RE: 1UP - The Decentralized Solution To Distribute DTube's Steem Power To The Best Video Content Every Day
Thanks for the post @flauwy.
Interesting idea but it was my understanding that the manual upvote system that was put into place upon receiving the delegation was just temporary. Unless I am mistaken, I think they are going to convert to some type of automated system in the future.
But of course, I could be wrong.
Excellent idea....I like the part where the community is basically deciding what to upvote and the D.Tube vote will be based upon following that.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
I already talked with @heimindanger a while ago and he was considering integrating 1UP or a similar system directly into DTube, which would be great. he didn't clearly understand it by then and was sceptical about the intention and about trailing in general.
What I am trying to achieve here is to make 1UP independent of each platform itself to even increase decentralization on a level that it goes beyond the platform it works on. So if DTube would create its own system I would not stop and still put 1UP one level on top of it because it will just add another layer to it and would not be controllable by the platform because the platform itself will ALWAYS be centralized while the underlying - or in this case overlying - system remains decentralized.
But if we would work together and find a way of letting 1UP be independent while DTube puts its trust into this new voting system then even better. Either way, it will come and it will be great. :)
Well I am not a techie guy so following how this all works is beyond my level of comprehension.
But I do see your larger point of having a voting system that is decentralized beyond the control of the app itself. Is this a system that can overlay on top of any app created on this blockchain so that it is a one stop layer which fits all Steem based applications?
Technically, yes. But each app or community should get its own trail in order to guarantee the trailers that they are supporting a very specific use case/niche of the blockchain which they can identify best or what they think brings the greatest value to either themselves or Steem in its entirty.
