Oh yeah, I'm definitely down to move the focus of voting, and the PoS elements, away from $$
I've been brainstorming and trying to get going a few projects (whether layer 1 or 2) for quality news distribution (downvotes only for plagiarism, no sources, etc.), Freedom Cells, and various other needs/communities to be covered. I like the idea of voting stake only being earned through receiving votes, and not able to be bought/sold - with a totally separate currency for tipping, buying etc.
Hive is the perfect censorship resistant system. It’s better than anything out there, by far. It’s not completed yet, that’s for sure.
While I agree with this at the base code level, that is outweighed by that history, and the Stake that exists (maliciously downvoting those who disagree with them, thus slowing the stake growth of both creators & curators of differing opinions - maintaining their monopoly.)
For it to work, the experiment would have to be re-run, with clear intentions & principles. Trying to change the system from the inside, when the "law" (the code) can be changed any time by those in charge... Sounds familiar.
If you did a Fair launch, across people who all agreed to a much more specific ethos, then we could get somewhere new, very quickly.
Good points. Sounds like u need to fork. I’m going to focus on hive tho. There will be so many other monetisation tools that chasing rewards from the pool will be kind of frowned upon in the future. Using ur external rewards to buy more hive in order to affect governance, well that will be another thing. Platforms and users will of course have to hold hive for resource credits, although even that will radically change with resource credit delegations.
