RE: An Unexpected Status Update For @berniesanders Upvote Bot @randowhale (+ next steps)
You know what I just thought about: Bots should be charged with a tax instead of locking them out completely. First you have to pay something like 2+2 SBD&Steem to get an access (and lock out Pakistanis with bot farms) and after that you have to pay a revenue based tax like 50% of all rewards you make with the bot. Payments are every day and before you only get access when the payment has been made.
The tax rate could be adapted to the overall bot activity and the tax money goes to steemit projects.
But then you have to verify it is a bot or not.
Wouldn't that work via the access point for bots? For apparent reasons, I had to look into it today and if you want to run a bot, you need the "steem module". That could be individualized and you get an access code if you pay a fee.
Registering to use the API goes back to me saying that only Steemit would get the upvote capability because it would be the only one with the correct key and secret to access it.
Centralize the decentralized network, place all the control in the single most INEPT AND INCOMPETENT ux/ui interface builder "STINC" and destroy the entire concept of a decentralized block chain in the doing, while in essence, chasing ghosts because you cannot tell what is a bot account or not in the first place in any possible way.
Wow the dumb ass misconceptions are strong here.
Okay.
What do you propose to kill the bots, that are destroying the entire system? Two-Factor authorization for each upvote? What would be the solution to eliminating the main annoyance with Steem and pretty much every social media out today?
Or is a decentralized network just a dream and it won't work in reality as shown with Steem.
