The problem with being forced to vote at a later time is that chunks of curation rewards are being forfeited. If it all would be randomized, I'd be okay with it, but if it's simply about people not wanting to see burn posts on trending; then this should have a direct UI solution.
While I was and still am a proponent of the SPS, much of it could have also been realized with the current voting mechanism we have today, just by having the right UI for it. So I think it's crucial that we do the right thing for people who want to burn rewards.
I agree. As we discussed this is meant to be a temporary “solution”. As a change to the UI won’t happen anytime soon.
Point is we don’t want contentless post to litter trending even if the intent of those posts are good for the economy. I don’t think it’s too much to ask. For Curation ROI there are many real posts to vote where you vote should go it.
Burnpost is a philanthropy, we shouldn’t be looking for ROI there.
That seems like exactly the sort of tradeoff that should be left to the voters. It is a clear judgment call whether good for the economy outweighs good for trending or vice versa.
No it isn't. If you burn your own coins, that is philanthropy. If you vote to burn (i.e. not distribute) funds from the reward pool, that is a vote on how to best use the reward pool.
Voters should be free to be voters (i.e. express an opinion by voting without incurring an added personal cost to vote one way or another). There is no other way to fairly measure the value of burning vs the benefits of content on trending (given current UI) other than letting voters take that balance into account.
Not being able to downvote without a personal cost was the situation prior to EIP and it had catastrophic consequences.
When I suggest that voters consider voting later, that doesn't mean voters should be required to do this, or harassed if they don't.
I agree. But if they willingly do it, I am sure you will be okay with that.
This is actually an important point. I am curious to gather data to show if voting for the burnpost is better, or voting for a conventional content is better. I think @abh12345 still has a subscription of steem sql, I will request him to investigate that point.
@smooth, it is currently left to the voter. All we are trying to accomplish is the find a happy medium which give us a sort of temporary solution within our existing boundary conditions
I do hold a subscription, yes. Happy to look into the data with a little more guidance :)
Of course, as I said, I have been voting late myself all along, so I certainly don't mind anyone else doing it!
Not sure what you mean by "better" or how this would be researched.
