Unfortunately, I think this only temporary. HF20 gave people negative credits. So a huge number of people couldn't vote for five days. The rewards balance jumped up about 20%. It is currently 883,759. But it will drop as people start collecting rewards in this upcoming week.

The stats by archange shows that voting has recovered. Our temporary gain will be short lived.

BTW: I did managed to write one post during the HF20 catastrophe. It got over a dollar in upvotes.
