RE: Response to : The Rise of Identity Theft on Steemit. Here's my solution to the problem! @anyx @ned @dan
Interesting, but at this point i think its way too early to start governing the platform. More importantly at this moment, the platform has to scale better, so 100.000+ people can join immediately.
You dont have to put any new systems in place. If there is a celebrity or someone with 100K+ followers, they already have a Facebook account.
So very easy solution, if i signup as LL COOL J, i have to use that official Facebook account, which is very easy to verify. No need for extra verification through Steemit, as Facebook already did that.
Now for KYC/ AML purposes, oneday Steemit will have to implement limits on how much you can send in and out. At the moment you can just circle money around without any limits on Steemit, so that wont last long from market regulator Standpoints (i dont know which platform is white-labelled for the wallets inside, but i am pretty sure, that withdrawals with more than 2500 Euro have to be governed according to the PSD (Payment Service Directive in Europe and the SEC will someday knock on Steemits door)
I totally disagree with your reputation system. My posts which earned 5000$ would only have earned me 50$ in your example
https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/steemit-has-insane-numbers-check-this-out
(i would have left the platform already, if that post only got 50 $ instead of 5000%, because i have to earn 50 $ first...)
i think i had only earned 10$ until this point...
So let the admins and team figure out whats best for the platform, i know that you meant good, but you are trying to capitalize on this issue and earn some money out of it (because its your second post on this already...)
and you earned a lot money from the first post, so now you are trying to squeeze out even more money.
i still have upvoted you, as this thing you are addressing will have to be dealt with in the near future! (and i rather give you the upvote, than some fake big boob chick =:) my upvote just has net you 35$

If you earn 5000 an article then good for you but my solution is referencing to newcomers. Any newcomer would welcome 50$ for introducing himself properly and then grow his rep from there. We early bird and crypto maniacs have shaped seemit in what it is but right now we need to act in a way that it won't be really rewarding to try and cheat the system with new accounts. The whole point of maxing the first post earning for new members at 50$ is because we clearly know the kind of post that does the most on seemit are intro and often these scammers have an official account and all they can do is qui these double triple accounts since they would only lose their time making them. I am writing from my cellphone sorry if I'm hard to understand!
i still disagree, you only see the current system with 25000 users. if we have 100.000 users, the rewards will be 1/4 of now. yes you may have 4x the users, but you will have 4x the introductions. so the rewards will go down. there wont be 3000$ for a introduction post, the average earnings go down to 800-1000 if the usernumbers change.
so you are addressing a solution to a problem which is only in place because there is limited numbers of people here.
the only problem which has to be addressed is, if people use celebrity accounts and get huge amounts of money through these fake accounts.
What you don't seem to factor is the steem price with a user base of 100 000 will skyrocket. The biggest asset of a social network is the user base so yes if we reach 100k the demand for steem power will become bigger and your steem power you hold now will be worth a lot more knowing how hard it will be to earn.
well, i dont think the price will be affected too much if the numbers go to 100.000.
if we reach 1million, yes , but a lot is already factored into the p rice of 3$ atm for steem.
still, content is content, and if the majority decides a intro is worth 5000$ , than be it, that person still made a good intro, even if it was fake.
i still believe it will work out in the future, for example now the liquidity rewards are going away as people gambled the system. i think the steemit team will make the right decisions
Wait, so you actually think that article of yours was worth 5 grand, and you'd walk if you hadn't gotten it? Is that what you're really saying here? Fifty dollars seems way more reasonable for a 200 word article with borrowed assets.
well, i mean i would have walked if i only got 50 $ instead of 5000$, because i didn't earn enough before that and than the platform cuts my earnings by 99%. that would be totally DE-motivating
i see you haven't posted a single post yourself. you dont know how hard i tried, and how happy i was when i hit that successful post.
the cool thing is, that everbody can earn a unlimited number of $ here, and you might think my article was worth only 50$, but the majority of the users did not agree and voted me up, so that post earned 5000$. the result was, that i told everybody about it, and 30 friends already signed up for steemit, and i am trying everyday to write quality content for the steemit platform.
so please bring something to the platform yourself, before you come here and try cap the earnings of people who are really trying to bring value to the platform.
i am sorry but i cant see 0 value you are bringing steemit now, having posted 0 articles yourself .
I curate, which I submit is far more valuable given the amount of referral/affiliate garbage, catfishing, and scams that end up on here. It's a different job, but it's one that is desperately needed. Without curators no one but your 30 friends would have seen your post.
"i am sorry but i cant see 0 value you are bringing steemit now" I can't tell what this sentence means. Work on that.
Also, if everybody earns unlimited money, what worth does money have? None.
