You mean by Steem account isn't worth $296,564,412,029.54? Rats... lol.

If the debt ratio stays below 10% would it be a plausible strategy to buy SBD on Bittrex and then use the conversion method to convert to STEEM effectively ending up with more STEEM than would be earned if the same amount of fiat money was directly used to purchase more STEEM?   Or is the pricing and everything in too much flux that it would be too risky to attempt this?

> The way this is done is by adjusting the price feed provided by witnesses so that the system assumes STEEM is worth a bit more than it is when performing internal calculations.

Is this actually being done?  I thought you were against the idea of doing this?

Hi @smooth

I've been following you for quite sometime already and I just checked your profile to see if you posted lately anything interesting related to crypto (as we seem to share similar passion towards blockchain etc). Just to realize that you didnt publish anything in a long time.

Hope you didn't abandon Steemit as many others did recently? :(

Yours
Piotr

Thanks for filling in some details about this strange *(though fortunately mostly harmless)* occurrence.

Thanks for letting us know,...

Nice, Im happy to hear the issue is being adressed or at least taken note of, thanks @smooth and @eonwarped and @timcliff, hope you can fix it...

Hi, I have noticed you are voting for the witness @klye that has been inactive for over 1 month, maybe could you consider changing the vote for me, @igormuba,  as I am a new and active witness? Thank you, hope you can support my campaign

Thank you very much for your explanation.

the price of SBD has in the past changed much more of a % in a shorter time
why did this only happen now?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for the information. I sure am hoping all these bugs get taken care of soon. I have faith in the steemit fixers. 
Love

I was wondering what was happening so thank you for clearing things up 👍🏻

Buenos día amigo , me encanta tu blog. saludos

Smooth, the median is used in some calculations. So that's not really true.

Example, to calculate the Debt Ratio, the median is used.

We have a Debt Ratio of 10% now, what does this mean?

Will the median price flip/flop from the old median based on exchange rates to the new median based on market cap? Back and forth?

resteemed so I dont have to keep explaining to people, thanks!

I'm enjoying calling myself a #cryptobillionaire! ;)

The system wasn't designed with such a fast drop in price in mind, I guess.

So I don't really have 20 billion dollars coming?  *sigh* back to work then

I thought I won some kind of Steemit or PCH Lottery...Bummer...

Back to posting/commenting then ...
