So you could just "like" a post (in which everyone's like has an equal weight and a like also determines its trending position on Hive) and also upvote/tipp it (which decreases one's personal reward pool for the day and transfer's some of it to the post that is being upvoted/tipped)?
I'm not sure how the trending algorithm is going to look like in practice, but yes, you've got the gist of it!
Do we have something like "Hive Beta" where ideas like this could be tested? I feel that such a radical change to the ecosystem should first get tested to see how it works out. But I agree, we still need to figure out the fundamentals as the system still doesn't work optimally.
I agree we need a practical & transparent way of testing ideas. Maybe @blocktrades or @howo have some thoughts on it?
