RE: Hive Communities: An Interview w/Steemit's Senior Product Engineer
Very much looking forward to communities and agree that they will play a crucial role in content discovery and platform engagement. Quoc and Eon definitely deserve recognition for their contributions.

RE: Bring back bots! Steem-Engine is a bigger menace!
I have nothing against alt coins. The market can decide what they're worth. I'm against alt coins being used to buy votes on here. Not only do they serve to undermine honest voting like all other forms

RE: BUILDTEAM: Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy - BURNPOST Challenge inside!
The reward pool doesn't empty It comes from inflation, the currency increases at a certain rate, around 8%pa right now, but goes down over time. About 65% of that goes into the reward pool split 50/50

RE: BUILDTEAM: Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy - BURNPOST Challenge inside!
Yes. Basically these practices all share something in common: they're content indifferent voting behavior. When you vote on your own post farms, or swap votes, or sell votes, you don't care about the content

No you're not taking part in abusive behavior if you're just automatically voting for people who you've consider to have built a reputation for decent quality content over time and trust their upcoming

RE: Moving on: will wait to see how these new movements work out
Just to also clarify, it's not just a matter of trending as money going through votes that are being bought are by definition not going towards rewarding content creators whose content alone are deserving

RE: Do you think Palnet "holds no value" and disagree with minnowsupport bot?
They're still written on chain, but through custom json But your point stands that they don't have to be written on chain I don't think it's trivially easy to create a vote selling service with very far

RE: Do you think Palnet "holds no value" and disagree with minnowsupport bot?
For now SCT and Steemmonsters are operating almost entirely on vote selling through alt coins and a few self/affiliate votes. Maybe there are a few more. They've been getting away with a lot as most of

You can't detect it precisely unless you're the voter yourself, in which case you know pretty well if it's the content influencing your decision or not (eg if they're paying you to vote on their post,

They're not being downvoted because of whatever alleged good they're doing. They're being downvoted because of vote selling. As I explained, it completely undermines the ability for us to function as a

Don't buy and sell votes, it undermines honest voting. Content creators are competing for the attention of stakeholders in a level playing field. Paying for votes completely defeats the process of rewarding
