Steemit's Weekly Scoop
Did the hard fork happen yet? Hopefully last Monday's chaos is not a sign of things to come.
But there's 2 more days before September 25 for the real HF20, aka Velocity.

No, we're not talking about what STEEM charts are doing at CoinMarketCap.
Witnesses had a rough day Monday, so did Steemit Inc devs. Discord servers were in uproar then got quiet after waiting for a long time for the blockchain to be back up.
There's been talks of secret Slack channel for the elite witnesses during the outage and so much more drama happened. Well, your wallet is safe so we're all good.
Here's the list of top 20 witnesses running version 20. Just 3 are on version 19. I'd say it's a go for HF20.
Scam ALERT - The Key To Your Wallet

@arcange has a dandy script warning you of phishing links comments. After the outage, Steemit was unstable while witnesses were getting their nodes up and running.
Please keep your owner key stashed, don't use it to login except to change your password.
Keep your wallet away from phishers. Use a password manager and for that, here's a sound advise from @themarkymark.
*And if you're looking for community-minded witnesses, check out what these two witnesses are contributing. Do your own research!
Quick Account Recovery Is Possible
It was shock to the blockchain when a phisher got a hold of surfermarly's account.
Three hours after the incident, the real @surfermarly is back in control of her Steemit account.
Phishing incidents are disheartening but it doesn't excuse your post from getting some drama on the comments.
Livestream With Vimm.TV

@Vimm is in it's early stages but Steemians are now moving to a new livestreaming service. @Chibera is supporting VimmTV so it's worth checking them out.
If you don't know it yet, DLive is moving to another blockchain.
Post is zero'ed out but worth looking into the comments.

Look at some amazing numbers of accounts transacting (or not transacting) since 2017. Thanks to @paulag (of @steemcommunity witness) for putting the data together and the analysis that went with it.
How is this going to affect the discounted account creation after HF20? And with this in mind, @guiltyparties' released a version of their account creation service.

It's not a singing contest so put that microphone down.
Here's a quick summary of what you need to do to join and win the contest.
Just try to create a piece of music that you think would be fitting when you enter combat in MMORPG.
Ready for combat? Get your gears going and win the music battle.
