RE: An Open Letter to the Community - HF22.5
More Rewards to Witnesses
Community is the core to the Steem ecosystem, and Witnesses should earn rewards accordingly given how important their roles are. We will come up with a plan to reward Witnesses privileges in Steemit like staking rewards.
But a platform like this is nothing without content. Do you surely believe that wintesses need to be rewarded more heavilly? Do people use reddit, instagram, and facebook to see drama about reddit, instagram and facebook?
No, they go there to follow and discuss things that they are interested in.
We need less content about Steem and more rewards for dedicated content creators and people who grow communities.
It's a strategy to say that "witness rewards will be boosted" because in the end they need witnesses supporting this hostile takeover. Think it is like a bribe.
It is a bribe. But the witnesses will be the exchanges and Tron BPs or whatever they are called.
"Community" witnesses.
Completely, this is to ensure compliance with the new CENTRAL AUTHORITY!
All aboard the C-Train!!
^It works on several levels.
They HAVE witnesses appointed at the moment. Who do you think they have to talk to?
While at the end of the day, witnesses are needed to maintain the infrastructure - what is the point of infrastructure or the blockchain at all if creators aren't rewarded in an equitable manner?
As I stated - people don't come to steem to see the marvels of its underlying technology, they come for the ability to etch their statements into an immutable ledger, get a reward in exchange for that, or to share their creations with the world.
Its a bad approach and we have seen it failing first hand. There must be an intrinsic utility value provided by the chain like dApp which generates revenue. Otherwise, the system is flawed.
A suggestion could be that when a post is promoted or featured, the money used for that promotion or feature is spread to the accounts that delivered page views or clicks on that promotion, paying content creators for the impressions made.
It's need an ad sense like anti spam / anti gaming mechanism to stop bots, but it's another way to share revenue.
yes, something like that. A part of the revenue can be paid back to the apps. In anycase we are seeing the first generation apps and also seeing the issues around it. What we are witnessing, IMHO is the evolutionary steps in the blockchain paradigm. Time will tell beyond the Bitcoin usecase, will the public-ledger will live or not.
I hope so. I came to this chain to say what I want and to stand by the history of what I say, acknowledging that my changing opinions and thoughts of matters can be scrutinised openly.
It's okay for someone to change their opinion and outline the reasons for it.
It is n it okay for them to delete all traces of what their opinion or idea was at a certain stage of history.
Interestingly I was reading a paper given below today ...
Witness's = Tron puppets on strings.
They didn’t even set @null or something as beneficiary....
Hahaha...pathetic
And downvoted my comment...
You shouldn't be hostile to begin with.
Freedom of speech, I believe in it, which is why I will not downvote your comment.
The witnesses are theirs... they don't give AF
Popcorn sales through the roof right now, I'm sure!
did someone say !popcorn ?
and Netflix subscriptions are getting cancelled!
Ditto
Where can we regroup to discuss tactics? Not here on 22.5. Can we somehow connect to 22.2 which presumably previous witnesses are still running?
I am guessing they are forking the chain as we speak...
let me know when you see announcements please, in case i miss.
Hi @holoz0r
Very true. Correct me if I'm wrong - but did current witnesses supported content creators? Most of them unfortunatelly didn't.
Perhaps new witnesses will.
I rather see witnessed being rewarded instead of seeing steem being dumped on the market, the way STINC has been doing for very long.
YOu nailed it.
Yours, Piotr
Thank you. I've made this opinion known for quite some time, and even tried to get a witness node up and running myself at one point.
I respect the work that is done by curie, ocd, csquared, and other such community accounts and projects, and support them with my witness votes.
Witnesses were more than sustainable, and many do delegate to curation projects, and competitions which promoted people to bring new content to steem, but these rewards were not ... as philanthropic as say, patrons in the traditional art world.
It seem that we're on the same page here @holoz0r
ps.

My thoughts on all of this are here - Anarchy vs. Empire. ;)

You know what would be really funny? If they froze all those witnesses that froze them, just you know, temporarily.
I hope both sides find a way to deescalate the situation ...
Hear, here hombre. I imagine some have already coded a hardfork are working on it right now to make a 'new steem' apart from TRON. Saddens me most that they didn't even really give new management a chance to prove themselves. I'm hoping for the best!
That would sure be hilarious.
The 30 witnesses voting rule.
That is who to blame!
Lesson learned the hard way.
He wants to reward HIS witnesses.
Community indeed!
Scummunity
You say that like anyone in power is reading comments lolz
I'm reading the replies to this - and its something I'm super passionate about, and always have been!
Yeah I mean JSun and co aren't. Maybe get a vague inkling of who's on their side. They don't give a rats butt what we think here in the comments
