RE: Cloak and dagger: Trusting anonymous
One of the reasons to remain anonymous on Steemit is the fact that wallets are publicly displayed. If I were a well-known Steemian, I wouldn't necessarily feel as safe walking down the street with people knowing how much money I had in my digital wallet. There's a difference between people knowing that you're wealthy and people knowing how much you're wealthy. I think it ads a tangibility that can encourage bad behavior. Just one narrow point of view on a complex topic.
Yes, these discussions have come up before in regards to hiding the wallet etc but, it goes against the concept of the experiment.
What do you mean by "It goes against the concept of the experiment?" Is it that specific as to measure what happens to people's interactions when they can see the worth of the other individuals around them? I was under the impression that it was broader in scope. Then again, I haven't read the whitepaper for Steem.
