RE: Replacing Bandwidth On The Steem Blockchain With Resource Credits - What Is This And Why Do You Need To Know About It
I like the idea behind RCs. I'm wondering, though, if those with high SP who have nearly all of their SP in delegation will be affected by this, or if it will act similarly to how voting for witnesses work, with no ill effect whatsoever.
I have my own opinions about delegation, but if this causes those who are basically operating at 50 SP or less because the rest is delegated to have problems interacting with the blockchain, if they're inclined (and many don't), then I wonder if that will have any impact on delegation and activity on the blockchain in general.
In addition, in reading through the couple of posts talking about RCs when they came out, I don't remember how this will affect new accounts. Lately they've been receiving less SP and more delegation to start. With RCs, will they have sufficient SP to start with to get going?
What does "get a glimpse" mean though? Literally just seeing it working, like looking in a window from outside without really being able to participate? Or be able to post, comment, upvote, etc. but only about the same amount new accounts can now?
This is a vitally important point, because if you both restrict the ability of new people to participate unless they are able to buy STEEM, and simultaneously make it really obvious that different people get to participate different amounts based solely on how much money they have (SP that is not delegated to them), it could really stifle growth for the platform.
