RE: My Weird Ethical Considerations while Curating

in #fknmayhem-tumbls7 years ago (edited)

Ah, I see. Because without the original content, you wouldn't have posted anything. But then, if you hadn't posted your stuff, maybe the one you're featuring wouldn't have been spotted.

It's not as clear cut as a 50/50 split because your comments hypothetically add value, otherwise why would you provide additional content instead of just re-steeming?

But you don't know the value you add, because the community decides that. But there's no way for the community to indicate that on your post.

Well, the community can up vote you and then up vote the linked article, to indicate there was value, but it's a bit of a guessing game as to what the real division of value is.

So, make part of random.

Take the amount remaining after curation, split that 50/50. Then generate a random percentage to further remove from your cut and use to increase the amount going to the original post author. The ceiling of the random percent can be based on how much value you think you've added by providing both follower eye-balls and by adding your commentary.

Or roll dice...

Edit: You could actually write a python script to do the work for you after the payout happens. It could do the math on the post and do a transfer. It could even post a comment to the bottom (or the memo, or both) for more blatant disclosure of how much was sent for why.

Sort:  

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.

Imagine I have 100 posts/week.

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.
