Do you think the 30 witness votes each steemian gets is the correct number, especially in light of the fact there are only 20 top witnesses to be seated?

Regarding this question, when you vote for multiple witnesses, the amount contributed to each goes down right? In this sense, perhaps there should be no limit to the number of witnesses you can vote for (as long as there is some mechanism to prevent spam or bloat attacks). I assume 30 was just a high number that the initial developers thought exceeded the number of recipients an account would actually want to vote for?

Can anyone confirm this?! I was un aware of this, if it is indeed the case.

The vote is not splitted! Every voted witness gets the full amount of votes. Doesn't matter if one or 30 witnesses were voted.

Ah that is an odd design decision. I will vote for more witnesses now.

Thanks for confirming the votes are not split.

I never heard about that, it would shock me to the bone (and I would have to delete quite a few votes then).

Was thinking the same

There is no vote splitting.

Code review and a separated testnet is not sufficient. The next HF should be tested on a mirrored (transaction are copied from the steem network) steem network with real data.

Agreed. The best test data is the actual transactions being created on the pre-hardfork chain. But isn't this difficult for hardforks that change the validity of transactions in such a way that they can't be replayed on the new code? Or are changes such as these rare?

I think that it is important that the costs of full node APIs are strongly reduced. Without fast full node APIs, nobody can use steem. When this succeeds, we can onboard more users without increasing the costs. The problem is that viewing old posts is quite costly, the post data cannot just be stored on a disc, they have to be partly stored in RAM, which is too expensive. I hope that steemit succeed in bring the down the costs.

This is the most important issue facing STEEM.

Wow I did not realize this. What has to be stored in RAM? Doesn't sound like a sustainable architecture as the blockchain grows.

Mostly the index of the database in order to be fast. Due to the huge blockchain data of two years, the indizes alone need a lot RAM. Then there is also cache. In the beginning of steem, this was not a problem. But now it is.
