The pool is a lot bigger, prior to HF20 the pool was around 750K Steem, it has just broke 900K Steem.
But I was more saying, there is less fighting for the pool than there was before as a lot of spammers have almost no SP and thus now RC to spam. There is still a shit ton of spam though, just a bit less.
Since pool is bigger does that mean we are printing more STEEM now? isn't that unplanned inflation ?
No, we are set to print 64,000 steem/day, but we don't print that much.
