RE: Fixing DMania - A Compromise "To Leave Both Parties Equally Unsatisfied"
Won't this make it so that whales only get bigger and that minnows have an even harder time? I don't care myself and am not on Dmania personally but I imagine this question may come up from smaller accounts.
Also, there is something counter intiutive to having a platform for memes that favors big investors... I mean... memes, are usually crappy. Not something that I would put a monetary pre-requisite into the thousands for.
I think a more fundamental solution is required from the steem devs... But I fear that we won't see any movement until competition arrives to give STEEM a run for it's money.
I don't think any whales are materially increasing their stake from Dmania.
This is simply to prevent people who add nothing to the platform from profiting and cashing out at low effort.
We're not really favoring big investors, just locking out those who contribute nothing. Have you looked at the size of the Dmania vote lately? Low percentages are not low reward.
"solution is required from the steem devs... But I fear that we won't see any movement"
Hence the need for suggesting such imperfect measures.
Incidentally, the numbers are arbitrary. You could cap it at 5000SP, or 1000SP. This would still knock out the vast majority of "abusers".
That's true, I'm sure many of the abusers have literally no SP. Hell, even just implement a 10 SP minimum might do quite something to combat this abuse
