My thoughts are discussing such minuscule details while we still have problems with getting new users who would use this chain is inappropriate...
I can understand the pressure of big bags, any other project is growing and funds locked here have stalled very low. I have most of my savings here too. The thing is this sort of thinking doesn't bring real growth.
How do we want to market the Hive? How are we going to improve the user experience? How are we going to support new people here? It takes weeks to months to get it. Not everybody is in love with the idea of decentralization.
When these issues will be solved our bags will grow automatically. Incentivizing people to NOT VOTE seems to be move in the opposite direction. Just bringing flat curation seems to solve problems with auto voting and will support new accounts.
Believe it or not but you can do multiple things at the same time. Hive is rapidly being scaled, the core devs have meetings bi-weekly, and more work is being done on this chain by this community, myself included than ever before. The next hard fork is about all the changes we want to make going into the long haul.
You don't go out and get users just to get users. These "heavy bags" are not heavy at all, I'm not looking to sell for a very long time, price dosen't affect me in the slightest. Right now is the prime time to fix these minuscule details you mention, for me, some of these things are not minuscule at all, having correct tokenomics, sinks, and faucets are the most important thing to any crypto project. But not trying to die on the hill. Just letting you know, if you want something done on hive, do it.
Thanks for the answer and all of your involvement here, I appreciate this! I try to follow what's going on in terms of development and discussion where HIVE is heading but obviously I could miss something. There are some things impossible to be done from the level of the individual. I'm interested in steering the discussion in the direction that seems to be needed at the moment, trying to add my 3 cents, and willing to engage on the technical level available to me. I don't want to just be that whining guy.
From my perspective, at this point, tokenomics seems to be good enough but the balance of token distribution and network robustness seems to be omitted topics to some extend. The key point for me is that: growing user-base and buzz should have a much bigger weight.
Cheers!
Well said! I totally concur with you here. Merely flat curation, getting rid of this current stupid curation curve and voting time frame and making every author's content evergreen to earn rewards forever, among many other good and healthy things, would lead us to be much closer to the financial goals and objectives that everyone would expect around here.
But yeah! everyone sees thangs according their very own mindset. };)
