Moving to hive

I totally agree with you, I have proposed a code iteration to make this all happen at blockchain level, but this next HF is only for SMT's and no room for added complexity, so we are at least a year away from any such fix. In the meantime we have to do band-aid stuff like this.

Voting minnows doesn’t fix the peg.. it helps distribution and if done correctly it could attract people to come here (combined with a good UI and ultimately a place people want to be).

“Give people money” generally doesn’t help anything longterm tbh.

That is super funny, voting for humour value but @justineh is right giving away money doesn't help the economy.

You could not be more wrong. That is the economy.
Creators create and users contribute and they get rewarded for it.
The more someone adds to the ecosystem, be that via quality content, offchain contributions, dev work, the more they get out of it and Steem is thus distributed into more hands which drives the economy further.

Its not "giving away money". That is a very misleading statement that doesnt describe what happens on Steem at all.

Calling Steem a place where "they give away money" is disingenuous and one of the stupidest things you can say.
...and that coming from a witness of all people.

Fixing the peg is a pretty stupid thing to think you can do.

Voting minnows has nothing to do with fixing the peg.

When whales do this stupid shit they are making a statement that they are more willing to waste Steem on pointless initiatives then distribute it to content creators.
The pump yesterday did more for bringing SBD close to 1 dollar then SBDpotato ever did.
Yet they pollute the trending page.

It seems like the trending page has always been flooded with steemit related posts in general, maybe anything steemit/steem related could have its own tab on trending that isn't the default view that everyone sees. A steem circle jerk is not the best way to present ourselves to the outside world.

According to his statement there would be only a weekly post summarizing the progress being made /if any...the moment the proposal started receiving funds from the SPS.

Yet posts keep popping up...not to mention those extra comments...for extra support...

EDIT: One moment is above the return proposal, the next one is below...Anyway...Trending is just a mess

Check the announce post https://steempeak.com/sbdpotato/@sbdpotato/sbd-potato-day-56-dao-proposal-funded-and-post-frequency-updates

Even though the proposal is funded there are many stakeholders that wish to accelerate fixing the peg with daily post rewards in addition to the SPS funding, however we need to be sensitive to users who don't want to see the posts on trending every day.

Thanks to the magic development work of witness @stoodkev we have managed to automate the daily posts to 4 smaller posts capped at $25 each so they do not show up on trending.

Unfortunately the cap doesn't keep it off trending the virtual value over and above the cap of the post is included in the trending page calculations.

We have reduced to two posts per day and requested stakeholders reduce their voting for it.

I don't care about SBD, they can completely remove it. I agree that trending page is trash. That's why I only visit hot page that looks a lot better.

$0.00

thecryptodrive (70) · 5 years ago

SBD can't be removed anytime soon as it is too ingrained into the blockchain code and this next HF has to focus on SMT's and can't afford to have complexities of any other changes. Another HF after that is at least a year away so we have to make do with what we can.

bosman (52) · 5 years ago

Yeah, I am aware of that. I just wish there are other ways to fix the Steem Dollar peg or to burn Steem other than spamming trending page. Something more technical away from the eyes of the Steemit visitors.

thecryptodrive (70) · 5 years ago

Have already reduced the post frequency and capped to $25 so votes will realise soon and adjust accordingly, so will be off the main part of trending mostly.

Meh, he and friends are probably waiting to sell their SBDs at a higher price at some point.

Nothing beats using the reward pool/DAO to pump and dump your own tokens.

When @thecryptodrive is involved, there's probably some slimy motive behind it. Look at the rest of his projects...

thecryptodrive (70) · 5 years ago

check my accounts I have about 1000 sbd in total, in any event the intention to fix the peg has been made very clear by this project so anyone who believes it will appreciate back to $1 can go ahead and purchase SBD at these discounted prices and turn a tidy 20-30% profit. My motivation is that I want the Steem price to appreciate and Steem to get back into a top 50 currency on CMC, SBD is easier to influence as it only has a 7 mil markcap, if we can get SBD to rise, Steem generally follows suit as history shows.

Weird. I wonder how you figured. And besides, it's not like people don't have alts around here.
