RE: Witness/SirCork News Update - Slipped from 102 back to 103. Meanwhile, Dead Witnesses Block The Chain.
Honestly, I would support community tagging of dead witnesses for vote auto-removal. It's going to be tough to get everyone to "un-vote" for dead witnesses.
Good luck, Sircork.
Great idea, I'll take up in the witness channels and attribute you for the idea!
I hope they take you up on it.
An alternative that could have greater ramifications is instituting witness downvotes, preferably from a pool separate from the 30 upvotes. Obviously that has huge game theory implications, however.
yeah also worth considering ,and if you limit the downvotes to few that take a long regeneration time, you could mitigate a lot of the game theory by simple effective cumbersomeness.
Although, one issue you might run into there is that Witness votes are "semi-permanent".
How so, if you un-vote them?
I only mean, the cooldown might be less effective in this case because witness votes are set until you remove them. If you want to "grief" someone by downvoting their witness, the cool-down may not be a deterrent.
Assuming I'm not misinterpreting what you meant.
I get it. I dunno. Smarter people than I will have to solve this one.
Possible solution include different scalings of votes. For example, if you make a witness downvote, that reduces your witness upvote number by 1 or more.
