RE: What Can Steemit Learn From Dash and Pivx?
I feel that we need better ways to communicate with each other and organise ourselves. We need a way for good ideas to get to the top and be implemented. I don't know who is in charge or if they have any idea or experience in what they are doing.
And a projects section, so we can know what is being built and support developers as well as other non-tech projects.
I think a system of lots of decentralised groups working on their own things with communication between each other would be effective.
The whales shouldn't be running things. We should be collaborating. They should have greater SP for voting and curation rewards, not for singlehandedly controlling the direction the platform takes. We have a lot of people from a lot of specialised backgrounds on Steemit, and we could and should be utilising them.
Thanks for your comment. I agree that we need to find more efficient ways to organize ourselves.
Do you think that an investor level account could work, if it was inspired from the Dash and Pivx model of Masternodes?
I like the idea of having a projects tab but I think a proposals tab would be great too, since those not holding investor accounts wouldn't have to travel off-steemit to get info about what's heading down the pike. And those with investor accounts would be able to have an easy to locate and access place where they could vote on proposals.
The fact is that it's great to have every single voice able to speak up, but if they're not investing concretely into the network their vote should be viewed differently. Those with skin in the game will want to do what's best to ensure their investment grows
I think due to the social media nature mixed in, the investor level account could prove to be even more effective than Dash and Pivx model.
I love the idea of having proposals + projects, and anything else to get the ideas out and implemented.
I agree with this but believe that there is too much power consolidation currently. Certain investors will be after short term gains which will not benefit the platform in the long run. Also with people receving Steem from interacting with Steemit, in essence they also develop skin in the game. It may not seem as much compared to early miners/big investors, but relatively to them it might feel like a big investment.
Off the top of my head people with 60+ rep + 10,000 steem power get 1 vote in decision making
2 votes for 20,000, 3 for 30,000 etc
100,000 = 10
Someone with 1,000,000 steem gets 100 votes. 100 votes max per account.
Some sort of system like that, so that those involved are represented more. Perhaps a system where there is an equal amount of votes per user class divided amongst those in each user class. So those at the top have stronger pull still.
There's another aspect to masternodes that may be interesting to you then... that's being able to buy shares of an investor account.
By incentivizing investor accts and also offering shares for lower level investors, we could get everyone into the "voting on proposals" fun.
I feel like a clearly defined amount of Steem to get to this would be more beneficial too, like say 100k Steem. That way a group of highly motivated dolphins could band together and have vote fractions too.
I just feel like there has to be something that makes the minnow want to work up to orca/whale. Something else than just money. Being able to create an investor class makes an audience that is much more transparent
I like the sound of this.
