my Steem2 prediction based on @dan 's old posts:
- he will have "proof of unique identity" (biometrics, oracles, civic key, community verification etc). Which means no sock puppets, no anonymous accounts.
- airdrop will be on Steem2 directly, and it will be 1 SP per day to each account ("1 share of Natural Resources") equally distributed to all verified accounts.
It will probably have a better name than Steem2 and thanks to the scalability research he's done the blockchain might be able to store not only text but also media.
"proof of unique identity" sounds really interesting, but I'd like to see how he'd go about doing that in a decentralized environment. Also don't be fooled to believe that will solve every problem we've previously been facing with alternate/faceless/anonymous/mass accounts. Whatever is going to be needed to verify someone will sooner or later be bought for less money than they'll eventually make with the platform. But it's interesting non the less and I'd really like to see what Steem could look like if upvote- and other bots wouldn't heavily skew what we get to see.
That is a good prediction... I can see the scalability part being true, the first one will turn off a lot of people, people who like to keep their privacy, not only the bad ones but the good ones as well.
yes those who wish to stay anonymous will remain on Steem or other platforms . But to have a system which is not rigged for monetization you need to have 1 account per person, and the only way to verify that is through Identification.
True!
Perhaps an anonymous solution could be offered as a tool for SMT Distributors in the least. The idea was floated in an old blog posting of mine. A link to the post is included below for your reading pleasure.
