RE: [proposal] A potential alternative to Voting Power, Voting Tokens?
I like this idea. I can see a potential problem, though:
A vote from a high-SP whale will often be too significant.
High-SP whales often upvote posts/comments at 1-2%. In the scenario you laid out, a whale wouldn't have that flexibility. Their smallest possible vote would be far stronger than it is now.
p.s. @jesta A few days ago I gave you some suggestions for making steemstats even better, such as: sorting followers by Steem Power, sorting followers by the date they started following you, and a couple others. Did you have a chance to further consider those improvements?
Alright I have no idea what happened to my other comment.. I tried to copy/paste and respond to you quoting what you said and it broke. I'm going to leave it and use it to report whatever bug just happened :)
lol, here's what I tried to say:
Response to your first point about whales : Completely agreed. We actually talked a bit in chat about this point, and one solution that came up is that we could allow more advanced users to change the precision of the tokens. So a whale could open up their preferences and set
token = 1or something similar, which would effectively 10x their token balance and 10^ the value of each one. That would then let them use 1-100 on each post, with each token equal to one percent.Response to your other comment: Mmm, honestly I totally missed those suggestions. I'll go find it and respond there :)
I believe you did respond with something along the lines of "these could be fun." I just wanted to see if you had given them any more thought.
Haha, I must have been tired. I did add them to my list though.
I haven't, except in the fact that some of those are really going to require steemdb and steemstats to combine in some way or another to accomplish. The following information and lookup of accounts isn't information readily available in steemstats (or on the blockchain at the moment), so I'll need to use steemdb's database to do things like that.
So it may take a while for a few of those to actually happen.
I appreciate that, thanks!

^^^ why does this happen? like half of my posts end up like yours above.
I don't know, I've been trying to figure it out too. I opened an issue on github about it, if you've got any insights as to why it's happening, feel free to join in on the bug report.
i figured it out from your comments on github... im not on there so ill post h ere.
It comes from having any character, then multiple GT block quote symbols.
so this is fine:
