Thanks for sharing.

I have long hated the way DVs can so easily end up being weaponized. And, I've always hated the collateral damage that can result from a DV war between whales.

I noticed a year ago that your posts were being consistently nuked and that you had greatly curtailed your posting frequency as a result. As a fellow nerd, I always enjoyed your posts and found them informative and helpful. As such, I was sad to see them become so infrequent.

I have done a LOT of contemplation about the various issues related to on-chain abuse and past and current anti-abuse efforts. I have also dialogued a LOT with a lot of great Hivers about this issue, many who generally agree with me and some, like yourself, who have generally expressed disagreement with my points of view.

In any event, I plan to publish a post soon that will detail multiple different approaches that might help mitigate the problem of DV weaponization, while maintaining adequate protection against other forms of on-chain abuse, such as bot-nets, comment farming, spam and the like.

I am optimistic and hopeful that we can improve the situation considerably, with some relatively minor changes.
