Thanks for the post! I shared it from my Twitter account in order to help raise public awareness of quality content that's available through Steem and steemgeeks.net.

Thank you!

Can you please explain the averages in the powerup/powerdown numbers? It's not matching what I get when I take an average in LibreOffice or in awk.... What am I missing? Here's what I get when I plug the

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I understood what I was seeing.

Does this include STEEM/SBD burned through null beneficiary settings?

Another thought is that the existence of layer 2 tokens like steem-engine tokens & SMTs changes the analysis, too. If a single post can be flagged or ignored under one curation regime, but highly rewarded

Agreed. The trick lies in persuading a sufficient portion of voters that voting to attract or retain eyeballs can be far more valuable than a nominal increase in daily rewards of declining value. And yes,

This is a fair point: Do you think Youtube.com doesn't have circle jerks? I think one of the most popular video genres is probably "how to monetize your youtube video", and another is "Youtube

It seems like this "second price auction" would be a wonderful thing to try in a tribe or SMT. Come to think of it, vote negation could also just be applied to a tribe or SMT as well. Agreed.

I don't see the point, because of this: "Already possible with off-chain logic. If you write a good bot to oppose every action of a particular user, you can achieve the same effect, so why add an

Curious: aside from choosing different author/reward ratio splits on SMTs, might it also be possible to experiment with different rewards distribution algorithms? Specifically, as I have long advocated,

Over the past year, the EOS ecosystem (which employs a similar dPOS) model has had the leadership positions change from mostly community and independent developers to large exchanges Guess this makes sense.

Lucky that no one reads my STEEM posts! lol. Not quite no one. I hate proof-reading, too. I'm never satisfied, so I often wind up spending 3 or 4 times (or more) as long proof-reading as writing.
