4. Steem Telegram Fraud Prevention
Top 20 witness @therealwolf has posted a warning about fraudulent Telegram groups pretending to be official Steem channels - particularly those offering scam airdrops.
There is only one official Steem Telegram channel - https://t.me/steemnetwork ...
5. Steem Proposal System updates
The daily funding budget in the SPS currently stands at over 1250 SBD.
At the moment only about a sixth of that is being allocated with just two projects now receiving funding - @inertia for his documentation work (130 SBD/day), and @steemchiller (77 SBD/day) for Steemworld development.
The votes on the Return Proposal have now increased to 13.71 million SP pushing @howo's proposal down below the funding threshold...
Witness developer @emrebeyler, whose Public Hivemind Service project had yesterday been receiving funding, has decided to withdraw his proposal and return the funds received to @steem.dao...
Top 20 witness @thecryptodrive has put forward a 'consensus proposal' to the SPS for the power-down period to be reduced from 13 weeks to 4 weeks...
This is a consensus proposal to allow witnesses and stakeholders to vote on this change being implemented in the next HF, thereby recording their approval on-chain.
The proposed change is to reduce the current 13-week power down schedule to 4 weeks. The reason for selecting 4 weeks was to still provide some lockup protection within the 30-day account recovery period.
