RE: A New Evil Plunders The Reward Pool
I think we a going to see more and more of this as time goes on. There is just too strong an incentive to upvote yourself. I agree with you in saying that the current system is not particularly fair, but its what we have at the moment unfortunately. We could remove the ability to upvote yourself, but people will simply set up voter accounts to bypass this minor inconvenience.
I don't know what the solution is, but I know a change needs to happen.
Great post mate.
Removing the ability to upvote oneself on Steemit would merely incentivise people to go to another platform that uses the same blockchain or, as you said, create more accounts so that they can keep on plundering through reciprocal upvoting.
I can't think of a solution that doesn't involve some degree of centralisation.
The n2 was removed to facilitate this, we are here by stinc's design.
I'm not familiar with this. Do you have a link?
I got this by using the search: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://steemit.com/steemit/%40steemitguide/steemit-hardfork-19-equality-overview-linear-rewards-curation-weight-curve-and-increased-vote-impact&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwi4h-GG1LrYAhUE6oMKHRqiAAYQFggGMAE&client=internal-uds-cse&cx=011445933062884569876:-jmpkfnkicw&usg=AOvVaw3j8GAz11cc0n1YOQ0bzKFF
Steemitguide and steemitblog should have posts.
The new word is sigmoid curve,..
I also cannot think of a solution that does not require some form of centralisation. To suggest centralisation on a platform built on the ideal of decentralised self government/regulation is treated as akin to blasphemy.
So we reach a catch 22. Decentralisation has created an anarchistic system that almost all involved agree is not working. Centralisation however is anathema to the ideals which most Steemians hold dear.
So we reach stalemate.
@aghunter, @ironshield, @jasonshick and @freebornsociety, I came across this really great post by @felixxx where he gives background information on n^2 and an idea for a solution. It's worth reading.
Thanks for the share. An interesting read.
