RE: Proposal to Remove Curation Rewards

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

Maybe just made the rewards equal weighted and not dependent from TIME... just dependent from VOTING POWER... (that would give motivation for more POWER UPS) and include a lottery style reward system for EACH POST...(more VOTE-POWER on a post the bigger the JACKPOT)

Sort:  

Good brainstorming dani, unfortunately the the power-up system is screwed up from the very beginning - as in "you can power up all you want for no gain what so ever - the powered up whales will still hold all the voting power"...the rest is wishful thinking by unbound optimists like yourself

This would create the incentive to spare your votes for posts that already have massive amounts, and add yours. Curation wouldn't work at all.

they would have massive amounts for a reason I guess...

Reduced rewards for voting after a post is already popular is not "punishing" those later voters, it is just recognizing reality that those votes are in a sense less valuable. I say in a sense because votes can be interpreted on different scales. If something goes from 0-100 votes, it is less valuable for it to get one more vote, but still probably extremely valuable for it to gets to a million votes. So something that discourages or even fails to reward votes 101-999999 is not necessarily the desired incentive structure.

@smooth's proposal solves that effect gently...
