Up voting doesn't work, had to upvote my post after 17 minutes, smartsteem should've done it after 5 min.

Claiming doesn't seem to work, I still have unclaimed steem engine tokens, but I'll keep an eye on this one for now

The claiming delay for Steem Engine tokens can be due to a delay on their end. And your account seems to be sending out the claiming transactions just fine: https://steemd.com/tx/97655dd889c0eac5e29952ea70f9350caa58a235
