I really want to note your integrity, on full display in this post.
"...@freebornangel you were so right…..I take back what I said."
I am deeply moved. I kid you not. I admire honesty, and honesty is impossible for many people that seem to find any opportunity to learn something they didn't know a personal slight instead. Without the ability to admit we were wrong, we can never become right.
I did not realize that were all the SP extant to be actively voting the rewards pool would completely drain, and that changes my views on things. Thanks for that too!
Kudos!
I like people that challenge the way I think and point me in the right direction....
Also there might be an error in my calculation above, I have added an edit as it is under query at the moment
Can you look into how the price rising makes it harder to build sp, too?
Most of the sp i have i got when the price was around .15usd.
My napkin tells me that were the price to go to 20usd getting to 500sp and the slider will be near impossible.
Slider is just a feature of Steemit. You can do the same on Steem blockchain with other tools. Busy.org is an example. Also as the price increases Steemit can reduce the limit to may be say 100 SP.
Did you see that bs that lexenbrise tried to rebut me with?
He did a good enough job that the easily misled would buy into it, but jebus, that was a load of crap.
Totally agree with @valued-customer. This is what drives great discussions and learning. Every post that @paulag presents I learn from ... That often includes the great comments. Willingness to change one's mind, given the data, is the mark of a good scientist.
Great post @paulag, I was actually contemplating some of these quandaries as I delegated some SP around. Timely post... Is there a global conciseness ;-)
thank you @jasonbu
