I haven't really studied how this might work. But a question first: since Steem is all transparent but Viva/TQ, at least for now, is not. So, in the future when this mechanism is put to work, then people can somehow estimate how much stake the upvoted user has inside this VIVA system. Is it correct?
I am not really against more transparency inside the VIVA system, this is just a question that pops into my mind when I am thinking about the upvotes from TQ.
Thanks for your hardwork! Dean
Steem is only steem. VIVA and TQ have a lot more than just steem involved and so we have to balance transparency and accountability with a desire for privacy that is inherent in finance. This is one reason I'm advocating the formula. You'll know why you're getting an upvote, but no one else will know why.
this sounds so crypto-style! XD. thanks for the answer.
You're very welcome!
