Without the benefit of 50% of that being distributed to creators As has been explained to you many times, the benefit of that 50% is being distributed to HBD stabilizer and then to DHF, where it then goes

Yes that is exactly what happened.

and the hbdstabilizer project only applies downward pressure This is completely and utterly wrong. By design, the stabilizer applies pressure in both directions, but, in practice, it is actually the reward

What happens to the economics of the game if the HBD interest rate drops a lot, potentially to zero? This is a what-if, not suggesting that I think this is likely to happen soon if at all, but it can't

You don't get half right away on HBD->HIVE conversion. In that direction you have to wait the 3.5 days for all of it.

I don't think you'll lose that much if you are a little careful. Stabilizer buys and sells a lot without much slippage. If there was a lot of slippage it's job would be easier. Mostly the arbitrage bots

You might not get interest on such a low amount, since it may round down. I'm not sure how that works.

Resource credits have their own pool, and the RC "price" needed to perform operations on the adjusts dynamically. If the supply of HIVE/HP were to contract a lot, it is entirely possible that

I think the Block size could easily increase or become dynamic? Maybe? Would still requiring processing that data in real time (every 3 seconds). Happy new year to you as well!

if hive hits for example 400$ each, witness earnings would allow much more computing power for scaling Possibly but there can be bottlenecks that are more tied to the software architecture which don't

I don't agree with the framing of downvotes as a "stick". Downvotes and upvotes are voting where stakeholders want the rewards to go. Where stakeholders agree, the rewards flow, where stakeholders

One thing I've suggested is to route all the inflation (except maybe some or all of witness rewards, which are needed for operational security) through DHF. Stakeholders could then vote a desired amount

That looks about right to me. Summary: All of the rewards for @hbd.funder go to @hbdstabilizer and everything in @hbdstabilizer goes back to DHF to fund further projects (after being used to trade overpriced

depending on what the richest people want It's not really what "the richest" want. There are probably people richer than me with smaller stakes and who knows I might be richer than some of the

The current authors of the Hive Whitepaper Heh, I don't think I've ever seen it, but I likely don't agree with all of it. Steemit inc's marketing guy [was] totally unprepared for the role he was Well yeah,

It is answered in @blocktrades comments within the referenced thread.

I agree it is not Steem but I don't agree that means the entire subjective rewarding pool concept has been transformed into all content and nothing but content. That never happened. What if a bunch of

curating usually spreads stake out - by giving it to the authors DHF give funds to developers, marketers, some sort of charity thing I'm not familiar with, etc. which also spreads stake out, to the extent

In any case, I don't think having the author rewards pool returned to the proposals pool in a way that bypasses witness consensus is in the spirit of how Hive is designed There is nothing in the "spirit

That's not correct. First, it isn't true that only a few accounts decide where DHF funds go. If you look at the level of voting necessary to fund something, it is far more than a few accounts. It takes
