RE: An Experimental "3 Seconds Meeting" Of Every Whale And Steemian On The Steem Blockchain! Please Join Us!
I agree with you that:
- we need community features
- we need to balance the (voting) power in some way so that 1 individual cannot override 100s or even 1000s other individuals
All sort of solution are possible. Maybe some workflow in which 1 whale vote needs an ok from another whale to be ok-ed. Maybe it requires 2 other whales to ok the initial vote, up or downvote. Maybe whales should not be allowed to vote anymore. Maybe voting will not be rewarded in Steem/SP anymore (this will remove the bots from the network immediately). Maybe whales will be limited in voting power by setting a maximum voting power. Some are more challenging to build into the platform, some or less challenging.
All I know is that at this point in time we should somehow decide on how to move forward. I think (in more or less random order):
- the people from Steemit INC need to become part of the discussions, maybe even take the lead in the discussions and setup a program to exchange ideas and find a method to come to decisions; we (the community) can support on all levels and be active contributor to the discussions
- we need to test a set of ideas that we think are good for the platform
- we need to execute those tests and need to be managed by the Steemit INC people
- communication regarding all of this requires a special place within Steemit, eg some notice board and maybe even some notification to those subscribed to the notice board
- also a discussion board is required, again a special place where we can find the various topics and post and comments to those topics
- we all should stop talking bad about what is happening, but find solutions and communicate those to amongst us
- we all should have the same goal: make Steemit and Steem GREAT!
@dan issue distracted me just a bit but i am here now. You just resounded my thoughts fully. thank you reading and getting my gist. You do have all the solutions. One thing that would have helped in making solutions on steemit easy is like you said, a way to make clear, what is possible and not possible, then feedback and proposed solutions can be more defined. Too, we have not to entertain fears. before now, i will not come out in this type of post really. i did have fears. and this hides gems, like what you have here. Simple question can spark solution but i understand when people keep this redundant at the back of their heads as they entertain fears of reations from people with more power etc. i mean, would i have dared mentioning whales in my post before now? Definitely no. i will do that and be afraid of reading my replies for fear of something! lol
I think in a community like this (Steemit), based on transparency (blogs forever available without the change to change it through the blockchain technology), de-centralisation of power (at least the wish of many of us), 100% democracy (I suspect at least the wish for most/all of us), every voice no matter what is allowed and one shall not have any fear to bring this forward. When done with respect for everyone, even those who one does not agree with, shall not have any other consequences than positive attitude of everyone. In the guidelines for Steemit it is even mentioned to vote for any post that is good in the opinion of the reader, even those with ideas the reader does not agree to.
Please continue showing us your voice!
Excellent points! Positive possibilities. Please be invited to share these with others on Steemspeak where there is often conversation https://discordapp.com/channels/237364424103428108/237364424103428108. And please feel welcome to say hello with @Steemtrail. We are many curators who hope to see creators realize full appreciation of their efforts with Mighty STEEM. Captian Rick hosts a meetup every weekday around 7pm est/4pm pst. You can say hello and someone will greet you here: https://discordapp.com/channels/237494690100936704/237494690100936704.
I share these because they are meeting grounds for discussion. Sometimes there are different opinions, sometimes there is powerful momentum. But rags and riches, we are wealthy in humble effort to listen and grow.
Thank you for sharing your well thought out vision. STEEM on & Stay in touch friend.
I try and drop in one of these days. Thank you for the invite.
i am usually on discord, mostly weekends. i started out on steemspeak and steemspeak really helped me on my steemit journey. i spoke once or twice on steempeak, once with mughat and once with fyrstikken. also have been more recently on steemit talk podcast and votu. mostly weekends
i am speechless at how similar we are in these thoughts but i will be back to comment. You have covered many points. I will be back here in a bit!
