Interesting, at the end of my reading I didn't need paracetamol which seems to me to show that you are very good at this writing exercise.
I hope this short comment will motivate you to supervise the addition of what you wrote about the OBI protocol to the whitepaper and take the opportunity to do the same about what you wrote for the last change on the voting windows and any other elements that would be appropriate to put in (as the expiration of governance votes).
ps: If you have a link explaining as well how the scheduled block producers work in detail I would be interested as I'm having a hard time understanding its exact process.
ps: why can't we use the same options for the reward on comments as on posts (e.g.: decline the reward), what logic led to this differentiation? It's something that has nothing to do with the subject of your post but that disturbs me every time I would have used it.
I'm actually not one of the main maintainers of the whitepaper, although I've suggested ideas for it and helped proofread it. But I'll definitely answer any questions that may come up about this when it gets updated (I guess it would probably be a good idea to do it soon, with the upcoming hardfork).
I don't have such a link unfortunately: we had to read thru the existing code to figure out how it worked and how to update it. We try to add comments as we make changes to the code, but for the most part the original code didn't come with many comments.
AFAIK, you can decline the rewards for a comment (not just for posts). I think it's just a matter of if the frontends expose the functionality. But I could be wrong, and it's probably best to ask in frontend devs discord for more/better info on how to do it.
I read the last version of it this morning on Gitlab and it seems to be @guiltyparties? I am glad to hear that you are available to help update it since you are the person with the most knowledge about HIVE due to your involvement in its development since the beginning 6 years ago and your skills.
I would have tried Hahaha, It's regrettable that it's so time-consuming to learn HIVE when you're trying to get a little deeper into its processes. I know you are working on solutions like HAF to facilitate the dev of new dApp but for people like me who love to learn and deepen their knowledge, it is somewhat frustrating.
I didn't expect this answer, you've taught me something, I'll look into it more seriously to understand why no frontend offers it, thanks.
I think we will have to end up releasing the an update to the original whitepaper that is distinctly marked as a different document. The reason is that the current whitepaper is listed in a lot of places and updating all those versions will lead to confusion.
You give me too much credit. Best I can do is influence who listed or partnered with Hive.
