RE: STEEM Is Not A Social Media Platform
Fully agreed. Steem is a versatile blockchain and social network is just the first application. Many people focus too much on the "proof of brain" aspect of it but Steem can be used for much more.
I haven't joined when Dan posted that piece, thanks for sharing!
Hey, @culgin.
re: Dan
I dare say the vast majority of us weren't here when that piece was written, so there's all kinds of education that needs to take place. Unfortunately, there's not a good way to go about that in a decentralized system, although people are definitely trying to get the steem onboarding going.
re: proof of brain
I know I've contributed to the working the margins, but I guess I'm done with it. Should have been done with it a long time ago. We might see improvements on the social side of things, but ultimately, we're not going to see improvement in STEEM until the people still on the outside see something of value here, and haggling over payment splits isn't what they're looking for. :)
Well @glenalbrethsen, I was already here when that piece of Dan was written!!
And yeah mate, I am the member number 51,069 here on the steem blockchain. And certainly I've seen & heard about so many promises, hopes, projects, essays, things & a bunch of great stuff to build here... that without a doubt we must keep laughing or see these crystalized pretty soon. };)
Hey, @por500bolos.
Well, cool that you managed to stick it out this long. Not many, relatively speaking, have, and most have lasted far less.
So, I've been asking this question around for a while now with no response. Maybe you can help.
What I'm hoping to find out is, why was the split changed from 50/50 to 75/25, and why did the curve go all the way to linear? What was happening at the time that seemed to warrant such a change? And what has changed that would warrant going back to former and tweaking the latter?
Thank you for your reply @glenalbrethsen. :)
Well, right now from the tip of my memory I don't exactly recall the reasons of those early changes in the percentage between authors and curation rewards, The steemit Inc. and witness consensus policy at the time. And all the math involved within the algorithms to modify the linear curve inside. I think those changes were established around the HF18 if I'm not wrong.
In an optimal & regular situation I would be able to quickly look for that info just for you. But unfortunately from two weeks ago my life has become upside down and my researching tech resources now are very limited. Excuse me about that.
Maybe with some mental peace and calmness soon, I could be able to remember something relevant and useful to answer your question. :)
