RE: Crypto & Cardio #5 - Mo' complexity, mo' problems (Account Based vs Stake Weighed voting)
I think interaction is a good indicator. However I've noticed that people try to "game" interaction as well with fake comments etc.
It is tough because whether it's account based, stake based or interactive based, a qualitative assessment is needed to determine whether someone is genuine or trying to game the system for financial rewards. It's always going to be an imprecise science.
I like the premise of stake-weighted voting because the community members who are most invested in the success of the platform have the most influence over that assessment. If they get it wrong, it's there investment on the line.
I am only around here since Jan of this year. So still lots to learn and don't know the solution either. But no matter what solution it will be, people will find some mazes in the net and still will game the system. Only because money is involved!
We are now 2 months far with our Steem Sport Betting Community (@sbcbot) and I did underestimate how much time and effort it costs to set up a community full of genuine people. We are trying to educate them regarding steem, the quality of posting and trying to give them a push in the back! And we do see that some even there are trying to game the system. People now knowing what sports betting is, are trying to get an upvote from the bot. It is good that they have to get whitelisted to score upvotes.
What also bothers me, is that lots of the newcomers are only interested in interacting with the founders and not their peers, while this is our ultimate goal. But since this week we are seeing some changes and it is great to see that the discord channel is more lively everyday!
So, yes communities could be a future. But a community only gives the people a platform to interact with each other and to find peers. It is up to the community members who they use it!
Thanks for the reply.
Cheers,
