RE: A solution to the downvoting/flagging problems on Steemit
I still like my old Amazon review star system idea:

As dwinblood answered that question of why I agree with him.
For example, making a system for creating content brings about the problems of spam, plagiarizing and abuse in other forms, so to deal with that there needs to be a way to either hide such content or outright remove it. In creating a system that offers people ability to vote over rewards for content there needs to be a way to deal with those gaming the system for their own ends. That is why with just a upvote only system it can only work if there is no rewards incentivizing others to game for their own ends, and even then it can be abused, marginally but still abused by sibyl accounts.
For some it's hard to deal with the reality that only guns can protect us from people with guns, and no amount of bulletproofness will suffice to deincentivize a would be attacker, only a gun will. I realize that what my system does is basically put a bunch of loaded guns on the table, which turns off most unwilling to look at the gun as a tool that is just as useful as it can be abused.
This problem seems as intractable as trying to convert a DASH disciple to Steemit! I don't know which is tricker??
I don't want to attempt any kind of conversion, but clearly DASH doesn't deal with content and it's inherent problems.
I've just this second put down my spoon to your egg analogy. The war is over. Let my philosophy slowly sink into her ... or not!! Thanks for all your support to this old <3 :)
As do the other 99.9% of cryptos as well. That is why their disciples are so vociferous! ... there is just a coin ... and PrivacySend ... and a credit card ... and a HUGE Darkcoin pre-mine!
