# HF20 is live and movin'
<br>

Hey steemians, how do you feel after HF20?
There are so many complaints now about the recent blackout, and the incompetence of the witnesses. While many statements seem to be true, I don't think these complaints is a very productive route. No doubt witnesses and dev's see very well themselves, how things went quite a bit different from what they expected. Fork is done, and we have to live with this now.

## Changes are inevitable 
It seems to me that we all will have to modify our habits quite a bit now, to remain maximum efective here, under new rules. And besides the old VP, we all got one more important metric to care about, and to use wiselly - the **MANA** (RC)

## Do you understand your ***MANA*** dynamics ?

Possibly it is a bit early to make deep research yet, things may be still under heavy mutation in the next 5-7 days. But it is crucial to understand as good as possible, what influences your **MANA** (hence - your transaction effectiveness).
I have not found yet any detailed explanation, hows much **MANA** is changing from our every move on Steemit.
But everyone can monitor his own status, and his **MANA/RC** resources. There is at least three places where you can do this (if you know more - please share with us): 
1- https://steemd.com  
2- https://steemworld.org 
3- *SteemPlus* [browser extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/steemplus/mjbkjgcplmaneajhcbegoffkedeankaj)

## My small research
I have made 3 simple transactions (claimed my rewards, resteemed, upvoted and commented), while monitoring my status on [steemd.com.](https://steemd.com )
For easy of analysis, each time a move was made, I immediately have made a screenshot, so I could have all the figures for a later comparisons, calculations and considerations.
I thought maybe it can be useful (in some degree) even for others, what my results were. So I have put now all  my screenshots on a single, albeit large drawing. Here it is:

Sorry it came out in a bit weird fashion (not straight left-to-right). But I have put additional labels and comments, so hopefully you can understand where is what
* State 0 - my initial state
* State 1 - state after reward claim been done
* State 2 - state after 1 full VP upvote been done
* State 3 - state after 1 short text comment been done

It is quite clear that every move now cost us some MANA (I was going to say here "money", but this probably is missleading, and not a good idea)  :)

While careful and responsible steemians can live with these new rules just fine, I have no doubt this will lead us to reduced amount of short, useless and meaningless comments (SPAM), as well as even abusive exploitation of countless bots and ingenious reward pool rapist's. Which all together, is good for the future of Steemit. 

What do you think? 
Are we on the way to bright future of STEEM?

All you comments will be so interesting to hear.
