RE: BEWARE - I'm FIGHTING Spam In My Comment Section From Now On
I don't have much power right now but part of my effort involves reaching out to spammers who I assume are actually people and telling them that I'll sign them up for my UBI if they stop spamming. Unfortunately without a team of people who speak the major languages of steemit I have quite a language barrier to overcome in many instances, google translate doesn't seem to work well at all for quite a few of the more popular languages on steemit. That and my SP is tiny and I have to compete with bid bots for delegations, rofl.
Sounds like quite the task before you. I really like the idea of trying to encourage them to go onto UBI - Are you working through something like Mannabase for that? Are you finding any willing to take you up on the offer?
I asked gtg about it and he said the only way it'd be feasible here is to do it on the blockchain as a feature of our coin, which makes sense and I think has been proposed by some others who want steem to be on the forefront of UBI. Personally I just have a list of autovoted persons for now, I asked mahdiyari of steemauto if he could implement something that would give a balanced amount of VP per day to everyone on a list and he said he could work on that, which I was extremely grateful for and will use immediately once it's out.
I looked into manna, I can see why they would want everyone's address to make sure people aren't UBI farming with multi-accounts, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a program that seems to have such an emphasis on a referral program (which skews the income to the spammiest people or those with already large social network reach, which I don't think is what a UBI should really aim for) and physical location data gathering, among some other things that make me go hmmmm. There are some other UBI coin projects out there and I should probably research them heavily, I do not like shilling coins or icos and would feel terrible if anyone got their security compromised etc. on one of my recommendations through a leaky wallet or something.
Yeah, there have been some, but my SP isn't attractive enough to make a lot of them reconsider their actions, or maybe they don't understand what I'm trying to say.
