I just gave aliveandmmb a vote on the witness list. I am looking forward to the day when you start verifying blocks.
Personally, I think the HBD interest should be zero. HBD derives its value from HIVE. HBD is a derivative and derivatives are dangerous.
It appears to me that the interest on HBD has been pushing down the value of HIVE and all of the coins on #hive-engine since we raised the interest rate to 20%. 15% and 12% are still too high.
The conversion functions and HBD stabilization funds are sufficient to maintain the dollar peg.
Good luck on the witness node.
