RE: Steemit.com and Nodes Operational

The bug was especially resistant to detection because the problem was not with the mathematics backing the curation reward curve, but subtleties in the integer based approximation of a square root. The bug was the result of a subtle behavior in the new curation rewards curve that lead to votes being able to have a curation reward weight of -1, which when stored in an unsigned field resulted in a computed value of 2^64 - 1.

Είναι ελληνικό για μένα!
But I'm grateful everything is working again. :)

after years of working.. they finally understood datatypes, impressive right?
Didn't they have to master high mathematics in order to graduate... like me? Well, I guess.. who cares, right? -_-#
