RE: FFF-SOS 'Patient Zero' Petitions @randowhale
Then I don't know what he's complaining about, if he's enriching himself with a cut of the curation rewards that he's earning with other people's steempower. If this is true, I think he should turn off the @randowhale for a month or so and do exactly what he thinks the other two are doing.
Lets see what happens, lets see if the sky really does fall, or if there will be bad crops for seven years. Maybe nothing would happen?
He wouldn't even need to do it for a whole month, he could just try it out for a week, and try to measure the results. Ultimately, if he did do that, everyone else would simply need to up their game. It's all about competition, that's what it should be.
Steemit is an experiment, he should try that as an experiment. I wouldn't fault him for it.
P.S. wouldn't it be some clever shit if @randowhale and @haejin were gaslighting us all, polarizing us with this downvote war in order to draw in huge gains from both sides of the argument? If they aren't already, I probably just gave them the idea to. LOL
He not complaining about him not earning money, he is complaining about how one person can hold a massive % of the reward pool. If there were more than one harjin then the reward pool would be ruined. You are right steem is an experiment. I think they should bring back the posting punishment limit. After one post, you reward decreases exponentially. Say $1 post next 0.8
then 0.4 and so on.
But that brings even more problems. Like how about zaple or other blog systems.
This reward pool issue is the flaw of steem. Everyone has ideas of what to do but no one has a good answer without major cons. This is almost becoming like the bitcoin scaling issue. Bitcoin community was split and it officially split and created bitcoin cash.
Steem issue is the steem reward "scaling" issue. The community is getting split. One joins one side the other joins another. Exp in bitcoin, "spamming transactions aka transactions using min fees" were ok to big blocks bc they paid for it, small blocker said they were spam bc they went to the same address.
The reward pool issue is like this:
It ok for someone to take a % of the reward pool, he/she owns the steempower.
It not ok for one person to take a % of the reward pool, it only benefiting him and preventing more users form earnings.
As you see...it becoming something like the bitcoin scaling debate.
I don't want steemit to split let combine all our resources not divide and attack each other.
Or we might have steem fork
Steemcash anyone?
Thanks for your very thoughtful comments
on the matter @sames. Lots of things to ponder!
Hopefully the devs will read this thread and so some brainstorming about it.
I doubt it. dan "left" steemit for eos plus he and ned are fighting. Ned is doing SMT so he not doing shit about this problem. Any other dev...not much. Maybe we can do a UAHF, changing the system. But we need to find a solution frist
I picked bernie's side because I care about steemit. I want it around. I think it's good. I wish it protection. Regardless of why he's doing it (although I think it's for the same reason), I want to support him because it's good for steemit. I want to defend it
When someone wants the reward pool all to himself, repercussions will get to the point where investors move away from steemit, which dies without monetization incentive.
I hear you, I think censorship could cause people to leave, and investors not to invest. The post hiding, and dithering, and the comment collapsing, and dithering. That's something they could actually fix if they wanted, without causing too much controversy.
it's like I can tell you are intelligent @thoughts-in-time, but you don't know enough to know that what you are saying is sooo wrong.
Guess he also thinks Bernie is right.
Also FYI Haejin didn’t upvote you because he thinks of censorship, he only did it because @sneak had downvoted you 😘
And another FYI, haejin and Bernie did talk and even came to a truce awhile ago. They discussed it and found reasonable terms. But haejin didn’t uphold his side of the bargain. So rather than writing to Bernie, you might want to ask haejin about it 😅
Shouldn’t this be the right way for journalism? Investigation first. Then writing? Also Don’t forget to leave your preconceptions at the door!
