what do you think about retaliation flags? They will always be a problem to some extent, and they might get worse under the new proposal. I think there should be an elected committee with lots of delegated

In their current form, 100% yes. The part of the proposal that is really hard to have a discussion about is expected user behavior. It is impossible to predict, and everyone has their own opinions based

I am not presenting evidence because I don’t have any. I’m not trying to argue with you and say you are wrong and I am right. I am basing my decision on my own observations and understanding of how the

I am skeptical too. I’m not going to sit here and try to promise that this will fix all our problems. The best I can do is explain what the changes are and what our desired (and hopefully expected) results

Sorry, I see now that your question is getting at something different.. The short answer is downvoting. Whether stakeholders will actually start to clean things up after the right incentives are in place

I prefer to have a smaller part of a huge cake. :) That is where we are trying to go with the package of changes. Any why would it increase the STEEM price to seek and upvote posts from new and unknown

Yes, curation will pay higher, which will mean less percentage wise for authors. Also, a portion of the author/curator inflation will be redirected into the SPS fund. I'm trying to see big picture here,

If investors don't want to buy STEEM, then the percentage that we give to authors doesn't matter. Authors could get 100%, but the tokens would be worthless. The only reason the rewards have value is because

Yep, agreed. It has been brought up and discussed before. It is one of those things that a lot of people agree would be nice to have, but probably won’t be a super high priority for a while.

Smooth added some additional clarification in response to my thread on this comment.

I share a lot of your optimism. I hope you are right :) a POS mining platform Wouldn't a POS "mining" platform that encouraged users to "mine" via curation be beneficial in a similar
