On top of this to me nothing about this sound promising at all...
Without being able to selfvote my own post whats the sense of me buying a bunch of steem now and powering it up? Instead wouldn't this encourage even higher bot usage or creation of a 2nd account that is used to upvote my own posts?
20 seconds to 3 second on comments is a bit drastic there are already issues with bots posting all over the place and if your writing a comment faster then 3 seconds your clearly a freakin bot!
