RE: Why linear rewards in HF19 won't solve SteemIt's main problems

in #steemit8 years ago

well.. if you're using 2% on a single vote your vote strength drains a lot faster, so you would need to curate better to compensate for that assuming voting strength wasn't cut down to 25% to go back to the other way, but then people using their max vote on actual good content are going to get ahead on curation compared to you. being a good curator also has the potential of creating a curation trail when bots or other users pick up on your stats for good curation, so that helps too

Sort:  

Yup 4x max power is interesting, but that's different than the linear reward change. I'm excited about that change, personally i don't see any problem with increasing it even more (or even to 100% from 2%).

Currently there's no such thing as "stats for good curation", only profitability of curation (which currently has almost nothing to do with the quality of the content).

I think the problem with going too far above the 2% is it could become less about curation and more about a circle of friends blasting out 100% on each other

How is that any different from the current situation? lol

The only difference is that on 100% they can do one 100% vote every 5 days instead of having to do 100s of votes to spend 99%. It gives them a lot of responsibility.

I don't see a problem with giving everyone the power to spend 100% of their power on 1 piece of content, the consequence will be 5 days inactivity or 5 days of extremely limited power.

That makes sense.
