RE: The Flattening AND 400% POWER, Thoughs on HF19
If the change in voting power turns out to be too much, there are a range of options to mitigate it. Front end changes can have an impact, as well as another voting policy similar to the one enforced by @abit and @smooth.
We're still in a move fast and break things stage, IMO. Giving every change enough time to have a rigorous analysis of the impact requires that we take years to make tiny changes. We don't have the luxury of that kind of time.
There's a lot of money in Steem currently(I'm basing this on the market cap). If we consider Steem to be a startup type company I agree we still need to take risks but a month - 2 month long buildup might be called for.
I think there is a big gap between 10 days and years. Also the more often we HF the smoother the process will end up anyway. (should we put the 2x - 4x in HF20)
Also asking for UI change from steemit.com is one thing not every frontend might be able to adapt as easily.
Also the more often we HF the more likely people will get use to it and the less fluctuation in value there will be leading up to a HF. If we again treat this like a startup being able to update frequently and stay up to date could be a huge advantage compared to other crypto.
What kind of useful data would you expect to see in 10 days? If you are measuring systemic issues they usually take longer to crop up.
Are you expecting a second fork in short succession?
Not data on the actual outcome but thought process by the community, stake holder and the witness on the change.
