Witness Update + a Contest?

Long story short, I personally went through 4 (yes four) different patches this past week (8 in the last 3 weeks) on top of having to learn a new system. Add that to the freeze from the premature forking problems and I missed a few blocks. Was extremely frustrating. The good news is, RC (resource credits) are going to be a good thing as it will limit newer accounts from spamming those crappy 'nice post' and 'upvote me i follow upvote you' comments. Quality will be nurtured. I haven't noticed a significant difference in Mana vs. VP since I 'recharged', so no worries there from what I can tell. So hopefully, the dedicated have remained and are happy with the changes.

Aside from the horrid terrible twos toddler growing pains of the RCs and Mana, there have been other upgrades to the chain people may have overlooked. One major one is the curation time has been cut back to 15 minutes vs 30. Remember that annoying thing where we had to wait 20 seconds to comment again? That's been removed, comment to your hearts content! Revoked delegations will be returned in 5 days instead of 7. You can upvote and downvote posts and comments right up until payout now. Sound good to you?

All in good fun. See how it goes. If you would, please pass this around - resteem and such - and I'll decide on a winner come next Monday evening. I have a lot of good ideas in my head already lol! But, hope you all enjoy the contest!! STeeM oN my peoples and REMEMBER TO BE YOU!
