Steemit Inc (Tron) for whatever reasons without my consent, has been trying make decisions on my behave that deeply affect me using other platforms in our ocean. I have not voted you as my witness. You

Great article @cyprianj! You may want to read also some ideas on which type of protocol a decentralized social blockchain should have (for a stronger protection against attacks of malevolent participants

@krischik StackOverflow is a very specific niche community, so its peers evaluating eachother (a sort of qualified vote. On an universal social blockchain, you have people interested on arts affecting

I guess once what constitutes a "REDPOS" protocol is defined, then comes a specific implementation of such a protocol. For a specific implementation you also would have to take into account not

Well the voting power is related to Steem Power, if SP is distributed in just a few hands the witnesses rank should reflect that. But also apathy from smal SP holders could contribute as well.

For me, this is important because it can potentially rebalance value and its distribution through a system that can be verified through trustless mechanisms. Some consensus mechanism are trusted ones.

Right now a new account on STEEM costs 3 STEEM. I like the anti-spam account fee. As I said to implement a good REDPOS protocol would need a very well thought use of "reputational related parameters"

Thanks you for your kind words @theoretical!

Hi David! I don't know if you are ever loging back to this account, but if you do, I would like to have your thoughts on this protocol enhancement proposal: Reputational Enhanced Delegated Proof-of-Stake

Great, thanks! The concept behind what would constitute a REDPOS type of protocol is explained here. Feel free to post that link on the #ideas section of the discord channel for future reference if you

Reputation is purely built @blocktrades already explained that the current REP system on STEEM was coded as a "bandaid". On a REDPOS protocol, as REP would be a significant aspect of the witness

Thank you @liondani ! That's exactly what I wanted to start. I know time is a factor so a fork on the same protocol would be a short time solution. I'm not a coder (I did learn some assembler and C language

all the accounts could be two years old or older and they could come out. But someone has had to create those accounts two years in advance.

Thanks for your contribution @valued-customer! For REP I mean "a better REP system" (i.e. as @blocktrades is working on). Also a REDPOS uses a combination of human activity related parameters.

Great initiative @andrarchy ! Perhaps you could take a look at the Reputational Enhanced Delegated Proof-of-Stake (REDPOS) protocol concept for a #socialblockchain and share your thoughts?

a bunch of accounts and those accounts could eventually become old enough for your standards. If you can delay an attack for 2 years, that's a feature. It's a lot of time to prepare a defence, don't you

REDPOS is just an idea for a new type of DPoS protocol that uses REPUTATION as part of the witness rank. That link is the only paper defining it, for the moment. For example, this account: Could be elected

I'm thinking more in terms of human society. STEEM is just 4 years old, but would you put a 3 month old in charge of it? A baby ruling a kindergarten. 50% of STEEM age would be a better guarantee. Of course

@stellabelle, any agreement on paper can be also ignored by a malevolent entity. STEEM community could turn from DPOS protocol to REDPOS protocol. For example, no user could be elected as witness unless

Well it depends on how it would be implemented. The parameter "account age" could be used to exclude the posibility of ranking as witness unless a set mininum account age is achieved. In that
