Steem Hardfork 0.23

The witnesses have decided to introduce a new Hardfork.

In their supporting post witness @dev.supporters states that Hardfork 0.23, codename New Steem, is designed to…

1 To enhance STEEM network stability and STEEM user experience

2 To protect STEEM stakeholders from malicious attacks

3 To protect STEEM stakeholders' property rights

One of the main purposes of the hardfork is to reduce the powerdown period from 13 weeks to 4 weeks, but it has other important aspects as well.

Full details about the hardfork are in this announcement post from @softfork22888…
