RE: Overhaul of Curation Rewards
There is still the n^2 rule which means that voting for yourself will cause you to earn below-average returns compared to voting for others. Writing a bot to "mine" for you by posting and voting on yourself is unlikely to be profitable because others will write counter-bots that negate the profits of anyone found attempting to milk the system in such a way.
To me the new rewards system isn't clearly described in the post. I don't see where voting is rewarded at all, aside from the active-once-per-day distribution. I guess what is not clear is what elements of the old mechanism are retained or modified.
Would you mind summarizing the new rewards mechanism without reference to the old one?
The problem is : by voting for others you will gain nothing at all, if nobody else votes for your comment. So how could voting for oneself be below-average?
I doubt there will be much 'counter-bots' which just be written to punish others. Haven't seen much incentive on that.
The incentive to vote for others is to reward them for producing content you value. If all you do is vote for yourself then you may get a token amount by milking the system, but you will be burning your reputation and not paying those who produce stuff you like.
Finally we have something that discourages milking behaviour and more on producing good content. +100!
If I have 2 accounts and the one account vote the other?
