RE: Did You Know: When you post using eSteem, 5% of rewards are disbursed to @esteemapp? Also, Self Voting Witnesses - a slippery slope, or a level playing field?

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

The most important thing was to show everyone, the in-app notification of this distribution being part of the app.

You completely disregard the clear multi-party prisoner's dilemma in the ability of top witnesses to vote for each other. Equilibrium will tend towards everyone snitching (voting) with this dynamic, and combined with escalating vote power, it is very very high inertia. Not what an election should be, at all. The opportunity for consolidation and centralisation by those who mutually vote, is the inevitable equilibrium.

I run NiceHash miner. Some miners, like your app, divert a portion of the mining earnings to the author. The warning message is very obtrusive.

You are a liar, like the rest of them, hoping that nobody will look closely enough to figure out the racket this whole thing is. But I'm not just gonna run away. I'm gonna dig up such fantastically comprehensive dirt on all of you. Then when it's buzzing around the torrents, I'll leave it to someone else to drive the nails I made for them.

Why was this comment flagged?

Because I have threatened to expose them.

But actually, to be honest, I think I already did, and there's no reason for me to go any further. Job done :) Time to go home and have some dinner.

I think it was because you straight up called @good-karma a liar

Hate Speech, I suppose.

Well, since I consider eSteem to be speech, and a lack of 'you must agree to me taxing you' is an omission, a form of lie, I think that my label fits the technical, legal definition.

What kind of mickey mouse software development operation doesn't think to put a 'agree to us taxing your rewards' message as a part of the initial setup process?

He's free to flag me as much as he likes, it doesn't change the facts, burned into the blockchain and copied to scores of computers, faithtfully, and the hidden code in his application, that shows nothing to a user, faithfully also recorded by github's servers.

Someone has to call it, or the cumulation of errors will continue, to the detriment of everyone.
