Steemit's Weekly Scoop

This week hasn't been that noisy compared to the first edition but here goes the top 2 breaking news stories:

STEEM and SBD Down to Less Than 1 USD

Steemians are redeeming STEEM and SP rewards. No more printing SBDs for now. When STEEM market cap goes up and the debt ratio goes below 2% (9 to 10% when HF20 is in effect). Then we'll see SBD rewards again.

Check out Hive account@themarkymark's post for more details. Guess who owns the most SBD?

What are you excited about the HF20 changes?

Now you (curator) can vote at 15mins. Self-voting at 0 min goes to the reward pool NOT the author. So self-vote at 15 mins?
You can now comment every 3 seconds. Yeah, spammers can too.

Hive account@pirateofthedtube found a Microworker's Job Request that might be why the Steemit Defense League keeps on having new accounts downvoting/flagging posts. The employer is from India.

This is not the first time we've seen such finding. Hive account@nathen007 also found other Microworker Jobs buying Steemit accounts. The other employers are from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
