RE: Is The Voting System For Steem Witnesses Unbalanced & Unfairly Skewed/Biased? Simple Improvements Might Make a Big Difference Here.
@ura-soul I have to say that one reason for the code not being accepted could be that the Block Chain is the solution of the problem, reaction, solution aspect of modern day society. In the real world money talks and the flag steempower aspect is no different. In fact in many ways the claim of being decentralization just doesn't reflect the facts.
The top down power structure.
The having to have a mobile phone number to join through s the anonymity right out the window.
Have to have an email which doesn't help the anonymity.
Human beings have to have just, fair and moral rules or the shit just hits the fan all the time. Such destroys the moral fiber of a society. Which may be the idea?
The change being discussed is to the code that runs 'condenser', which is the code behind the Steemit.com website and the witness voting page. Changes to this code do not require a hard fork or change to the steem blockchain.
There are certainly barriers to this system being truly decentralised, yes. However, until the software is changed to allow potentially every single computing device to play a role in computing the witness functions, there will always be a degree of centralisation. 'Hashgraph' technology is one that apparently might technically solve this problem.
I think it is a matter of changing peoples thinking which the repeated exposure to inequality does to the human mental physic . The truth is human being do not accept being treated like a fiction. The fact that the system doesn't support basic moral perimeters like free speech and the flagging inequality. Well that to me is the greatest danger for and of steemit.com. The damage to the social morals of society and the self image of individual users could spell the end of this awesome platform.
P.S I voted for you because of this specific issue and the fact that you have put yourself squarely in it. If you have checked out my blog you know so have I.
Great, thanks! I followed you.
In some senses, the injured psyche actually treats itself like a fiction and get stuck with various forms of self denial, which is partially what opens space for further abuse - this is why I focus on the intentions for healing, balancing and evolving. It's a long and challenging process we are undergoing, but it is necessary and there is nothing more honourable to aim for than peace, harmony and the associated loving enlightenment. :)
I totally agree with the aiming for peace, harmony and the associated loving enlightenment. In common law such is expressed as aiming for comity, peace, and security. Hence the constitution and the governance by consent. Contract law also embodies this in its attempt to provide conflict resolution.
A valid contract requires.
1)Full disclosure
2)Consent
Adherence to the none aggression principal. As in all parties must be willing participants.
Any application of force is evidence of no contract. A contract exist when it is paid.
One can see that really the none aggression principal runs all through society and it is the bases for comity, peach and security. In reality both parities have to willing produce their responsibilities per contract and the only thing that is at stake for each party is reputation. Which is funny because no one has control over what others think about them, but what you do and how you for fill your end of the contract is everything.
P.S @drakos I am unable to vote for because witness voting page in Steemit.com is not registering.
Ultimately, a high level of understanding (aka enlightenment) can lead beyond even contract rules to a state where we all know that life conditions are constantly changing and so we know that there is no real benefit in 'punishing' anyone for breach of a contract - we simply seek to understand the details of why the event occurred and thus we know more about the beings involved and whether or not to continue interacting with them. :)
