Hi @timcliff,
Am I correct that these people do this for the initial steem power?
Wouldn't they stop doing this, if the initial steem is blocked forever and also does not increase?
Only earned and bought steem should increase and be able to power down.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Any account has a small amount of STEEM power, which is given to it by the creating account. Steemit also delegates 15 SP to the account to get started - which can be used to upvote. 100 ‘free’ accounts would have 1,500 SP worth of voting power. 1,000 accounts would have 15,000 SP.
@timcliff, so why isn't it possible to just block the initial steem for a power down? Don't you think that could make the registration much faster, if nobody has any reason to create hundrets of unused accounts?
That is part of what they are planning to change in hardfork 20, but they will still be getting 15 SP per account that they can vote with.
