What do you think of returning some gaming aspect to the first 24hrs with payout in 5 days while making days 2 through 7 linear?
I'd also like to see the return of the 30 day payout window, too, if it doesn't up api node memory costs.
We had that at one point, might have been before you got here, but those extra pennies did add up.
I think any gamification in the first 24 hours will be heavily gamed by bots. I think giving everyone a fair opportunity in the first 24 hours allows for more organic voting and less dependency on maximizing actions. So at this time, I wouldn't be a fan of changing it for those reasons.
I am a fan of evergreen content, Hive by nature doesn't tend to lend itself to it as you can only vote once and most of the voting is done in the first 48 hours. If we were to compete with Twitch, YouTube, and other long term content platforms, we would need an evergreen solution. We do have it in one form, tipping, which isn't' used much though. There have been some talks in the past of evergreen solutions most of which though were pretty hacky. I would probably be more in favor of 5 day payout than 30 mainly for the reason most votes come in within 48 hours and latest version are more likely to be farming.
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?
