RE: Resource Credit Delegation Being Worked On
Hey, @taskmater4450.
In your example of the major publication, aside from wondering what lures them here in the first place when they find out they have to buy in for 25,000 SP, and then lease another two million, the question is, who's going to interact with their publication?
I mean, those of us who are here and capable of functioning can, but will 50,000-plus potential daily users be enough to get them here, when the majority of that 50,000-plus can't really do much?
I imagine the premise is based on hundreds of thousands of daily users, though, all of which would need to be able to function. That's currently not happening, and at the current cost of claiming accounts, the floodgates are yet to open, anyway.
I understand this major publication is a hypothetical somewhere down the road, when the situation at present is resolved. I just hope the RC deficit for the newer accounts can get taken are of quickly.
They might pick up some from here but the main attraction is to be able to tokenize their content for their existing viewers/readers/commenter. Imagine how many a publication like the Hugginton Post or WSJ has.
I imagine the cost of claiming accounts is going to drop. You are right, at the current level, growth will be painfully slow.
Okay. So, that sounds like you're talking about a publication setting up a SMT rather than actually setting up shop on the blockchain, like a normal user Steemit account. That I could see working quite well. I was understanding you to say that they would actually set up a blog on the blockchain. My bad. Makes much more sense, and they probably could get some of the readers to set up STEEM accounts solely based on the idea of being rewarded for curation or commenting, or however that would be set up.
They would probably be inclined to claim account for members, too, but would need even more SP leased to accomplish that with any great alacrity. I guess if the price is coming down, that will help all across the board.
Yes the existing site exists how it is, just a token is created using the SMT...lets say the HUFF. Users going to the same URL just when they comment on that site, it contains the same content/reward system we have here.
Of course, to get paid, all the users will have to have a registered Steem account. This is where the numbers can grow quickly. How many commenters are on a site like Huffington Post (Or WSJ, NY Times, CNN, or any other media site) and how many readers who might comment if they saw money being made?
Yes, the Huff account would have to set up the user accounts. That is why it is A)imperative to know the costs and B) for the prices to be adjusted to under a gazallion RC per account claim.
But the basic premise is starting to form at least.
