Whales - Can the community buy out a portion of your influence?

Decreasing the threshold and set it in dollars can make counterbalancing the initiatives to be much harder.
Basically this proposal splits SP into two different kinds of assets with different initiatives to hold - this adds complexity and changes economics.
I think we need to wait until guilds and votes delegation are implemented and see if this solves the problem, if not this proposal can be revisited.

I agree. Sounds good.

There are two separate proposals that have been discussed too (besides the buying out of whale SP)

  • Elimination of curation rewards
  • Change of the vote formula from n^2 to a less exponential formula (like n log(n))

I think both of those ideas would be good to consider, and could be done before the delegation and guild changes.

I would support both.

Even I am a newbie with no complete understanding i thing that might be a good idea too @val-a @timcliff - just matters we all work together for the sake of platform success

Hi @val-a, we spoke a month ago about a Steem Power delegation/rental deal, and I'd like to move forward with it if you're interested. I'm in the market for about 200,000 SP, possibly more. Let me know if you want to discuss this - you can email me at philip.brown (at) gatech (dot) edu.

What delegation and guilds changes are you refering to?

Not sure what I am supposed to be reading via this thread? I think guilds are not scalable and too complexe for the average joe, and so they are a waste of time. And voting delegation, is this a new feature or?

Discussed on Steemit Chat.
Note sure what to expect yet as far as guilds. We'll have to wait and see.
Vote delegation is a proposed change in the next HF (GitHub Issue 818).
