RE: Hardfork 21 - Steem Proposal System (SPS) + Economic Improvement Proposal (EIP)
One of your best counterpoints to those against the hardfork changes is ... it isn’t like it is working now! We need something different. I agree the hardfork is unlikely the perfect package but it is possibly better than what we have now and at worst it will just be more of the same. I am not exactly a fan of the mentality of “let’s just try it and see what happens” but at the same time we are just bleeding a slow death so let’s change it up. If it horrific, we can always go back or try something else.
My primary concern with the hardfork is getting proper funding for the Steem proposal system. We need that funded. I am ok with pulling it from inflation. We have to have it to stay competitive and keep this chain advancing, especially as other chains come along. So critical. How would you like to see the SPS funded?
I was personally leaning towards pulling a little bit from each of the three inflation sources (rewards pool, SP interest, and witness pay) so that the SPS had around 10% of the inflation. The consensus though seems to be more leaning towards just taking 10% from the rewards pool. Again, it's not my personal top choice - but I'm OK enough with it to support it if that is what everyone decides.
Kind of like how Congress always votes Congress a raise. Yeah, not expecting too many witnesses to volunteer themselves for a pay-cut, even if it would be the more "fair and balanced" way to go.
I was up for it, but again - the main thing was that it would affect backup witnesses too.
Yeah I know you said you support 1/3s, but I doubt a majority would vote to decrease their pay even if those below 20 were excluded. Such are our times.
