What a crazy week that was, the steem blockchain was [halted for almost half a day](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-status-100-operational) due to a small code conflict with the new HF20 code. Apparently the issues have been fixed and the final activation of the HardFork on the network is still scheduled for the coming Tuesday. I'm excited to see that come around. One thing that will change is the SBD print rate coming back up to 100%. The [SBD-debt-ratio currently stands at 7.1%](http://www.steemreports.com/steem-sbd-reserve-position/), that's well below 9%, so if nothing super drastic happens on the markets we'll get liquid SBD back for the next issue of the award already. But regardless of the SBD shortage resolving itself with HF20, as outlined in [last week's award](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@googlyeyes/googlyprize-this-week-s-winners-issue-no-58) we'll make sure to have permanent "cash" prizes available to our winners by treating any liquid rewards as such. That means we'll no longer add the liquid STEEM to the delegation pool but instead treat it similar to what we've been doing with the SBD-cash-pool. I've toyed with the idea of including some @steembasicincome shares with the prize scheme to encourage long term investment in the platform, but I am still not fully convinced about the idea of using the community funds for such a scheme. Luckily the recent [Balance Sheet post](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@googlyeyes/googlyprize-prize-pool-balance-sheet-transparency-for-a-104-21-fair-contest) has been upvoted very generously, so we have some extra cash to spend and that means we'll again give an SBI share to each winner today as a bonus prize again. **100% of SP rewards are going into the delegation pool, 100% of STEEM rewards are going into the liquid prize pool, SBI shares are sponsored as a bonus prize. Enjoy!** I welcome your feedback on the matter! Does it make sense to use the community funds for SBI shares in the longer term or should we stick with just paying out the STEEM to the winners directly?

Endorsed by three judges, the GIF that's only reachable through a link in the comment section of the original post gave it the edge over hazel to land on a 2nd rank today.* # 🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇 @kaerpediem with ["The Bawler"](https://steemit.com/googlyeyes/@kaerpediem/googlyeyes-starring-the-bawler) [![The Bawler by @kaerpediem](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaaff4ipKyi8TkjT79UQVMbwNEGwcczpYMkhpbpoaoRDH/image.png)](https://steemit.com/googlyeyes/@kaerpediem/googlyeyes-starring-the-bawler) *What can I say, @kaerpediem's amusing googly poems are taking this show by storm.

We're doing the usual 50/30/20 split.}
