RE: My Weird Ethical Considerations while Curating
You got it, @not-a-bird. It’s entirely different in each case depending on how much commentary I add. Right now the account has little following but that can of course change with time.
The beneficiary setting in the steem blockchain allows the rewards on a post to be directly distributed to whichever account is set there to the percentage stated. It’s how apps like dmania (25%), esteem (5%) and Utopian (~22% for backers of bot and mods combined) work/earn. If we had it in the interface one could easily decide how much for each post, just like you can with upvote slider.
Once that is set it’s in the chain and can’t be changed anymore btw. Why would I use that? Well... because I’m lazy. A nice part of automation. Imagine I have 100 posts/week. I’m not going to manually do that and send to OPs each day.
That's why I was thinking it could be automated with a python script... but now I'm wondering if maybe someone should create a nice fat client for steem using Java or something so that it could have a decent UI and support all these features without having to wait for the steemit web site to add them... but I suppose that would lead to an ugly fat client with too many options that would just confuse and confound... I wonder if anyone has created something like this to aid in curation.
I suppose the easiest solution is just to wait for a steemit update and hope that all the manual stuff in the mean time doesn't become too cumbersome.
I think @netuoso is working on it. Most recent shares have also been posted via https://mspsteem.com which has 5% beneficiary set, within the interface's parameters, to directly go to the Minnow Support Project (msp).
I’m thinking if netuoso test runs the integration of it, we will first see it on mspsteem before it becomes a condenser pull request.
