Tipping, not just a town in China,...
I'm thinking there is some way to game curation with some random that will baffle bots.
Add order of vote, weight, and time between votes that randomizes rewards to curators on the first day.
It won't be straight linear(boring, no bump to vote value on popular content), but it won't be predictable, more a lottery.
Some days you get the boost, other days you get, maybe, 95% of what linear would have given you.
As for abusive stake, if a btc node was counterfeiting btc, nobody would bat an eye at excluding them.
Why counterfeiting hive with low effort content isn't viewed the same is beyond me.
After all, pob can also be described as proof of effort mining.
Linear is proof of wallet.
Customs, as derived by community consensus, are an important part of crowd control.
Continuing bad actors should be dealt with harshly, iyam.
Code is law only goes so far, with me, we don't fill our homes with rattlesnakes because rattlesnakes have a right to live, too.
I think a soft fork of the irredeemables, until they can stop their crap, is in order.
A valid defense of the coin.
When does bloat from spam become and issue, again?
