As a voter and proxy I am fully capable to vote for the maximum number of block producers to make sure the chain is secure. So no, I am against the short term solution.
The beauty of DPoS is that there a no "attacks". The rules are crystal clear: Plutocracy
The rules are only crystal clear to those who understand them.
It is, indeed, a plutocracy and hence not decentralised governance.
As long as one knows.
So you're happy with that?
a DPOP?
yes, because decentralization is desirable to protect ones investment. anyone with half a brain (hi Justin) should come to this conclusion
But it isn't there to protect everyone's investment.
OK, I still don't think the vast majority of Steemians actually understand this feature of DPOS, they just effervesce the "decentral" mantra.
