how about delegations to INDIVIDUAL Steemers?
The purpose would be to decentralize voting power to people who have added content to Steemit, who have worked to create communities, who have proselytized for this platform, and who have spent years here.
This type of decentralization would be better able to protect new Steemers from involvement in the flag wars, at the very least.
Proposed Requirements for Consideration
- Currently hold less than 20,000 SP
- Minimum of two years on the Steem blockchain
- Minimum of 500 original posts ( i.e. 250/year)
Open for discussion as to what "original" means - Minimum of comments of others' posts of 1000
This indicates community involvement - Minimum rep of 65
- One of the following indicators of community involvement
-has sponsored creation contests
-has taken part in forming a tag-based community
-has delegated SP to support a community or project (either a minimum of 1000 SP OR 25% of total SP)
Businesses are fine and dandy, and Steem Inc. should attempt to onboard them for the purposes stated here.
More importantly, Steem Inc. needs to consider that INDIVIDUALS are going to be the the factor that makes or breaks STEEM value.
- It is INDIVIDUALS that decide whether using the platform is a waste of time or not, which directly affects the regard the blockchain itself is held in
- It is INDIVIDUALS that make the decision for any enterprise whether or not to use our blockchain
A 500mv cap on influence does a better job of spreading influence than giving stake to the favored few, imo.
What do you figure my odds of being one of the fortunate few would be?
The ninjamine/steem account should be burned(not yet).
What you are proposing will only make things worse.
Selling it dirt cheap is like burning it; except it goes to smart people instead of going to @null.
I'm with you.
Just tired of two years of waiting for the malignant to get their fill.
I would be normally opposed to any upper cap...
but I can see the argument that Steemit as a platform was designed to be be decentralized; similar to how a corporation decides how stock is issued before it is sold.[edit - so yes, I can agree with the idea of an upper cap]
My proposal would benefit the folks like me and you. take a look at the parameters again. thats us. You fit every parameter
we are the people that have provided Steemit with 1000s of content posts and interactions, but that the whales have not rewarded as such.
We are exactly the people who would benefit the platform as a whole, especially in reach outside the whale circles. multiple us by 1000.
I'd be more open to the idea of Steeminc just giving that SP to folks like us if I didn't figger that half the recipients would just dump it on the market
Lol, once we soak it up from a dump, we can start our journey.
A cap can be raised as influence spreads out.
Combine an influence cap with abuse fighting measures and the economics here might interest more than short term oriented investors.
I meet all the requirements except brown nosing stinc in corporate speek.
ROFL
just to be clear, your proposal is just to disappear all the STEEM that was created before it opened to the public? I might could get behind that, even I don't think it will happen
I don't have a good reference for the pre-release "ninja mining"...do you have one (or more) bookmarked to share
My proposal is to stake the @steem account's stake to a witness controlled bot that downvotes any votes over the cap.
Just like the whale experiment worked.
We can even bring back the n2 to give larger investors privileges.
It won't happen as long as the majority of stake says no.
the majority of stake is still all of Steem's various accounts isnt it?
Like 63%, or something.
My napkin tends to round some.
