RE: Self voter Return on Investment (svROI) notoriety flagging bot

in #steemit6 years ago

I just read these words in the whitepaper about self voting and the coincidence made for me to read your post right after.

Regardless of how much money any one individual has, there are always many other individuals with similar wealth. Even the wealthiest individual rarely has much more than the next couple wealthiest combined. Furthermore, those who have a large investment in a community also have the most to lose by attempting to game the voting system for themselves.

It would be like the CEO of a company deciding to stop paying salaries so he could pocket all of the profits. Everyone would leave to work for other companies and the company would become worthless, leaving the CEO bankrupt rather than wealthy.

I guess they make perfect sense here as they motivate even more the behavior of this bot

Sort:  

It's a very simple way to delegate some fraction of your SP to guarantee not feeling too selfish about your voting behaviors.

indeed, you are right, I should do this, SP for the flags! I just have a question: This will not work for multiple accounts of the same people voting each other like exchanging votes stuff, isn't it?

No, That would be infinitely more complex.

We chose only 1 week to not give too much incentive for users to create proxy accounts.

Except that is, a) not true, especially on Steemit, and b) there's a reason anti-trust laws exist.
