RE: chainBB forum and the 7-day revenue window: some thoughts
Thanks very much, just the info to bring me up to speed. And thanks for taking the time.
So the idea is fundamentally sound. I suspect every blockchain will come up against scalability and then latency issues.
Do you know what exactly the technical difficulty is? and where I can read up on it? Isn't a new 7-day period the same as a fresh post, from the blockchain pow?
I'm not a programmer, but I have de-coded crap algorithms - it's the maths puzzle I enjoy.
Summer "holiday" coming soon, so can have a hard problem to play with :-)
Also, 7 days is so short it encourages news-flash posts rather than thoughtful articles. I see that Steemit has many posts about itself - it is still young - but looking out towards vast topics such as medicine and education, they need a mixture of news and updated analysis and sound advice. Sounds like you know all of this. Glad to be of help when I can.
Honestly I don't, and I was asking the same questions. Whatever stress having a 2nd payout period initiate is no worse than someone just posting a new post. It could be argued that it would be less intense.
I think it's probably just not high on their priorities, but I can't speak to that. There's really not a good place besides github or random steemit posts to catch up on these things. I'm hoping to bring a bit of order to that with these forums :)
