Leasing is quite dead but I'd say it would only count for real hivepower, not delegated. Keep in mind this also only matters when counting your follower's total HP, not your own, but maybe your own could have some impact as well to prevent abuse?
Either way, there's a lot of different factors here and the idea can evolve quite a lot.
I think @travoved brought up an important point. Is it possible that the HP considered will be "Effective HP"? The Hivestats.io website accurately displays the Effective HP a user has.
There are people who have significantly more HP than their actual owned HP because they are leasing it from others. Similarly, some accounts have much less Effective HP because they've delegated their HP to others. I think the best metric to consider for the reblogger's followers' total HP should be their "Effective HP."
The original idea wouldn't depend much on how much effective HP the reblogger has, more about the HP their followers have and how much of it potentially ends up voting on the post after the reblog.
It's quite a complicated idea, probably start off simple and evolve after that. We'd also need to figure out a way to fund the work towards it if we'd wanna keep the service feeless as well.
Agree with this. It seems complicated but I would like it to be implemented.
If the DHF is funding community projects, I think it makes sense to also fund tools/projects like comment and reblog rewards, and possibly more in the future, to boost engagement on the platform. This could potentially increase user retention as well. You might want to consider submitting a proposal for it.
I think if people will suggest and help with ideas how to realize this on Hive it'll be win-win way for community and for Hive!
