Happy 2 Months, biz_classic!

The time has come, fellow biz_classic voters and supporters! It is August 23rd, and today is the day the 100% promotional period was scheduled to end. We are extending it an extra ~72 hours for final testing and expect the new bracket system to commence at around Noon EST Saturday. For the majority of our voters, this change will not affect you in any way and you will continue to receive full payouts. For those who got in before we entered the the Top 51 and have sizable wallets, your payouts will decrease up to 10%.
While we’re implementing a lot of behind-the-scenes anti-hopping mechanisms, if you keep your ARK in the pool and don’t move it often, there will be no change to your payout shares. The payout schedule algorithm can be described with the following table, taken from the True Block Weight Whitepaper we recently submitted to the ACF. This is using 2,000 ARK as the average. At the time of writing, the actual current average is higher, and these numbers will continue to be tweaked in the coming weeks.

We’ve come a long way, and for those who have been around since the beginning, here’s an infographic to see how far we’ve come since entering the Top 51.
