RE: Reward Pool Rape: Downside of Steem Blockchain innovate nature Or Abuse of Free will?
Everyone of us has a freewill and even in real life, we can choose to exercise the freewill or not. We can't expect everyone in this platform to be saints because that will be the stupidest thing we can expect in any community or culture. We may not stop others from abusing anything but we sure can choose whether we abuse our own or not. It's again, in the end, up to us users.
Well the steem software is on something like its 20th fork, so software solutions are the surest way of dealing with such symptoms. Otherwise another greedy son of a seadog picks up once the evil whale is beached.
Well, I guess you're right. We can't really trust all the whales in here can we?
Indeed not. On one analysis post about the Cave Troll there was an indication of muliple Cave Troll accounts syncronizing with witness voting. If the Cave Trolls get a good faction on the Witness Circle of Twenty then barring software solutions could become a reality.
Remember that voting for choice of witnesses is weighted as well. A whale has more say than those at the bottom of the tank.
With only approximately 4% of accounts voting on Witnesses such a faction need not be comprised of an unrealistic amount of whales to tilt the voting scales in their favor.
