I like the analogy in relation to downvoting, when you go to a store you buy things you like or need and don't break stuff so others can not buy it anymore. Also is there a relation to the downvoting system where people with higher reputation have more power to downvote than others in relation to the upcomming Hardfork 19? Or doesn't that have any relation to each other?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Reputation is purely a WEBSITE side feature of steemit.com. It is not actually part of the blockchain. So if you were say on busy.org or another blockchain viewing website the reputation system may or may not do anything. Since it is not actually implemented in the blockchain it really has no impact on how you vote. It is basically a cosmetic FIX for the Steemit.com website.
Right, that makes it clear enough. Thank you
