Much has been written about the upcoming hard fork. Most of the back and forth is due to the Economic Improvement Proposal, or EIP, which will make the following changes to the existing payout system:

• The author/curator split will go from 75/25 to 50/50.

• The payout out curve will go from linear to something called convergent linear—it starts out non-linear than goes linear at a certain point.

• Some free downvotes. A downvote pool is being created so that everyone will have free downvotes to give each day, thus leaving voting power for curation.

This HF21 is still in a testing phase, but 14 of the top 21 witnesses are already running 0.21.0 of STEEM. The conversion will take place in less than two weeks, barring some unforeseen non-consensus.

Now that there's been plenty of time to mull things over, to see how some of the EIP looks like, thanks to tokens and tribes on STEEM-Engine, what will you do when the hard fork hits? Will you stay or will you go? Something in between?

Feel free to elaborate on any answer you give.

I'm in it for the long haul. I'm going to keep possting, and hope for the best. (54.55%) 12 / 22 I'm waiting around to see what happens, and then make a decision. Too early to say otherwise. (18.18%) 4 / 22 Other (please elaborate). (13.64%) 3 / 22 Who cares about HF21? I want SMTs! (9.09%) 2 / 22 I'm going to concentrate more on curation, since I think I can make a go of it that way. (4.55%) 1 / 22
