Hello, dear Steemians!

The new hardfork 19 release date has been announced. The main change will impact the rewards curve.

The goal is for the rewards curve to become linear, so every user will have a say directly proportional to their stake. Also, each vote will value more, 4 X more. There will be no changes in regards to curation rewards.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers!

Just upvoted this post, guess how much money you get ... none :(

Things should get better for new joiners starting with June 20 - just a few days until then. Check your voting power as well.

I hope we wont experience the loss of accumulated rewards like at the last Fork, many many not happy at all.

Hopefully the rewards pool will not decrease as it happened in March. We shall see.

That would be very bad

There were some hard times - only a few cents for every post. Right now the increase is huge

It's really good

Thanks for sharing the date. Was wonderin' when... my votes will be worth more.

You're welcome! Most of us were waiting for this change to happen. I really hope it will work well for everyone:)

Thanks for sharing this crucial information, @alinabarbu

Is it better to power up during this time? Any thoughts on the matter?

You're welcome, @breakingtonight! Based on the info available, there won't be any changes in terms of curation, so powering up should be ok. The more you have, the more you will get from curation. I still have some question marks on the way the voting power will be impacted. Since a vote will be 4 times more powerfull, I guess the voting power will decrease 4 times faster. I do not know how the payouts for the opened posts will work when the change will happen. I intend to power up these days no matter what. I want to keep the steems for a longer period, so I'll earn more by doing this on the long term. However, I expect to see more fluctuations on steem price with this upcoming hard fork, hence I will keep the amounts earned these days in SBD.

Thanks so much for your comprehensive research report on all the latest hardfork news. I appreciate your efforts and study! You're a very intelligent person and we all thank you for keeping us up to date on what you understand. I wish you well on everything moving forward!

It'll be in interesting to see how this works out.

Just a few days until then. I'm curious about it too.

will this inflate the coin? i'm just concerned that more coins from rewards = steem losing value

The number of coins is influenced by the level of mining, not by the upvoting/curation power. The price of steem is in line with supply/demand factors. However, such changes could have an impact on the short term for steem price depending on how the market reacts to them.
