I think that rewards aren't n^2, is a much bigger problem.

Still didn't fully understand this problem.
I know @felixxx is writing a lot about it, but wouldn't that make posts like this even less rewarding and bring people to buy even higher votes?

Right now there is $2.84 on this with 31 users thinking this is content worth their upvote. You could easily buy $10/20 upvotes. With n² wouldnt that mean this would be worth way more (cant figure out the math right now) without anyone approving with the bought post?

Still think self voting is a bigger problem. At least early self votes that draw lots of % from the curation rewards. And people shouldn't be encouraged to instantly selfvote by having a checkbox right next to the post button.

Ja! The checkbox is a serious problem..
Stimme dir auf jeden Fall zu, bin aber gerade echt nicht in der Verfassung n^2 zu erklären.. :s

Yeah, but the problem is, the rewards pool is going into the pockets of people that created nothing, and their behavior is behind closed doors, so the community, which is supposed to police bad behavior, can't even react to it properly. How is it any better for all the biggest rewards to be paid for in advance to someone that doesn't risk anything to earn that money? To me, the problems are equal, but at least with self-voting, we see it, we know who they are and we can flag or comment, or mention them and there will be an awareness of the bad actors.
