Temporarily Reduced Payouts

You might have noticed something a bit odd on the trending page! As you may or may not know as part of the recent hardforks some changes were made to the way the Steem algorithm will be distributing payouts. One of those changes is to use a 30 day moving average to determine how much Steem should be distributed daily in order to make the rewards more stable and enable users to more reliably predict the amount of rewards they can earn on a day-to-day basis. One consequence of this is that as the protocol switches over to this system today (the beginning of the 30-day period) rewards will be unusually low for the next couple of days. However, don’t fret, this is temporary and rewards will steadily increase as the system reaches equilibrium. This is a one-time event as a consequence of switching to this more stable system. We appreciate your patience.
