    I see on steemd.com that there's this new thing called resource credits? Can you explain that at all, @movingman? I've been away for a long time, and it seems there have been quite a few changes. I really like the ones I've seen so far too!

    Resource credits are like bandwidth. It was reprogrammed and named in HF20 to try to curb abuse of SPAM accounts.

    Basically, it is a fancy way to limit how much people can spam on the blockchain in comparison to their SteemPower.

    To stop accounts with 0 stake from being able to generate tons of transactions.

    As a side effect it also stops some real users from being able to transact as well.

    I thank you for the information! If Jeremy has problems with bandwidth, I'll give him some of my SP as necessary. Since his written articles are so long at times, I am concerned he might run into the old bandwidth problems I had. @hilarski had to step in to help a brother out to get me up and rolling. Thanks again, Randy! I'll never forget how you helped me so much in the beginning.

    It looks like the same bandwidth we had before, but they just changed the name. Hmmm

    It probably is - maybe trying to rake in more people without using tech words.

      It is more than that... Part of a hard fork update

      Yeah, I thought that was nuts too. I really need to get my castle built, for I'll have plenty of space for my friends and their loved ones. People at my work and in my life see my content though, and they ridicule and mock me as well. Some of them fear me too because of it. I make them uncomfortable because of my strong beliefs. That's their fault though, not mine. I can't help that they are weak and close minded.

      I am no longer on Twitter and the others. I have an account on Facebook, but I don't check it unless my wife mentions sharing something I might want to see. The only place I'm putting my time into now is Steemit. Most people can't be away from social media for very long, and it seems to be very addictive. Is Steemit the same? I don't think it is. The place wasn't designed to keep your attention 24/7 and make you mindless. Here you have to actively look for what you want and participate!

      i have never once blogged anything on a social media site before here!

      I did use facebook for a few years before 2015 but then they asked me to do a KYC so i opened a new account. I lost lots of contacts from travels and photos but still better than to abide by the data mafia! I got a new one but then didnt use it so much and stopped using it a while ago, although you can only deactivate it and cant really delete it?!

      hahahah FaceCoin! Whats your thoughts on that bullshit then :P

        I despise facebook and think it is funny that they would try to do what Steem has done. It just isn't possible. One day soon facebook will be like Myspace and die a well deserved death.

          I heard something about a 'link tax'? Where sites like FB will have to pay taxes to post links up etc, which should crumble it to the ground :)
