You just fell victim to the world's most classic blunder!

Here's an interesting suggestion: Deny blocks to witnesses with more than 6 months without updating their price feed, no matter if they are active or not. Those below are Top50

Aaarrgghh! Avast Ye ole Seadogs! Fix them thar Dabloon feeds Ya Scurvy dogs Well things are getting better with the number of active nodes that have broken price feeds. Just three months ago we had a total

Just a quick update to the SteemFeed software. Thank you to @drakos to notifying me. steemd.steemit.com is now retired. As such you will need to either adjust your config's node setting, or update your

Following a few other witnesses, like @pharesim, @abit, @liberosist, @reggaemuffin I decided to slowly adjust my price feed bias, in an attempt to cope with the current SBD pumping. Right now I'm at 200%

The current value of SBD is now $0.97 and maybe lower on other exchanges. This means witnesses should take action. I have not adjusted my APR, but a few other witnesses have raised their APR. I have however,

Price Feed I have always manually updated my price feed, until now. I am a proponent of using the price feed to stabilize SBD, on both the high and low ends of the spectrum. I found that @pharesim's price

I'm sure that someone else has already started this discussion, but I thought I'd voice my opinions on this. I'm not a top 19 witness, but my voice can still be heard. Right now, SBD is trading at $1.5

Missed Blocks Due To Network Congestion Network congestion was the likely culprit for my witness node's latency over the weekend, which led to 11 missed blocks from Friday to Sunday. This is very unusual

I want to apologize for the lack of updates. I've had a tumultuous year so far away from Steemit. It has been challenging to say the least, but fortunately things are looking much better from here on out.

I am in agreement with the thoughts behind abit's comments With the same goals I will be adopting a similar but slightly different policy, where I do not set the bias automatically, but I will set a high

Since the market price of Steem Dollar is getting a bit unstable recently (chart link for reference), I've changed my price feed script to dynamically adjust the "discount/premium" according

I've updated to 0.18.1 (0.18.2 on some non-witness nodes). Congratulations to @sneak and the rest of the team on getting the release out and working with the community to reach consensus on the feature

Unfortunately, due to some strange issue in STEEM, many price feeds, including those of the top 19 are offline. This issue affects both my own feed script, as well as @Jesta's, and possibly many more.

I will be reducing my vote on SBD interest rate (APR) from 4% to 2.5% as of February 1 and reducing my account creation fee vote from 50 to 30, which is the current median. My price feed discount will

Current policy: Price feed set to 2% below observed market price Minimum account creation fee set to 20 STEEM which is currently worth ~$3. SBD interest rate at 2% Current, observed parameters: Real SBD

Current policy: Price feed set to 2% below observed market price Minimum account creation fee set to 35 STEEM which is currently worth ~ $6. Still trying to keep it in a range $5 - $10. SBD interest rate

Several witnesses have agreed to routinely make any necessary SBD interest rate updates at the beginning of each month and I have joined this agreement. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that everyone

So far everything seems to be running nicely after the hard fork. I am running a full node and I know I don't have to, but I think it something necessary if I want to learn the full aspect of Steemit and

Policy changes In preparation for the upcoming hard fork I have reduced my feed discount from 8% to 3%. Separately, I have reduced by SBD APR to from 8% to 6%. Background The fork will reduce conversion
