There's A Huge Dip In User Activity Since The Attack - Does That Mean The Single Steemit Post Is More Valuable?
Since the first DDoS attack a few days ago there has been a significant drop in new users signing up and existing users signing into the plattform and making comments as you can see in the charts to the daily statistics by @arcange.
I wonder, if this has an effect on the value of single posts, comments and curations of those who log-on to the blockchain anyway.
The Drop Is Quite Significant And Sets Steemit Several Months Back
the bottom chart: the orange line is comments; the blue one is articles
The charts are quite telling. Others in the article are less and show hardly or no changes. But the value for active users and daily comments is a lot but unimportant in the mechanics of steemit.
I am wondering therefore if this drop has consequences for the curation rewards and possible payouts for articles. In a regime with more or less a constant price pool fewer comments mean that every single comment becomes more valuable and the competition to get the most rewards for an article (or the curation of articles by others) becomes less intense.
By that logic, in a situation of "crisis" every steemit user takes away more than in good times.
I've had difficulties casting upvotes on some posts in the past few days. Once the upvote button is pressed, it just sits there without being confirmed. I would imagine that many other Steemians may be having similar issues.
Yes, I had that problem too including some cases where the post got sent but half of it was cut off. busy.org did work without problem.
REMEMBER THIS? THIS IS FOR DOWNVOTING INNOCENT NEWBIES JUST BECAUSE YOU AIN'T A MUSLIM!
@oluwoleolaide coincidentially i was writting about this and after posting i saw your message in the steemcleaners.
Proper use of the Down vote [FLAG] feature
This is not meant to you nor to @doodlebear.
I invite you both to read and to follow the link in there to the discussions about down voting in the other post to which it makes reference.
Please do not use it as a discrimination tool nor as a punishing tool
Lets all build a strong community, with no borders based on mutual respect and appreciation.
Bless you @nnnarvaez
It is a great thing to be a pacifist, all he ought to do was apologize to the lady and then we keep finding more abusive things this man had done to Africans and seems nobody cares to check him.
I hate discrimination
So much for the grown up Muslim. I guess that's then online-jihad or maybe digital enrichement.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself for even speaking up!
Go fuck yourself and leave me alone with your creepy goatfuck of an Ideology!
I hate Discrimination and an apology is needed
Go fuck yourself and leave me alone with your creepy goatfuck of an Ideology!
There is nothing like ideology. A simple I'm sorry can solve this.... I can tell you more flaggings are coming from notable steemians if you continue. Steemit is not a ground for discrimination. A simple apology is what you need.
I think you need more of that to understand my position:
Sounds interesting, will test.

STOPLess users doesn't necessarily mean more curation rewards.
For one, each user still has the same voting power, when they can vote.
If you have a higher voting power, then it still requires that more people with less voting power upvote the article after you in order to increase the overall rewards.
The STEEM Rewards Pool is filling up, even if people can't get to the site.
It is easy to test this by voting on your own article and determining whether or not you see an increase or decrease over the last 14 days.
Thanks for the elaboration. My voting power is not more than 1cent, so it's probably up to others to see.
I thought that Steem pool gets emptied daily? So even if you have little voting power, it should become more relative to the rest who is on the site..
No, it doesn't go back to 0, it was that it was getting emptied almost as quickly as it was being filled.
Yes, it is all relative to who upvotes in comparison to when you upvote.
can you give me a source where all the voting and payout details are outlined? was always too lazy too look it up.
There isn't one source.
You basically have to keep doing searches until you find a thread that explains it, but it has to be a thread after Hard Fork 19, because things changed a little bit then.
ok thx
Just for reference in the first graph of Active Users per Month, the October data point is for month-to-date ie only for part of the month (approx half now). That will rise as we approach month end.
thx that's an important aspect. It slipped my mind.
thnks for info doodlebear

New user signup could just be slowing down. Price of steem has decreased and isnt going back up. Whatever catalayst that spurred the growth has reached most of the people and we need a new way to expose people to steem. People have discovered multiple accounts isnt worth it.
