RE: Exploratory Analysis shows DApps activity is gaining market share on Steemit.com
"Who is to blame" is not the point, obviously :-)
The idea is to seek together better ways forward, identify what was done wrong and agree on how to do it right going forward.
For me having to pay or to wait to have an account is an idiotic idea. If you position the platform as "uncensorable expression of opinions" AND you create free accounts fast AND you dangle the prospective of earning money for expressing your opinions then you are open to abusers ...
Fair enough, how do you solve this while keeping all the above parameters fixed:
- uncensorable expression of opinions (it's the initial ethos of the decentralized system)
- your voice is worth something (incentivization for participating, for voicing opinions)
- free and fast account creation
Is this solvable ? Can you add something to the system that keeps the three features above while protecting the system from spam and abusive behaviour ?
That is the problem that needs solving IMO
In that I agree.
I believe that currently the biggest problem is paying for account creations, this really is an obstacle for new entrants. It turns out that the need to pay the new accounts is in theory an attempt to stop the abuse of multiple accounts.
I agree that it should be paid, but we have to check how we can do to create new accounts and the cost to stay with us. Say, a fund where we put a certain amount of STEEM and get back financial returns in the next 365 days that would give the value of the account. In other words, we would finance the new accounts at the expense of daily returns for a year without profit or loss.
I think this would be the most sensible model.
