RE: How To Avoid Extortion By Costa Rican Authorities
howdy sir dandays! People paying the corrupt cops are definitely part of the problem, wow. That's unreal and if you were just visiting then ok, maybe once or twice to just get them to let you get on with your day but if you lived there and you were white and they tried to shake you down for the rest of your life??That would get old fast!
But you guys are exactly right to dust off your feet! There are many wonderful places out there for you to discover and it sure is going to be fun to see what you find.
What do you think of the new hardfork? I;ve read several posts about it, seems no one knows for sure if it will do what they want or if it will hurt the platform.
I'm glad to see this post is still generating, think of someone thinking of visiting there and how much hassle you can save them!
I’m just as guilty as most of us as far as paying attention to the hard fork specifics. Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the one that’s going to generate a downvote pool, correct? I don’t know what else is coming with the new fork but I think rewarding downvotes is a terrible idea and I hope it’s not the platforms demise.
Either I was wrong about the pay period or you got in at just the right time because this one is done now. Thanks again for taking the time to read it.
What do you think about the hard fork? Do you have a pros and cons?
And thank you, too, for being interested in our travels—that really means a lot.

Howdy again sir danday! who WOULDN'T be interested in your travels? That's my question. lol..my gosh what you guys are doing is the dream of so many people. Not mine that's for sure, but more normal people who don't tend toward hermit traits. I think it's an amazing grand experiment.
The big change coming on the hardfork is they're changing the pay distribution for authors getting 75% to just 50% and making curation 50% instead of 25%. They think that will force more people to look for and vote for good content. But so many people are saying that it won't work that way and like you said..creating a downvote pool most think is a horrible idea.
From what I've read no one has any idea if the changes they mean for good will work at all. They might have no affect or they might have damaging affects. But it has so many convinced that it's a terrible plan that they're powering down and leaving.
I think steemit will probably survive and eventually thrive but maybe that's IN SPITE of the leadership. It IS a little frustrating to read about other blockchains making brilliant moves and making astounding progress and then you look at steem and you wonder why they never make improvements to help the little accounts make it or to help the platform grow.
Each hardfork we've seen has made it much more difficult for the small accounts to grow. So once again I'm adopting a wait and see attitude to see if this hardfork actually improves the platform but I'm not holding my breath.
