At the moment of writing (meaning with about 2 days before the scheduled date for HF 20), the top 21 witnesses have reached a super-majority, as you can see from this screenshot:
There are only 2 witnesses not yet on 0.20.2 (the latest steemd version), but knowing them for so long, I believe they are probably just replaying the blockchain right now and try to make sure there won't be any problems.
So, although we are seeing top 21 witnesses using the latest version it doesn't mean we running the latest version right now. The modification will be enforced on Tuesday, 25 September 2018 15:00:00 UTC (11:00:00 EDT).
Please be aware that some stuff will change on the blockchain, especially what we are now calling "bandwidth". It will be replaced by the new Resource Credit mechanism. I would suggest to keep an eye on the platform around the hardfork date and look out for potential mishaps.
I'm still traveling at the moment, but if I find some free time, I will try to make a more detailed post about what we can expect once HF 20 will be enforced.
Until then, let's enjoy the consensus. That's how all good things start: with consensus that we're all going in the same direction.

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
Great to see such a big consensus on top witnesses.

So the supermajority is running the hardfork 20 program but not running the hardfork 20. Uh huh lol

Yes. That's exactly how it is. Because the hardfork is set to happen, if there is a supermajority running the program on September 25th. Are you familiar with the concept of scheduling?

Good to hear they seem happy to go ahead with this. I expect Roeland is busy with Steemfest, but a witnesses work is never done :) It's time to move on and take the next step.

That's exciting! We've been waiting for this for a while. First HF20, then Hivemind and SMTs.
Have safe travels!

Letting for letting us know about this information about witnesses.
Do you know why bittrex and binance have closed steem deposit and withdrawl?

Because steem's price will be tested during the HF20 and they don't want any surprises...
PS I was just wandering since I think you are commenting very often in many posts, how come you NEVER upvote anything?

As far as the upvoting concern I have taken sp on lease and i am selling upvotes through the smart steem, and in the days of dip, it's difficult to make even the amount you paid for lease.

Regarding deposits: from a technical point of view, you need t replay / reindex the entire Steem blockchain for this upgrade, and this may take days. My hunch is that they simply suspended deposits until they are sure the upgrade is going well. Nothing about the price, IMHO.

You'll still be able to self-vote. However, the curation portion of whatever votes occur within the first 15 minutes will be returned to the rewards pool on a reverse auction basis. So if you vote (or self-vote) on a post at minute 0, 100% of that curation will be returned to the reward pool. If you vote at minute 8, approximately half of the curation reward will be returned to the reward pool. So in essence, if you have people who are voting on your posts early, it could be killing the curation for everyone else who follows. Depends on the size of their vote though.

only the self-voting curation is returned. if other people upvote you in the first 15 minutes it works the same as before (only the time window is slashed in half from 30 to 15 minutes).
Or at least this is what I understood

I hadn't heard there was a distinction between votes and self-votes. Thanks for the info though. Unless we helped develop the HF, I think most all of us are still trying to figure things out. :)
