Man @blocksec , I respect your gut to write something bad about transisto because nobody dares to do that, because he has army of bots with lots of stake?

And @transisto you really cares about the platform like you/or your nearer one say, you wouldn't do the same thing like #rewardpoolrape that he pretends to fight with. may be it's for good cause but your actions never reflects any goodness, instead it's spreading wrong message to any new user here.

you often downvote others and self vote your few word's comment to hundreds of dollor and you still talk about rewardpoolrape
You complain other posts being worthless/shit/short bla bla and downvote them for getting too much reward but do not hesitate to post a or two lines post and take reward more than 200SBD.
and so on..

I have no hard feeling on these things. My only concern is what message do we user can get seeing such actions from a user who seems to be working for the goodness of the community. If we see from surface it seems like user like you,, bernie (and some other on the list) are the one who are raping and draining the reward pool....
on steemit you know nobody listen to minnows and we are just sheep in your eyes if we contrary , nobody try to respect some honest complements instead they try to prove you wrong from every point possible.

You blamed this whole post as a distraction, I can see this comment as a distraction to the audience from this post/thread.lol

yes i feel the same way, I might be wrong too that's the reason I started this discussion with him, I wasn't simply convinced answers from others, now i don't even trust witness because they are always on the side of whale, afterall they also wants that Big witness vote, we regular users are just puppets for them.

Sending money to these bots is also financially supporting for-profit spammers.

Anyone who is genuine about promoting their posts will not use bots after 2 days. Posts move off the hot list in less than a day and many posts rarely make 3 days on the trending list. @boomerang and @booster have the right idea with 2.5 days. I recommend that Grumpy Compliance should be adjusted accordingly.

There is another problem of people posting 2 minutes before a bot bidding session expires and then bidding on a bot to bring the max bid below zero. The last minute bidder gains (no curation payout) while all those that voted earlier lose out. This is abuse of the bots and something Grumpy Compliance should also address.

I strongly believe Grumpy Compliance is in need of updating. I hope you take these points into consideration.

I’m just sticking by my remarks on the @sweetsssj post, regardless of whether the accusations are true, abuse won’t be able to happen on such a massive scale if we were to have a more evenly distributed reward pool.

Then the majority of steemit could decide who to believe based on the actions of the accused and what they think the user brings to the community rather than a few powerful accounts using their influence to decide who is in the wrong.

Until then, have fun making hundreds on your posts calling each other out while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. You should all be sharing your upvotes with the thousands of users who believe thatcif they keepcputting their heart into steemit, they will eventually grow to a substantial size and see the same success you have had.

@zer0hedge is not claiming credit for the content so it's not plagiarism by definition. It's also giving proper credit by linking to sources on the first line and also having a disclaimer.

I've an agreement with the person running @ze0hedge.

The purpose of the agreement is to:
A. Contribute to Steem what I believe is some of the most important and valuable content on the internet.
B. Reward people that contribute interesting comments to the subjects.

I usually up-vote all blockchain investigative work but will abstain since your accusation of ; fraud, id theft, plagiarism, ect. are not substantiated.

It wasn't until about 4 months ago that @zer0hedge even put a disclaimer up admitting it wasn't actually "Tyler Durden".

It looks like he was first called out on it here.

He attempted to 'do the right thing', I guess, by refusing rewards for a couple of posts here and here and here by leading with:

Reward temporarily declined while I draft a more accurate and complete disclaimer.

Funny enough, he said he was shutting down rewards in this post but a 'button misclick' still earned him payouts, I guess.

He even re-steemed a supporter who supports his copy/pasta here though the supporter notes that it's just because he's too lazy to go over to zerohedge.com website and likes to see the content here. There's no discussion of the reward pool that @zer0hedge is scraping.

Maybe it's time for me to go start a new account "@playboy" and start pulling all of their content over to steemit. I mean, as long as I give them a source link and give them credit, right?

Is it good enough for you that he has a disclaimer or not? Not so liberty are you.

Having him post actually increases interactions and reading on this platform. Zerohedge have hardly been harmed by it. (even if they may disagree) I've checked Zerohedge more often since I started seeing the @zer0hedge posts from time to time.

$0.00

libertylol (59) · 7 years ago

‘Liberty’? Not sure what you think liberty is.

Here’s logic for you to follow.

Having him post stolen content DOES increase interaction on Steemit. You are correct.

But it also exposes the entire Steemit Domain to be taken down. All it would take is ZeroHedge.com to realize their content has banked some internet loser almost $140,000 in the last year alone.

This is how much THEY could have made by doing the same. And they are the content owners.

Think they’d mind? Quite the risk to the rest of us just because YOU don’t care.

It’s simple enough for them to file a DMCA Takedown notice.

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a United States copyright law focused on digital mediums that helps content owners get their stolen content removed in a fast and efficient manner.

The second party injured here is the rest of the rewards pool. He’s soaked $140,000 out of the rest of us. If you read the white paper, that’s $140,000 that would have been awarded out to everyone else.

the-ego-is-you (59) · 7 years ago

That's the thing though... Steem still can't be taken down. We shouldn't be dependant on Steemit.

$0.00

libertylol (59) · 7 years ago

agreed, no bog down.

The content is well-distributed, the domain "Steemit.com" could be taken down though. If the domain comes down, the content would have to continually be mirrored around to other domains. Then those would get taken down.

It would definitely lower the platform's legitimacy.

Not sure if you remember but piratebay.org used to do a lot.

Transisto thanks for commenting. I like you, Ive followed you for a long time. I do agree adding pictures and formatting does take some time and whoever is running zer0hedge is doing that. Its true.. How much is it worth to format a post that was researched and created by someone else? Taking into account the content based vs contribution based post you made a while back. Its been a while since I read that post, but I remember it. It was good. It basically said that low quality authors are getting too much, is not formatting other companies articles kind of low quality? What is zer0hedge adding? how does it benefit from being on a censorship resistant blockchain? How many people invested because of zero hedges copied articles? What efforts has zerohedge done to promote the copied articles outside of steemit? What kind of contributions does zerohedge think he gets by people who join the blockchain because of him? A large amount of people copy pasting articles into Steemit because they see others making 100's doing it.

What is your response to him saying that zerohedge made a post, deleted it. Then 1 minute later it was posted by your Transisto account? Was your friend at your house posting zero hedge articles and forgot to sign out and you just posted a comment without checking? I can't say one way or the other.. but to the outsider (like me) it looks like Transisto and Zer0hedge must be the same person when that happens. it looks like Transisto wanted to comment on something, forgot he was signed into his alt account Zer0hedge when he commented. Deleted comment. Signed out and into main account. Made the same comment. Thats what it looks like to the outside observer at this moment.

If it were true that just sucks. I like you and I like your posts. You make a good amount from them, they are good and you deserve to. Zer0hedge on the other hand... I dont know. What do you think taking into account your contribution vs content thoughts..?

Could @transito be working with this news site or could he possibly be an owner of said news site? It doesn’t sound like @ZeroHedge is hiding the affiliation so this might be a case of uploading the same content in multiple locations rather than an actual copyright violation.

I think the reward pool distribution needs a reform. Some little changes needs to be done with immediate effect.
At least the varification is one of the best reform. Make sure a person must have one account. Also the transaction process like bid bot needs to have some rules.
Vote share should have some percentage dedicated to steemit. Best content should have some appropriation from top whales.
I am not technically so sound but what I want to say service must get some share. If a person contributes six hours of his time to steemit at least he should get the reward of 2-3 SBD.
Hope I didn't offend anyone.

in my opinion (maybe I can have it without being downvoted totally) steemit seams as a place for the "rich" if one is rich, ones content is the best on steemit, if one is poor, ones content is and always will be worth near nothing.

Im not saying my content derves to even reach the $100 mark, not at all. But generousity and realism is not what steemit is for those who seek out to spend hours on originally made content and ends up on maybe $1 if you take away the the sbd spent on bots here.

Almost everyone with a reputation above 70, doesnt give a crap about anyone else, I have been noticing this alot the last couple of weeks, why? Well because I actually kept an eye on it for a long period. Most of them wants others to interact in their content, some makes replies to show that they give a damn, but chooses to upvote their own reply with a $10 vote and maybe just maybe the little guy who spent time reading the content and comming with a very good reply to it gets a $0.02 vote from the content writer. Is it fair? Well yes sure it is, but theese people should think about how they would "feel" if the positions was reversed.

I will not mention any names here at all, or even point out an example, as I am one of the "poor" little folks, who knows if I do so, all my content will be downvoted, my very little (but large to me) reputation will be destroyed, and I will never be able to earn that nearly $1 sbd pr day that I do now here on steemit.

This is not to cause any more drama than there already is, but I will bet you that not even HALF actually reads the entire post, neither the one you made, or this response I have given to you. Why? They dont give a crap they only see "curation reward possibility" and make an ignorant comment. Not all, but most!

And yes Ive actually read your entire post, I always do if I intend to make a comment on it.
Try next time to post a picture of a dog with a stick, just grab something from google, ill bet you thats "high quality content" (moneywise)
If I do the same, only my picture is taken by myself, and is while my dog is in the air on a trampoline, will that be high quality content then? I dont think so.

So do "whales" have many followers because of their good content, or because they have money.. you know what I think.

the truth hurts? you bet it this "abuse" will never end, and its alot more common than everyone thinks, the only ones who can end it are the "whales" but why will they end their moneymachine? that would be pretty dumb.

If you seek REAL quality content you should never look for the ones with most sbd, you should take a look in the middle and below, THATS where the ORIGINALISM is.

If steemit needs to grow, then whales needs to use their vote on actual original content, instead of their own content, more users will gain sp and can help even more users that way.
#selfish

and before someone "maybe reads this", and investigates my profile, and see "ohhh you wrote almost the same on another post yesterday" yep I did, and I did not do it or this for the "posibility" of an upvote, I did this in hopes of using your posts to send out a message.

When will the changes needed to minimise these costly shenanigans be implemented? These exposes - including the one on sweetssj - will not inspire confidence in the platform & lead to widespread adoption.

Great - now focus on the small-time frauds, because that;s what they are: fraud taking place by small upvote bots who collect steemians transfers 24/7 but never upvote nor return transfers - with all kinds of lame excuses, while transferring off the funds. Added together these 'small time' scammers make big bucks. But with blockchain they also can neither run nor hide.

Steemit management need to get their act together quickly because the Fed's will eventually get involved under this act - and shit will hit the fan

Wire (fraud)
18 U.S.C. § 1343 provides: Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.[3]"

So what is stopping anyone on steemit from stealing content from famous news sites and profiting from them? You don't call it "curating" when you copy/paste whole articles with zero comment or discussion. Steemit doesn't value that.

Steemit values ORIGINAL CONTENT, not just copy/pasta from the interweb on our platform.

$1.77

transisto (74) · 7 years ago

Steem holders (not Steemit) should value contributions to Steem, not content itself, original or not.
Porting over quality content from elsewhere on the internet is a contribution but it doesn't mean it's going to be valued with any reward.

$0.00

spectrumecons (69) · 7 years ago

I think it's both. Quality content will attract people and contributions to Steem. Contributions to Steem should help improve the quality of the content and so forth. Bringing quality content from elsewhere can have value. Providing exposure to something worth reading or seeing is fine. The people on Steemit will decide if this content and the effort that went into finding this content is worth rewarding. It is also important that content is adequately referenced.

$2.49

libertylol (59) · 7 years ago

But that's the case, right. quality content HAS been ported over and it HAS been valued with reward.

Your mental gymnastics aside, @zer0hedge has done nothing but copy/paste articles and has done quite well for himself at the expense of the rest of the rewards pool. THAT's the issue.

transisto (74) · 7 years ago (edited)

Given the curation + formatting work + comment curation and rewarding involved, "nothing but copy/paste" is false.

libertylol (59) · 7 years ago (edited)

lol, I copy/paste articles from my other blog all the time. I can do it drunk while watching football. It's not laborious. Maybe someone else will believe there's work behind it, but it's literal copy/paste, right click on image, copy image source, paste image source, copy/paste again.

Taking a quick glance at 5 random posts, he doesn't comment on his own posts. Are you saying he's 'spending a LOT of time upvoting the best comments' and he deserves payment for that?

To the tune of $140,000 a year?

If @zerohedge is taking content, reposting it, and profiting it could be seen as plagiarism EVEN IF credit is being given. If @zerohedge is taking content they own(wrote, paid for, etc.) than it definitely isn’t plagiarism.

transisto (74) · 7 years ago (edited)

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work

I fundamentally do not believe in copyrights so you're going to have a hard time making me believe that if Zerohedge.com were to join Steem their content would be less rewarded than @Zer0hedge snippets.

$0.62

travelersmemoire (58) · 7 years ago

Ok, it’s not plagiarism but it is a copyright violation done for profit not to share information. I can agree information should be free, but one should not profit off someone else’s content. Have you thought about contacting ZeroHedge to ask permission? Otherwise I believe this is place Steem’s legitimacy(PirateBay is worth way less than Netflix) and your own assets at risk(if you’re American at least).

$0.64

transisto (74) · 7 years ago

one should not profit off someone else’s content

One could argue that digital copies of content does not belong to it's creator anymore. I believe it's mainly about respecting author's credits at least by not miss characterizing it as your own.

$0.65

travelersmemoire (58) · 7 years ago

I definitely agree with not characterizing another’s work as your own and that you need to accept some loss of control over time, but I feel like once you monetize another’s content without permission it’s crossing over into questionable terroritory. We disagree here and overall it’s an issue that I’m not really sure I’m right about so I won’t push it. Maybe someone with more intelligent with stronger beliefs than my own can further debate this.

Thanks for the discussion though!

I think you also just up-voted yourself here. I congratulate your change of heart as I consider it a return on investment like exorcising a stock option given to a direct of a company. It motivates more engagement by the author with commenters. If the witnesses want to change the ability to do such I don't think there would be too much push back but to try to flag people is aggressive like vinegar on a wound and will promote hatred.

I stopped believing in copyright a while ago myself, I think that point would simply not add anything to this discussion, nor would it in any way change any behavior from any whales.

I have to say @transisto, and I may be inviting unpleasantries from you, that I am a little disappointed with point C, not shocked, just dissapointed.

I have defended your positions plenty of times, because as much as I may not agree with your methods all the time, I always have agreed with your desire to improve and protect the platform.

So to me, the idea that you hold in the back of your mind a vivid fear of being left holding a bag does make me think a little different about your words. Now, I am under no illusion I'm someone relevant, I'm a tiny account just sharing songs and philosophical ramblings. I just believed that someone that had achieved your level of success did not live a life with those fears.

In any case, I stand by my way of thinking, live and let live... It has always been your choice to do with your SP what you want, because you own it.

I'll take my leave.

There is already a strong natural tendency to reinvest money in something that you are heavily invested in. Forcing large investors to "pay original content producers" at least 10 times every day a day is IMO a distraction from what actually needs to be done. Worry not I've got things coming to improve both spam and quality of trending content.

I'm also going to write a post on how I see UI implementation of separate down-voting pool. I believe it's the best solution to fight spam and the most blatant self-voting abuse.
