Hive Chain? I Might Love It, Here's My Wishlist... (this is a long one, but an important one)

If Steem forks there are three more features I'd like to see added:

Vote decay - only active accounts should have influence on the network.

Voting rewards - WAX is already doing this. Token holders should be rewarded for participating in governance.

Mechanism for protocol upgrades - similar to Tezos and Telos there should be a democratic process by which we can vote on upgrades to the chain itself.

My Thoughts:

Vote decay - only active accounts should have influence on the network

I don't fully agree with this. I think we should allow people to come & go as they please, and use the chain as they see fit ( for instance, perhaps they want their heavy-stake account to do witness voting, but they use a secondary account for blogging & commenting ).

Although, I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to a very small "decay", say instead of 1 full weight vote, accounts who aren't active for over 6 months get knocked to 0.75 weight vote?

Something small, perhaps... I don't know. This is an interesting idea! But I'm not sure where I stand on it currently.

Voting rewards

Agreed! I mentioned that in my post: "very small monthly reward for voting for all 10"

I think if you take the time to help govern the chain by voting for witnesses, you deserve an incentive. Of course, cons of this would be voting randomly just to earn rewards, but it'll need to be discussed more.

Mechanism for protocol upgrades

Another good idea. Technically our mechanism currently are the witnesses themselves ( ie, vote for who you believe has your best interest at heart ), but people's opinions can rapidly change so having each major upgrade go through some sort of voting / community-decision making would be very cool to see!


Thanks for your feedback :^)

Look, we need to get real: DPoS was just tested, and it failed. I'm sorry to say, but that's a fact.

as a matter of fact, DPoS was and is tested, and it works as intended.

edit: and go back to FB with your KYC bs

and it works as intended

It's a horrible governance system. Ask yourself this, what if the exchanges didn't pull back their votes? We would literally have zero possibility of getting any of our own back into the witness slots. Don't lie to yourself.

go back to FB with your KYC bs

I suggest you re-read how I think it should be implemented. I rallied against the dumb KYC of Voice, and I think KYC in general is garbage. My idea is for "lightweight KYC" ( literally just an email address & phone number, pretty standard & simple stuff ), AND, this is the most important part, all of this data is encrypted, anonymous, and private.

No human, no government, no program, nothing can decrypt & expose this data. Only the code can privately check against the encrypted hashes. This isn't really "KYC", as no personal data is ever kept with anyone.

Please, re-read that segment & understand that this would be just as private as what we have now.

Also, relax lol
