Doesn't the rewards pool stay the same size regardless of how many sbds you award yourself? Imo the idea of pegging a debt token tied to steem is unlikely and impractical. I'm interested to hear your reasoning or a more thorough analysis.
The usd peg seems to be "the holy grail" of crypto, I'm not sure if it's possible for a few years till the market balances out.
Then again, "the code is law" so it's hard to argue your right to act in, what seems to you, the best interests of the platform.
I applaud your reorganizing of the trending page, and putting some social pressure on bot owners, and users. but these comment self votes leave a lot of us disconcerted. Any feedback will be appreciated.
yeah, I wish someone would explain. I have no idea what's going on and this is... just... I mean I'm the first person to admit how totally ignorant I am of the inner workings of steem but this just .. looks really bad. And honestly, disconcerting a big group of people without explaining what you are doing because they are beneath your mighty notice has never led to anything good... just sayin...
well, steem it quite complicated... I've been here for over 6 months, studying intently, and there's still plenty I don't understand.... it's best to not get too caught up in the drama as you get your feel for the place. there's always been drama, and there always will be. these types of things... well, the cat can explain further, or he may choose not to....
if it becomes a big enough of a deal that witnesses and developers decide they can't stand it anymore, then something will be changed with the code... but people have come up with all sort of ideas on how to prevent excessive self-voting, and voting rings... however, it's all quite complicated, and it takes more than an idea of what might help, but developers willing to write the code out so it can be given a test run.... and you have to get it past a bunch of people who have thought on these things for a lot longer than we have, and can poke holes in almost any idea....
best to just continue working on creating good content, and building relationships with the type of people who you "vibe" with, there is plenty of value to create, and to be found in the steem network.
That sounds like extremely sage advice and I intend to follow it hahaha
thanks for taking the time to answer so thoroughly ~ ♡
