RE: I Was Spammed by 800 Bots: Sybil Attacks and the Economics of Buying/Selling Votes
I'm a little confused about what you mean by filtering votes... Do you mean just hiding how many votes on the front-end? And if so, how would this prevent this spamming to occur on the hot list if they are still getting the votes from what the blockchain can tell?
Hi beanz, thanks for the comment. What I mean was that they could hide votes from low rep accounts. You've probably noticed that they already hide comments on some posts at the very bottom and you have to click to reveal the hidden comments. They could do the same with votes. As far as the hot list goes, there is already a plan to change the way it works so that the raw number of votes will not matter anymore. That way no one can buy 1000 votes and get to the top of the list.
Best,
Trogdor
Excellent idea. :)
