Despite my best effort to see things from your point of view, and I can certainly empathize regarding innocent victims of doxxing, I just can't see how you can have any realistic expectation that people who have been defrauded should be unable to pursue recompense.
You completely fail to elucidate a realistic alternative, which is just encouraging the current protocol. Your only criticism of the current protocol is that mistakes can happen.
Name any mechanism, in any social institution, in which mistakes can't happen, and be bad.
If you expect people that have been defrauded to do nothing to recover their money, your opinion is so divorced from reality it is meaningless. Propose a reasonable, functional alternative, point to clues to such, or be ignored as irrelevant.
Because expecting people to do nothing is irrelevant. It's not even remotely reasonable.
have you read the bitcoin white paper? Or at least the abstract? that is exactly what I'm advocating. Decentralization comes at a price. No one forces you to spend money on bots. no one.
I exemplify that truth. I have never used a bot intentionally. I intend never to do so, at least not for votes.
Yet, I recognize that they infest Steemit. People use them for reasons, the median payout on Steemit is $.01, and this drives people to seek upvotes from bots.
This drives profits into the coffers of SP delegators, and is a net negative to the platform - and Steem - but that doesn't relieve scammers like @zeartul of his personal responsibility for their frauds.
People have a right to seek redress, and they will do so, regardless of our opinions. It's gonna happen.
It's not wrong, either.
