RobinHoodWhale

I am working to revive the RobinHoodWhale project. We are expanding the curation team, and implementing a new set of policies and procedures that will make the effort more effective.

Preparing for the Fork

I'm generally supportive of the new changes that will be enshrined by Hard Fork 16... with a couple of caveats. I think that the reduction in power down time is far too severe. I would prefer this particular change be phased in over a period of a couple months. The impact of a possible sell off could permanently cripple SBD due to the haircut at 10% (not to mention the fact that a sell off would represent a huge amount of lost equity). And I think the sheer number of major changes is far too large. It's hard to predict the effects of all the changes, and it will even be difficult to determine the causes of those effects. We are experimenting with too many variables and not enough controls... But on balance, the changes do need to happen (particularly the reduction in the inflation rate).

And the boring stuff...

SBD Interest Rate: Unchanged at 15%. I am happy with the results since witnesses raised APR.
SBD Discount: Unchanged at No Discount.
