Social media platform Steemit is back up and running after having suffered from a bug in the curations reward curve, which attempted to retrieve trillions in Steem.
Steemit, a blogging and social networking website that uses its Steem blockchain-based rewards platform for publishers, took to Twitter today to announce to their fellow-Steemians that Steemit is back up and running and fully functional after having suffered from a bug in the curations reward curve.
Bug in the curations reward curve
According to a blog post from Sept. 3, Steemit is now fully operational again, as are all Steem applications leveraging their API. The chain halted over the weekend due to a bug in the curations reward curve, which was apparently unrelated to the previous halt or the so-called delegation bug.
Quick response to fix bug
The Steemit team was quick to develop a patch that did not necessitate a hardfork, but did require a replay of nodes that were used by steemit.com and other Steem applications like Steem Monsters.
