No plan, we are "feature complete" for this hf meaning we are not adding anything to it and are in the testing phase before release. This is a change that needs a lot of discussion with the community and one with lots of economical implications and all this is out of the scope of that hard fork.

But were these issues not all discussed previously in our former reincarnation? There was a lot of support for the 4 week powerdown but it appears that the powers that be have decided against it or are there any plans for discussions to be re-opened?
From what I remember from the past discussions on the subject, there was strong support from both sides, so I assume this will still be a heated debate. And this fork wasn't really about controversial changes, it was mostly about optimizing, fixing bugs and rebranding. basically laying a strong foundation for us to grow on.
The next fork is likely to either be one with lots of economical changes so I would expect such a change to be discussed and perhaps implemented in that one.
Thank you :-) The thing that makes Hive great is that 'the people that matter' are a lot more approachable and transparent than before. Genuinely appreciated.
Sorry, but 4 weeks will never happen. Setting our distinguishing parameters to the same as STEEMs' is beyond stupid. You will never find a majority of big stake on that topic I guarantee it. Maybe we change to 10 weeks or 8 weeks some time in the future, but 4 weeks? Not gonna happen.
But why is it stupid? Is it not stupid to expect people to invest in an ecosystem where they can't trade their investment based on market moves? I think their are fundamental economic issues at stake here. If 'big stake' doesn't want to encourage investment from small fish then the whole eco-system becomes nothing more than a small, but profitable, protected investment club for a very few people.
Anyway. appreciate the reply and I will look forward to further discussion on the topic at a future, and more relevant date.
I understand this concern, but you can already trade your investment based on market moves. Nobody is forcing anybody to power everything up and HODL. If you plan on selling, you just need to plan ahead or always keep a percentage liquid. Powering down is nearly free at the moment. And I still like the idea of a 50% instant powerdown after paying a burning fee of 5% or sending the fee to the DHF.
Maybe 8 weeks powerdown is okay, so you can get out 50% in one month, but that is a discussion for a later date, as you already mentioned.
A big problem with 4 weeks (which was introduced by Sun) is that, if we adopted it, we would recognize and acknowledge that STEEM has something that we want, too. That's a big red flag for me. It basically says their "blockchain protocol" is not that bad so we want to adopt this part for HIVE, when in reality STEEM is nothing more than a centralized spreadsheet that cannot even be called a blockchain anymore.

Yeah I enjoy it a lot as well, info is no longer hidden behind a great wall of "sorry can't say, gotta ask my boss"
Thanks for the reply!
Looks as though its been 'forgotten' about and swept under the carpet.
