What if STEEM POWER wouldn't increase your power?

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

What I mean is, what would be the difference exactly? If you have both direct investment and curation for money based on what was previously invested, then that's the way Steem already operates isn't it?

The one thing I find that you would have removed is self upvoting I guess.

Perhaps though, there is currently money given directly out of the pool that I don't know about and that's what you're trying to shut down?

Thanks for answering questions.

The difference is that in my proposal STEEM POWER doesn't influence your stake in the reward pool. So effectively with 1 million SP you still have the same upvote power as someone with 1 SP (at least by default). The way to increase that influence is to curate well. Curation rewards are amplified by SP, influence isn't. Does that clarify it?

Ah I see. That made it a whole lot clearer. But then having many sockpuppet accounts might make more sense if I wanted to have more vote influence. I might still use the money I make to buy votes even.

Multi-accounting is indeed one of the biggest problems right now and i don't know if we can solve it without solving the identity problem.

My proposed implementation does already counter it somewhat by requiring a proper curation strategy to increase influence. So if you are bad at curating all your accounts go way down in influence. But yeah it's not even close to perfect.

P.S.: Do you know why @good-karma and 7 others voted on your comment?

Good point.

Yes, it's not because my comment was so damn good lol it's encouragement votes for using the eSteem app. 😃

WTF? Do you get free money from that botnet if you use that app?

Yep 100% if you make longer and coherent comments. I'm surprised so few have caught on to it. (Ofc I'm mostly not on my phone, so I don't always get votes)

ChainBB has users upvoting comments too. Busy not so far. It's been very publicly announced, so no secret.

WHAT THE FUCK?

Haha dafck indeed. How anyone is still only using Steemit is a mystery.I mean when I try to it's usually slow/down.

Busy is usually up. ChainBB is super fast and stable. eSteem keeps getting better even on slow phones. Steemit still looks and feels the same retro way as close to a year ago.

But yeah... you get upvotes too
