IDEA : Upvote a Post and Earn an Equal Amount of the Rewards from the Post. How do we do it?
I was just thinking about this, so I'm going to type it up while I think ...
It would be cool if someone created a bot that made a post from an account that would later payout an equal amount of the rewards to all that upvoted the post. But then we'd have to trust the bot creator. So it would really be no different than if an individual did it as long as everyone trusted that individual would follow through with the payouts on 7/4.
Another way it could be done is as a lotto where 1 person or several people from everyone who upvoted the post could "win" all or a percentage of all rewards (I guess just the SBD's would be payable) from the post. This could be manually done by the individual poster or more easily (I guess) by a bot that was programmed to handle everything.
Regardless of how it was accomplished, I think it would be a really cool way to spread some of the bootstrapping funds to everyone equally. So I feel it would be best if Dan or Ned (or someone they trust) were to handle it, if they felt it was a good idea of course.
Perhaps I'm way off base with this idea, but again I'm just thinking out loud here and trying to get the idea rolling and hope others, who were gifted with far more brainpower than I, can add to this and improve upon the idea. I'm sure there may be some caveats to this approach, but again I'm not smart enough to think that far ahead. ;)
I just thought it would be a cool way to spread some SBD's to everyone here and it would likely end up being the highest voted post off all time (to date) on Steemit; not to mention the highest rewarded post! Which is why we need someone trusted by the Community to handle it. I doubt I have earned that kind of trust with you guys/gals so I'm just throwing the idea out there for someone else to take it from here.
What do you think? Is it a horrible idea? Would it work? Is it even worth it? What are the pitfalls? Are there any pitfalls? Would Bernie Sanders approve? ;)
If you're paying out equally per account it probably wouldn't work too well as there is no limit to how many accounts any one individual may possess.
Ahh yes. See that's why we need people like you here to set my dumb ideas straight. :)
So how do we do this, winner takes all? Randomly chosen n accounts, percentage based payouts for a select few?
If there's any reward to that post @tuck-fheman should gave them all to you.
Why not you? Why not the next guy/gal that post? Why not randomly select the winner? Why not split it between several people?
We're already giving away the vast majority of the SBD earnings to others from this account. All rewards for articles from others will be donated to the author in Bitcoin (or SBD's hopefully) in an effort to bring them to Steemit. A post I made the other day, rewarded $7,200 (currently) will be split between the people who helped me make the post by sharing their knowledge. That's what gave me this idea in the first place. :)
If only there was a way to verify who owned an account. Someone should invent something called "Keyhotee"! ;)
But, M$ is going to save us all apparently. :/
