But, we can code it how we want it. We don't have to replicate plutocracy. If we make Hive right, we will remake IRL, too. Change is afoot, and the world is evolving economically. We can take the bull by the horns, or do what we're doing, which is getting gored.

All the users or the few with fat HivePower?

This is a matter I have struggled with for a long time. Before @ned did us dirty he gave several talks on how to use oracles and 1a1v to eliminate bots, which greatly encouraged me at the time. There are several identity mechanisms that have been proposed claiming to be able to prove an account is run by a single human being, to identify that single human such that they cannot have multiple accounts, and as far as 1a1v on Hive, I am not willing to limit such democratic voting by any other metric than that.
I particularly find plutocracy vexing, despite knowing that merely having money doesn't establish one is a vile thief (I only know this because I have good friends that are less poor than me). There are too many examples of highly staked persons with execrable moral and ethical standards, insert your favorite villains here. However, in fact folks with substantial stake have a lot of capability to impact matters, and obvious reasons to be extremely dedicated to ensuring things aren't off the chain - or, conversely, to skew things in their favor. It seems then that folks with substantial stake have more basis for influencing matters than me, who has little stake to risk.
This is true even in non-monetary economies, such as the Potlatch economies of the PNW natives in which a chief is availed the authority to parcel out resources to the tribe. I can but console myself that I cannot be expected to answer your question definitively, but that doesn't resolve the matter either.
I was addressing exactly this issue years ago with one of the witnesses, and was told that such identifying function was either not doable or could be tricked, as well. I am not sure any more what exactly was said but the overall message was "no".
I am neither convinced such an oracle exists, as I have only read claims, and never seen a demonstration. If an oracle could provide such identity verification without biometric data, I just wouldn't be interested in further limitations or modifications, like stake, on such verifiable individual votes.
Is Hive a dead horse and you should change it quickly?

I am not holding out much hope, TBQH. However I get what I came here for every time I come here, which is forthright speech from people that I can learn from. I didn't come here for money. I came here for free speech. That hasn't been completely eradicated here, yet.
I hope there is a future, but we will see.
But here are some users that only want free speech when it is their own opinion.
LOL
