RE: A path toward proper distributions on Steem
The distribution problem is definitely a hard one to tackle. While there may initially appear to be solutions that solve these issues there are always creative attack vectors that bad actors can utilize while finding loopholes to those solutions.
Here's a possible attack against this solution:
- Create more accounts.
- Distribute Steem such that any vote is no larger than maximum allowed.
- Profit.
That being said, I always appreciate when members of the community bring ideas to the table so that we can discuss them. Eventually someone will make a breakthrough and then we can lead a campaign for positive change and fixing some of the issues that plague the blockchain.
Yes. Those are ways around the problem. But it will still force extra work. I think those ways around it fit into another form of abuse as well, which is fake accounts. I’m not sure there’s a way to solve that problem. But users who only vote on a small range of authors can be easily spotted. In general, I think it’s about creating a culture here where certain behavior is clearly recognized as hurting the platform, and others as benefiting it. Having a rule like this in place will guide the culture and make it known that the developers and community care about distribution ratios. It’ll build confidence in the platform overall. I believe.
