RE: Learning to love the voting power equilibrium point change

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

If Bob votes six times a day, every day, for a while, should the system give Bob any voice at all? I feel the threshold is too low for that drought.

Sort:  

What do you mean? Bob, voting more than 5 times per day, is maximizing his voting influence under the new rules.

If he votes more than five times a day and regenerates five votes worth of voting power a day, his votes will count less and each day until he eventually runs out of voting power.

I know it seems like that, but that's not how it works. If you vote the same amount each day, you'll hit an equilibrium where your voting power is the same on each vote. This is because voting uses up a percentage of your voting power, not a fixed amount. So if you have less voting power, your next vote uses up less power.

I know how it works. ;)

That's true, as you get low on VP, each votes is worth less so you may use close to 20% in a day. Here's a plot with 20 votes a day in the new scheme.

Still, not convinced this is a good thing. I'll think more about it.

He'll recharge fully 100% each day, regardless of whether he voted or not. If he did NOT vote, then the spillover is wasted. It's like not getting rollover minutes on your cell phone. Spillover doesn't count.

No, he'll recharge fully 100% in five days. 20% each day.

@burnin are you sure? I must have misunderstood...
