the service anytime we don't publish explicit content? Or your system is banning us just because of our name?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards & Steem On.
PS: Sexosentido means "sex sense". We are serious bloggers doing research about many subjects around sex and sexuality.
