These are some exciting and good updates, IMO.

motivate people to keep burning as they will win sooner or later if they do

The concept of a guaranteed win (eventually) is pretty inspiring. Also securing a win by burning the most is a great motivator!

ALIVEM worth the amount of ALIVE they have staked divided by 10, so 10%

I've been monitoring the ALIVE value of ALIVEM as it relates to the amount burned for the week. On the low end my ALIVEM reward is 6 - 8% of what I staked, on the high end it's usually 11 - 12%, and occasionally it has been as high as 20 - 30% for me.

Having the ALIVEM reward steady at 10% is more predictable and for some it will be a nice increase. I was averaging about 13% so it'll be a bit less now for me. Either way, it's a great incentive to stake and to grow and eventually those ALIVEM tokens will be valued at 40 HIVE each!

I will officially move it to Friday afternoon, my local time

I figured that was about to happen - as it should to lighten that Thursday workload. We will now be looking forward to #AliveOnFriday

there is now a space between the @ and the username

This will be a relief as I get soooo many notifications. !LOLZ !ALIVE !WINE
