RE: The Potential For The Steem Upvote
There's a lot here, but I just wanted to comment on one specific part for now:
It would be cool if the Steem/SBD from an upvote were deposited instantly into the authors account when one received an upvote
It purposely doesn't work like this because then it wouldn't be possible to have downvotes. If that happened people would be able to take huge advantage of the reward pool with no possible repercussions.
There could easily be a service that exchanges your votes for liquids with a % cut that depends on flags and price volatility. Say it could have a mining difficulty sort of function that changes the percentage depending on last week and total average and of course the service creators could take a fee too.
Good idea acidyo. The risk wouldn't be high; It would be for smaller payments for the most part. I am thinking digital items would be a nice start, that world is growing bigger and bigger and digital item cost can be in the pennies for some items.
I'll have a ginger beer
