Hi @novacadian, thanks for the info.
It is important to note that the final version of eco+ is unlikely to be built on STEEM because as you can see it will be a different kind of voting system.
STEEM is a purely capital-based meritocratic system.
eco+ platform will be a content-based sociocratic system with an addition of the capital-based meritocratic voting. The sociocratic part will have a maximum inflation, but not the minimum. That means that if consent isn't reached on any post, the whole pool will be distributed meritocratically.
The challenge is to make the mechanics good enough to make that unlikely to happen.
The goal is the mutual agreement of everyone.
The interface we're building on STEEM will be only for community and content building purposes, not for testing the mechanics. Therefore, it is unnecessary to implement the fork you mentioned.
Nice to meet you @novacadian, do you want me to add you to the supporters list?
Following you so as to keep abreast of eco+'s development. If that would make me a supporter then feel free to add me to the list.
Yep, that's what supporting is all about! If you don't want to see my other posts on your feed, you can follow @ecoplus to see filtered posts about the project.
Enjoy!
