Well, we are thinking to take her claws out completely and just create a bot that gathers detailed statistics relating to self voting and the reward pool allocation.
Everyone has been overreacting to our proposals. It's not possible to do some things, some things just don't need to be done. Sometimes you don't figure that out until you actually test out the hypothesis.
I am taking a different tack now also, still in the process of getting the RPC running correctly, but I'm forking Condenser, and it will be made minnow friendly and integrated chat with login tied to steem account authentication will be a high priority. It is my view the scattered way in which steemit does things relating to the social side is the biggest problem the community has, and it has uses for malicious people.
You can't manipulate people so easily when they can gossip more easily. Isolating people from each other is key to enabling attacks on them that they can't quickly learn about and adapt defences. The social fragmentation caused by such poorly thought out services needs to be fixed as a matter of priority.
It is long past due that someone actually took up the invitation contained within the documentation for Condenser, to fork it and develop an interface independently of Steemit that has the full capabilities. All the other interfaces have serious deficiencies, where Condenser is only a little buggy in places and doesn't expose enough of the capabilities of the blockchain to users.
Well, I commend you on your insistence on testing, and being willing to test on yourself. You are putting skin in the game, and I reckon that merits respect. I also have to acknowledge your clear commitment to Steemit and the people that use it. That you care, and care deeply enough to take decisive and substantive action to improve the community and platform, is inspiring.
Thanks!
PS. I'd upvote, but VP recharge seems to be broken. My VP is recharging at about 2% per day, rather than 20%, and unless I can get my VP recharged, I am unable to provide the full benefit to the creators I should be able to under the rules extant on Steemit.
No one is more frustrated than I at my inability to vote presently.
upvotes don't mean so much to me, but well thought out responses are golden.
yes, i always test on myself. I was selling Bromo Dragonfly at one time, got in some deep shit over that. I took it 3 times to make sure that i wasn't endangering my customers.
It was amazing and worth every bit of risk but there just wasn't enough brave souls like me out there.
LOL I have no knowledge of what you speak. I have an idea, but speculation is all it is. If my speculations are even close, then we are more alike than I thought.
