As you already know, when posting on the Steem blockchain, you can specify more than one beneficiary for that specific post rewards. This is how apps like busy.org, chainbb.com, dtube.com or eSteem are monetizing their activity. Every time you post using those apps, a small percentage of your rewards goes to their accounts.
The total number of beneficiaries for a post is now 8 and it is hard coded in the blockchain. Apparently, this number is becoming too small for some apps.
At least this is what I saw on this Github issue opened by @vandeberg, one of the Steem blockchain developers.
It seems to be a popular request, since Golos already implemented it, increasing this limit to 64.
I am supporting this change as this hard coded limit is way too small and, incidentally, it was the reason why I stopped the steem.city community project. In the initial design of steem.city, each community in a "neighborhood" should have had the rewards split across all their members following a few pre-defined schemes. Since there were only 8 beneficiaries allowed, that would have mean a neighborhood would have had only 8 members. Kinda odd.
In my opinion, the soft cap limit for beneficiaries should be raised to 256.
If you support this change and want it implemented in the next hard fork, leave a comment or go ahead and upvote the Github issue.
Steem on!

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
