RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues (Bounty Available!) - Sponsored by @carlgnash and @paulag!
I might go back to Tim Cliff's post on Saturday and go through the comments. I read the post, but there may be more information in the resulting discussions that will help with just what's going on with the Hard Fork. I can't believe I'm the only one with any knowledge or recollection of what that's supposed to do, and I would hope that someone else would bring it up. As it is, maybe it was rescinded and someone knows about that.
Without any of that information, though, my first glance feeling is, there are always unintended consequences, which would be basically wiping out all of the earnings of all of us plankton/smallish minnows, and then not really solve the intended issue of spam.
I trust your journalistic tendencies to find out all of the facts, but I do agree with your take on the "unintended consequences" for sure and I think a lot of people might just pack it in if that was the case.
After seeing another post about the dust threshold I ended up revisiting Tim Cliff's and asking some questions. Someone did mention HF 20 and the SP adjustment that will be coming to try to ward off spam among other things, which will also have an impact on smaller accounts regardless of what else might get implemented.
In replying to me a second time, it sounded like Tim was calling it. He said the idea was getting nowhere, so it dosen't sound like he wants to move forward with it without some support.
oh good. Thank you for doing the leg-work for me Glen; information that is good to know.
