Steem experiment

The @burnpost initiative has steady gained support and is currently systematically receiving rewards of regarding $500-$600 (displayed post value) per day. many thanks to any or all of the supporters WHO have created this potential.

We have frequently oversubscribed all of the reward SBD on the inner marketplace for STEEM, serving to to exert downward value pressure on SBD toward the $1 peg (along with upward value pressure on STEEM), and have power-driven up a complete of regarding 11000 SP (currently value regarding $33000). This stash of powered-up SP is supporting downvote-only initiatives to assist counter the foremost harmful abuse (at least in terms of blockchain cost) high volume self-rewarded spam.

Finally this has helped 'drain the swamp' by directional rewards removed from the vote-buying, bid bots, circle jerks, and different wasteful nonsense that's progressively commencing to dominate the platform, and instead toward goals that area unit clearly of profit to any or all stakeholders and so the whole platform: selected shopping for and burning to extend the worth of STEEM; increasing the STEEM market cap; harnessing voluntary vote support and economic process to enhance the performance (even if solely marginally thus far) of the SBD peg, creating it additional helpful and reducing the imbalances (such as negligible curation rewards) caused by overvalued SBD; and at last serving to to prevent spammers and similar kinds of clear abuse.

As a reminder, once SBD declines back to $1 or below, the STEEM received by @burnpost (including all post rewards that have thus far been power-driven up) are going to be power-driven down and/or burned by causation to @null. None of the coins received by @burnpost can ever be oversubscribed or otherwise distributed. they're irrevocably selected for burning.

If @burnpost rewards stay systematically on top of $500 (displayed) every, i will be able to before long expand the initiative to create one post per twelve hours rather than one post per twenty four hours. Supporters area unit welcome to support one, both, or neither of those posts (all votes area unit welcome and appreciated), however by making 2 posts this enables those stakeholders WHO want to take favor of the @burnpost goals to optionally increase their current rate of support.
