RE: Steemit Enhancement Proposal - Extend The Voting Period Over 30 Days By Implementing A "Hosting" Fee
Not necessarily. Voting will not influence the post itself. Technically it can be done, or that's what I understood.
"Voting will not influence the post itself"? I thought the whole point of Steem Power and voting was what made posts be worth somthing? Now I'm confused lol.
It's from a technical point of view. Voting will not modify the post, like editing it will do. Voting will just allocate a portion of the daily reward pool to the post author.
Oh I see what you mean. Modifying the actual post itself. Yeah I don't understand why everything is stored in ram for active posts and their votes. I used databases such as MySQL, SQLite and MongoDB before and they seem to utilize disk. Memory usually for indexes and temp things.
I know I was talking to someone about this on dev channel on Steemit Chat a few months ago. Whoever answered said it's because of the graph database. I was wanting to know why they said witnesses required ram would double at some point.
