RE: [UPDATED] Epic Dice shut down due to witness cheating

Literally everyone can be a witness. All you need to do is download the and run the steemd code and vote for yourself. Your ranking will be low but you'll be a witness.

Not unforeseen. These types of vulnerabilities are well-known for years, and I've personally advised people building games about them. The developers of this game are either incompetent or knew about the

RE: #NewSteem is Live

It is largely the aspects of voting that make it an easy way to accomplish one-to-one interaction which also make it easily abused for all the bad things you mentioned. So there is no free lunch. Yeah

RE: #NewSteem is Live

One way to address the issue of microrewards and one-to-one interaction is with tipping and tip bots. They're pretty common in some other crypto communities but not so much on Steem.

There isn't really a single "full strength" any more. Near 20 the votes will have "average" strength (in practice this applies for some range both above and below 20). Below 20 they

RE: #NewSteem is Live

Votes don't have a constant value any more. It depends on the amount of stake (SP) voting on a particular item of content. When making a small vote on an unvoted item, the value will appear smaller and

We already covered this in the sibling reply thread. Yes it is easy to do which means many people will be doing it (in fact already are today, but with the higher starting rewards competition will likely

People will go where the money is sure. Some will focus on gaming this aspect but that offers a benefit to everyone else when the rewards are returned to the pool. Early votes on known-payout content reduces

RE: Hardfork 21 Tomorrow

You snipe at 5 minutes. Now someone else snipes at 4:57. They only give up 1% of rewards but gain far more than that by being ahead of you. You now decide it is worth it to snipe at 4:54. Repeat. As a

RE: Hardfork 21 Tomorrow

It seems like there is very likely to be a vote sniping contest to see who can do the autovoting at the optimal time. We shall see. Absolutely. That is by design.

RE: Support Steem.DAO: Return Proposal

If I can leave my proposal open forever the page is going to get cluttered Yes I agree. That's why I think the anti-spam fee should have a time component. Perhaps there is a role for multi-year proposals,

If you are able to get in early, sure. But it won't be at the top of trending at that point or even near it. autovote their next posts after 5 minutes. No doubt there will be others competing to do the

RE: Support Steem.DAO: Return Proposal

That's part of the proposal, and I don't know if there is a hard limit. Personally I think this is actually a weakness in the system. There is a 10 SBD fee per proposal to reduce spam, but very long-lived

RE: Hardfork 21 Tomorrow

You don't win by upvoting whatever is already at the top of trending. In fact you'll probably get very little for that because curation rewards come from votes after yours.

RE: Support Steem.DAO: Return Proposal

You can change your votes whenever you want. If a live proposal is high enough in the rankings during the hourly payout, it gets funded, if it drops down, funding is cut off. Like witnesses.

RE: Support Steem.DAO: Return Proposal

I think it is going to be important for large stakeholders to be able to make a partial weighted vote (via a code enhancement/future fork). Currently the only way to vote proposals up and down is with
