Right now there is consensus amongst the witnesses and the hard fork will take place tomorrow.
For me it's the most important update to the blockchain since I got here.
It's the first step into the new direction of Steem.
With easy signups and the new resource credit system it will become the easiest to use freemium blockchain in the world.
And it's just the first step.
After the successful hard fork all the focus can go to SMT's and communities.
In 6 months SMT's will complete the whole Steem blockchain package that can be advertised and promoted to the world as product that you want to use or implement into your community or application.
All of it driven by STEEM.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am part of witness
