Currently you need a 7 SP account to make 1 comment a day and that is all that account can do. Before hardfork it was in the 1.5-3 SP range and easily make 2 comments an hour. I hope that those with larger RC holdings make more comments in order to drive the price down.
The witnesses applied a patch to fix the negative RC amounts people had, they basically airdropped enough RCs into the accounts to bring them to 0.
When they airdropped the RC tokens to everyone via patch they should have given everyone a bump to bring them above 0 to double or 3x the amount they gave out so that we could interact and burn them on the way down while driving the price of transactions down.
I was one of those afflicted with a 4 Quadrillion RC deficit that first day! 😂
Most folks are panicking thinking of a simple market system where more activity can only drive prices up, but the RC system is obviously a different beast in its allocation of blockchain resources.
I’m trying to make an effort to be especially active right now to do some small part in reaching equilibrium sooner.
very very good points here @thanksforplaying! I'm with you on doing something as simple as that!
