RE: Poll: Enhancing the "Mute" Feature

Twitter has both mute and block, they are separate functions. As well as 'report' which really should drive home the inherent differences in a centralized vs. decentralized system. As far as disable_comments,

RE: Follow-Up Poll: Expanding "Mute"

I still don't know if it is systemically good for the author to be able to unilaterally hide comments from (nearly) everyone. In practice most people won't dig through [muted by author] comments and can

RE: Poll: Enhancing the "Mute" Feature

There is a difference between one person being concerned about hidden opinions and the systemic effect of posters being able to unilaterally hide opinions from most of the readers. Defaults are powerful

FWIW the actual founder was some anonymous and very erratic person named 'thankful_for_today'. You can read about the rest of the history here I can't speak for Steemit Inc. Informally I would tend to

RE: HF21: Release Tagged!

Witness votes and therefore the elected witnesses can always change. There is no way to know for sure whether a hardfork is approved except to wait for the date and see what happens. That said, all of

RE: HF21: Release Tagged!

Can you summarize what you have seen over the course of using the EIP components on PALnet (or link somewhere if you have already done so). I think that would be useful information in evaluating this hardfork.

In the exchange section it says: Note that this is contingent on supermajority adoption by the Steem witnesses of the suggested upgrade, as is always the case with hardforks Exchanges (assuming they are

I'm not a founder of Monero. The core team self-organized from the community after the coin was already started by someone else, but that's a complicated story well-covered elsewhere. Steem's marketing

RE: Poll: Enhancing the "Mute" Feature

It works even if you have low SP, if others agree with you and concur with your downvote by also downvoting. We see that in practice quite a bit when it is clear that content is abusive. Maybe we'll see

the reward pool does not enter into the intellectual or creative property of the content in any way. Yes of course that is true. Property of the content itself is a separate matter to rewarding it out

In the literature they generally accept 51% for PoW but put a big * next to it Yes I was referring to Steem/DPoS which claims to achieve non-probabilistic finality, unlike PoW.

Their two votes alone get someone very close to the number 20 spot by themselves No they don't. The total is about 28 billion and it takes 59 billion to get to #20 (and #20 is pretty vulnerable too, if

RE: Our Plan for Onboarding the Masses

It isn't really clear it is possible to vote in 20 witnesses now (only steemit's stake is close, and may or may not quite be there, I'm not sure), and IMO the best solution to that would be try to increase

RE: Poll: Enhancing the "Mute" Feature

I think the case could be made that 'the right of regular users to mute and hide unwantes comments' should only apply on rewards-declined content. Otherwise, the rewards are coming from a shared rewards

RE: Follow-Up Poll: Expanding "Mute"

NO I don't think the features should be merged. Hiding from seeing (muting) is not the same as wanting to hide from replies on a blog (moderating). I think people being able to moderate their own blog
