Dear Steem-bountiers
today i just watched the Steemit popularity in Alexa rating site and you can see what is going on.
Here is the link where i got it: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/steemit.com
These days are really full of fighting after HF20 between who is getting benefit after this change (all users over 200SP) and who is getting trouble (pour users...).
Anyway the numbers are the main thing, now Steemit popularity is going down and down, why?
I try to interact with many people as it was possible with my RC and i ask them what about my possible solution about this RC trouble.
In my opinion if there is a reputation in Steemit should be used for something and i think this is the time to use it for recharge RC as another component with SP.
I do not mean reputation of UA-Steem, but i means which start from 25 when you get subscription.
So this is my question to all my Steem-bounty friends:
DO YOU THINK THAT RC COULD BE CALCULATED WITH SP AND REPUTATION?
I would like to say thank you to @bigdeej and @stellabelle for their support to us as super users, they keep up the soul of Steemit!
Pardon me, sir, but this is a very very silly idea.
REP has been so much discredited.
Or maybe you have never heard of H A E J I N ???

Having reputation is a component of RC isn't a bad idea but it then opens up a space for abuse because if im a large account I could just make alt accounts make a simple post, upvote it and drive my rep up and now have access to additional RC. We saw this with the whole byteball saga and we all know rep is a flawed system that why UA is being punted the way it is.
So perhaps it can be factored in but it should not have a large influence over the RC allocation

Dear @chekohler, thank you for your comment, i know there could be some liers but in front of a big problem we need to find the solution. Regarding UA i do not understand how it is working, the only thing i know is that i got more reputation in 2 week of power delegation to them than 9 months of daily use if Steemit, thats is free service or is a biz?

Well reputation doesn't mean much at the moment its more of a vanity metric than anything else. Like you could be a 60 by luck or you could be a 60+ because you worked hard or you bought upvotes, there is no way to differentiate between how you got there. Steem-UA is more an activity based model and looks at how you contribute to steem regularly and rewards you for it, its not really an alternative but a way to reward users and measure engagement between other active users

Well look at this:


This is my Smartsteem account and you can see there is my User Authority position since i started to give them 25SP and 25SP to Steem-UA 3 weeks ago.
Now my situation is:
So in 3 weeks i deserved almost what i got in 9 months?
I am not so sure...

The question would be:
Where is smartsteem pulling their data for the UA Score?
Is it being updated? If so, how often?
I would use the direct site from steem-ua to determine UA score. I have smartsteem on my personal account, and my ranking on the smartsteem site shows as 1 something. When steem-ua stopped by my post, my ranking showed as being around 3 something.
Going directly to the source with steem-ua is best, imo.

Dear @beeyou, i see it too, look at it:


But my real UA score is:
I think Smartsteem do not upgrade UA

Plain and simple: Many people just see the potential money the can earn here on Steemit and with the plummeting of STEEM, SBD and basically every Cryptocurrency these days those people are not really interested to post anymore (maybe this is good since those who are left are here for some other reason and the so called "shitposts" are declining.
Will end this with a phrase I often read here in the past and it is so true: "Come for the money, stay for the community"!!!

The reputation system is not perfect because it can be gamed by buying upvotes, but it is better than nothing.
I think the Steem-ua system is much better but it requires more testing

Better then nothing? I DON'T THINK SO.
Not at all.
Reputaion is meaningless. Just look who is at the TOP. That donkey !

Ant there is maybe 5-7 more in the TOP20, to whom I would never give a "reputable" tag
REP these days is nothing more than "how much one invests"

Hmmm does anybody have numbers for the RC cost of a vote, comment etc? I know that maaany ppl had big problems directly after the hf, me included, because the costs were very high and 2 days after the hf I could only do 2 votes and then I couldn't do shit.
But they multiplied the RC by 10 and atm I can't use up my RC.
So has anybody numbers so that we can have a look at how much a new user can interact here before he gets to take a pause?
I know that the spam bots had to stop with their "resteem service" spam and that's good. But do new people have enough RC to do 10 votes and some comments/posts per day?

Hmm I just took a look at the acc of an inactive friend of mine who has 1.6SP atm and he can do 2 comments or 12 votes with his RC. So a new acc has roughly 10 times that: 20 comments/120 votes until it's depleted.
Does it regenerate 20% per day? Because then a new person can only do 4 comments per day or 24 votes or something in between.

I think the popularity of steemit is getting a downtrends as the prices of the coins is in decay. But the prices will go up again and the popularity will grow in short time.

If you say COULD, my answer is yes
If you say SHOULD, my answer is no.
Here's how I see it. An increase in rep score comes from upvotes. And unless you're declining rewards, each upvote should give you some SP.
So those with high (organic) rep score should have acquired a bit of SP (if they don't power down).
On the other hand, if you decide to calculate RC based on rep score, then you could whitewashing on your hand. Spammer would simply use bid bots, power down their SP and use the liquid Steem for bid bots, again and again until it spirals out of control.
What I would suggest us that each new user has enough RC to make at least 5 posts and 100 comments daily.
That's my uniformed opinion though.
I'm not a tech guy

I'm inclined to avoid a reputation score as anything that matters, such as providing RC, because it's a flawed measurement with so many auto vote bots and systems in play. Just hard to trust that reputation score, and if it controlled RC, I think it would be abused/manipulated even more.

I think that's a good idea tbh. I would say it should be a small factor for RC like every 5 rep points you get an additional comment per day so abusing this feature is low reward but it would allow real users a bit more interaction.

Right now STEEM popularity is going towards Coinbase on an attempt to see our loved coin getting implemented on their site, allowing us to buy and sell.
Our current system that calculates reputation is questionable, so I don´t know if we can relly much on it.
