RE: [proposal] A potential alternative to Voting Power, Voting Tokens?
I like the idea. It is much simpler to understand than the current system, and I think it essentially accomplishes the goals of the v.14 change.
One thing that I don't quite understand about how the token plan will work, is that currently the payouts are all calculated based on the users weighted votes within the current payout period. If you allow users to save up tokens over a 1 week period and use them all at once - aren't you letting them use more than 100% of their daily voting power within a day?
Yes, yes it would - and that's a great question. I'm not sure of the impact that would have. That could be a show stopper on this idea if there's a major impact to the rshares distribution.
I still think that the idea of tokens is a great solution to the UI/UX part of the problem though. Even if it doesn't change the way the voting/payout formula is done behind the scenes, it still could be a great way for users to understand how their voting works.
