Thanks for informing.
Steemit is improving absolutely.

I will support burning of rewards instead of sending money back to the pool, but if this is implemented, folks will no longer upvote any post with declined payment. So burning may not have a significant effect.


About new update, it is a good development.

Cool i was looking for that for long time

didn't saw this yet but looks great thanks for sharing this update

thanks alot for this update :) its very good we can switch our comment post rewards aswell!

Any idea why we no longer can see the view count on posts?  Seems like that is a loss to the UI for me.

Nice i see they also add the option for comments 
i must to start send PR about those stuff

You can easily  power up with the rewards  you get on steam,  instead  of collecting  half sp and half Sbd , you can easily  prefer 100% sp,. It's a great improvement , thanks  for sharing  @dragosroua

I do like the idea about the burn when the declined payout is chosen!
I discovered the changes yesterday! While I don't mind that they change things, I did not read about it anywhere, which is a pity. By moving it, they created a lot of fuss, because people were thinking that they would by default got the 100% Steem payout!
They also removed the option to automatically upvote your own post (don't mind because I normally don't use it) and the view count has also disappeared when looking at a post. This one I miss because it gives an immediate indication if votes were bought of not! Always strange to see a post with 50+ upvotes and you are the second one to view it! It feels like this change is to spread dust over the bot usage!

This new additions are good, especially where you get to set how the payout is going to be. Alot of work are been done on steemit. Cool

Is the general consensus still to keep posts at 50/50 and is that best for comments too @dragosroua? I've never understand the thinking behind this but went with 50/50 because everyone seemed to agree that was better. 😊

We use to be able to do the payout option from the post page. I'm pretty sure that's where I declined payout the three times I've done it. Now it's on the settings page, which I guess is fine, but instead of being able to set it from the post page, there's an extra step to it. Knowing my luck, if I ever used it for anything other the split payout option, and then didn't immediately change it back, I'd forget and end up with an unintended declined post.

As it is, I'm not sure how much I will be changing it, so it's okay. Just seems like a small step backward to me.

Quality of life updates actually mean higher quality overall, especially for a social media platform.

Happy to see the developers behind Steemit are working for the improvement of the whole ecosystem...Beta releases  tend to have bugs, software products constantly evolve as user needs change, and the Steemit team is dedicated enough to  improve the product from a usability, UX, and technical perspective. The end result would obviously be better product..

I never noticed this changes .its quite lovely that development is still going on steemit. Cheers!

Thanks for the information. If you can choose a special language, does it mean you will see for example only English posts?

wow. nice features added in steemit UI. Much needed offer to select your your reward options. I am little bit conscious how it will work (give reward) if we opt 100% Steem power. If the same mathematics is involved like 25% curation reward and 75 author reward. @dragosroua it is so nice of you if you explain it?. Thanks for sharing

What would help more people here is an **on board translator**.  I have one installed on my wordpress site, a Google translator I can use or hide.  

This would bring the community closer in my opinion.

Also you can directly upload your profile photo without having to use a third party app. Amazing.

Wow now you can change how your want your comment payouts to be done as well. 


Steem has just passed its 2nd year and with more people submitting fixes and UI and UX changes the better it is for the user.

You can also directly upload images for cover and profile pictures

Thank you for the info, will check out Settings.

resteem this post 👌

New facility for all steemians ..
 Day by day steemit developed for steemians .
Thanks for sharing such well update @dragosroua

Steemit is improving day by day..
Glad to see that 

Thanks for the useful information, you pay a rapt attention to the steem blockchain to see new development as fast as possible so that we are not in the dark or less informed.

That's a helpful change. I like the idea of having the option to burn your payout. It would be a simple way for whales to shift value back to the minnows.

That's a nice improvement, offering more options is always a good sign.
Thanks for the info.

This post is educative.  I will give the steemit.suppy a try.      Good job sir

Also the update removed the option to auto-vote the newly created posts:

Could this all be related to velocity?

I know the talk was altering the payout system somewhat to give more to the curators.

I noticed the update yesterday. At first I did not know where to find the payout options. I thought it could not be set again. 
Thanks for sharing

Absolutely rightly said we were in need of these improvements. Now we can choose easily how much payouts we want as SBD and how much to Steem power. That's a great introduction. Thanks for the info though

Its nice suggestion to send rewards to null for burning. ..overall impact will be positive. 
Plus one would have the satisfaction that he/she declined payout for something good.

Thnaks for this update. Some UI/UX improvements are much needed.
