@blocktrades I look at your rep and is #74 at the moment. Do you think an improvement to the STEEM DPOS could be to use the reputation as threshold for being considered for the witness election process?
The current protocol lets an user with a 25 rep become a witness, so it was pretty easy for Justin Sun to impose sockpuppets by just "brutforce". That would be ok 4 years ago, but after several years, maybe it could have been a good idea to require a certain rep treshold for any user to be elegible as witness.
That would be a "proof of human" also for witnesses.
