RE: Encrypted Memos Are Unreadable!
I don't even know if I ever got an encrypted memo tbh... Every time I want to talk to someone I use old tech AKA discord xD And busy has been having troubles lately with the API, my last notification is from 2 days ago... even though I received many messages after it, and I'm not the only one having this problem
Imo the different dapp developers should gather up and work on one single way to access the information on the blockchain a better more vast way that has all the different funcionalities, instead of having 4 dapps that do almost the same thing with little tweeks(steempeek, esteem, steemit, busy, partiko, etc...) they are, more or less the same thing, if all of them gathered up and decided to do one dapp to rule them all it would bring all the funcionalities of the blockchain to light, memo keys, encrypted messages, the curation AI bots, engangements AI, etc... I think the blockchain would really shine with this. My only problem with this is that this would allow governments to block that website enabling a easier censorship...
In regards to curation and reputation, just like you I think the resteem system should have some incentive to use, maybe a resteem token that gives upvotes to users that resteem content that gets nice upvotes? and regardings the reputation I've talked to some people that are working on a system that allows people to see "the real reputation" of users by removing the rep given to them by bidbots, this would actually allow airdrops to be made on the STEEM blockchain without that whole drama that happened with byteball
How do you identify the bidbots?
Once you do, how do you stop them from spoofing their identity now that you've made it valuable to do so? That's quite the uphill battle.
I think the true solution will be a superior reputation system altogether.
Well, I also agree on the superior reputation system, but the problem is getting the main witnesses on board with that, we all know that there is a witness-whale agenda in some of the top witnesses that prevents them from doing that, they are making thousands if not millions a year just having bidbots businesses, whale-witness upvoting hidden agendas, etc...
How would you do it knowing that a hidden agenda is in place and that you have next to 0 power in the current system? We would have to fight with the SP from all accounts, but how would you do that knowing that most people on this blockchain don't care about who is in charge and just like to complain and cash out their rewards at the end of the month?
You create permissionless apps that don't require witness approval. If the community that you build becomes stronger than the current establishment you can threaten a fork or straight up hostile takeover with enough stake.
Ok, I think I'll require an ELI5 for that whole permissionless app concept... but from what I'm getting is that you want a consensus of enough stake in order to overturn the current system that is in place? Maybe a community like the dolphincouncil?
The vast majority of projects on the blockchain do not require permission.
I could monetize resteems without embedding the logic into the core consensus algorithm.
Look at projects like @busy, @steempeak, @parkito, @steemworld, @steemmonsters, @drugwars.
None of these projects needed permission to get built.

The vast majority of the time a hardfork is not necessary to bring value to the blockchain.
