What happened - why are all steemers having 0 dollars next to the upvote button?

in steemit •  8 years ago 

It is strange that most blogs of the people with many votes are worth 0 dollars on this moment.

Also the blogs I wrote yesterday are now worth 0,0 dollars

Does someone knows what happened?

Hardfork 18 happened today, which is like new version of Steemit with some changes. One of them is that post payout will be 7 days after it's been posted. These first seven or so days all posts will have lower payouts and they'll gradually rise to the amount they were at before the hardfork. After the initial 7-10 days everything should be normalized. Hope this helped a bit. :)

Something weird has happened I think - a blog post of mine that was worth $6 a few hours ago is now worth $0.05 !

Same weird things happened to me and a friend of mine had his first post here. He had 46 votes and 0,0 dollar.
