Steemit Inc, currently the most significant developer of the Steem blockchain development, recently, [launched hivemind](https://steemit.com/hivemind/@steemitblog/hivemind-is-live). This new development streamlines many of the blockchain’s processes, and dramatically decreases the cost of running a full Steem node. While it may be a little bit difficult for new devs on the blockchain to quickly grasp the new changes, one of our brilliant moderators quickly rose to the challenge and developed a REST API interface for this new technology. Many Steem devs have expressed their appreciation for this API. Consider checking it out.

Total payout: 204.82 STU
Number of votes: 843

@blockchainstudio is a regular contributor to the Bug-hunting category. His reports are usually accompanied with a possible fix or a PR which already fixed the bug. This is a very good practice, and we encourage all our bug-hunters to do the same. In this particular case, it is great to see that the PR got merged immediately to fix the issue. Consider checking his report. 

Total payout: 30.77 STU
