Time for my monthly reminder that beneath the surface of most things you will find facts that you don't like once you dig down deep enough.
Hive is doing pretty good on the whole.
I don't have that many things to complain about.
I would like to see delegations die with their owner's abandonment of the platform.
Delegations should expire on the same schedule as witness votes, imo.
I'm amazed that I didn't think of it myself, but I didn't.
Now the genie is out of the bottle.
Tptb won't be listening to me, gonna be up to you, dear reader, sound off and let them know that we are tired of the reward pool reap of folks no longer awake at the switch.
Maybe we can get some tapering off of how hard these top 20 accounts reap the pool, but I wouldn't count on it.
The names you see are some of the oldest accounts on the chain.
This will be a hard habit for some of them to break.
Why would they quit when the only per person complaining is a known squeaky wheel with little to no influence in the inner circles?
Why would they quit when the math just gives what they would have taken to the next account down and a few redfish that otherwise would have gotten nothing?
We may have to wait until they finally get diluted enough that it doesn't make good use of their time to continue to reap the pool this hard, day after day after day for another few years.
That seems to be the pattern up to now.
Or, maybe the authors here will all become good looking ladies with coffee cups in our mitts on a safari to the deepest recesses of the world and those curators will finally have something worthy of their vote outside the usual safe for beneficence suspects.
Heaven forbid some uncomfortable truths or unpopular speech might make it to the trending page.
As an unfortunate side effect of publicizing these little known facts of the math in the hive my only benefit comes when those folks decide to stop taking a whale's share and they let the little fish have more.
The dearth of support from those accounts have set the trend that is likely to continue.
Some of you may wonder why I choose to spend sooo much time on this one topic.
At some point, hopefully in my lifetime, we will see the reward pool smooth off the peaks and raise the valley floors to a more egalitarian distribution of the pool.
No longer will the same old familiar names be running things, new familiar names will replace them.
We will have a community capable of carrying the consensus.
Not just a few early adopters calling the shots, entirely.
But, for that to happen, favored authors need to power up what the community gives them.
IF you are voting rewards to people that dump, you are not helping.
IF you have been here for some time, and your rep is over 65, you should have minimum 1000hp, or you are not helping.
IF somebody wanted to do some math and figure out the details of rep to hp holdings as both rise, we can set some realistic goals for the newbs to aspire to attain.
I will eventually do it myself, but not in time for this post.
I'd have to have the numbers that show how reputation and rewards correlate, and I don't have that formula in my bookmarks.
Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places?
Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that.
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets that force us to pay them so they can play in the amusement parks from hell and shop in the human grocery stores.
'Aint that fresh?'
Metal in your own possession will always have more intrinsic value than digits on a bankster's ledger.

That is all, for now, you may resume your otherwise mundane day.
To contest the characterization of your day as mundane, make a post of your own explaining why your day is not mundane and ping me, eh?
