“Eliminating “abuse” is not possible and shouldn’t be the goal. Even those who are attempting to “abuse” the system are still doing work. Any compensation they get for their successful attempts at abuse

"I appreciate very much you not blocking me LOL." I wouldn’t if I could, it’s fun to exchange ideas and or spar with you from time to time. Who knows, perhaps we’re both a little right and a

We shall see. I'm curious to see if and when BTC moon, where the smart money is going to go. To a downvote-centric based platform or one that doesn't encourage that type of behavior.

I'll have to look into that algo.

Damn, you seem pretty certain moon in a year or so. Does this have to do with BTC, and the rumors it will? Also, post cap seems more desirable at first glance than free flags and forever flag wars. However,

That was kind of you, thank you @bdvoter.cur!

You'll never have a successful social media platform that allows people to snipe value from each other. Arrrrgh, everybody's a pirate now. Reward pool rapists and reward rapists alike. Everyone is sailing

I don't pretend that people are not bias. If a self-voter creates a quality post and self votes it, it's not necessarily vanity. If a self-voter creates a shit post and self votes it they may feel entitled

If a sorting system is implemented like the one I suggested. One equal vote per IP address (and per post) up or down to sort content only, that will result in a trending fix. It will highlight only the

Well it would have been smart if they used their stake to delegate to communities. Yet they were wise to bail when people started talking about forking them out of their stake.

The free downvotes and encouraging that they are used liberally is the cancer. It's creating an undesirable atmosphere. I agree with what planter said tbh. "Self votes are cancer in society. We see

"The current EIP is so focused on stopping abuse, which our own white paper tells us we shouldn't be focusing on, that it is hurting growth." Even worse, I think it's hurting retention too. "The

"I followed your replies, you speak a lot of truth." Thank you. "To me it simply comes down to economics... and a system where the more you buy the more you earn sounds a lot more sustainable

Oh please do, I'd love to read'em!

Well, it would have been wise of Steem to delegate to communities. However, that ship floated the fuck off after the villagers armed with torches and pitchforks threatened to fork them out of their money.

"I've never seen a better example of a strawman. Please point to any example of anyone ever demanding equal outcome that has anything to do with Steem." Well now, isn't that what the #newsteem

On the blockchain, the code is the law of the jungle, and the people with their voting actions are the artificial law. The people refer to the whitepaper for some guidance or direction on how to impose

Ha, I love this song, and it's the first time I heard it. Keeping to deep subjects here's one for you.
