RE: Is HF21 a trap?

n^2 also counteracted Diminishing Marginal Utility, (Where each additional unit of an asset is valued less than the previous one) and encouraged curators to upvote posts which had already seen some success.
(There's currently nothing to be made by upvoting a post once it's hit $50, so nobody does; so there's nothing to be made by upvoting a post once its hit $40; so nobody does...)
I loved n^2. It took me from Casual reader of the white paper to Heavily invested Steem maniac.
You were there. Who championed n^2?

Sort:  

R^2 was pretty broken. I'm not a fan, but R^(something larger than 1 but smaller than 2) seems really good. It's enough to incentivize the same kind of behavior, but not to the point where it breaks voting for anyone without a 5% stake in the token.

Dear @mattclarke

and encouraged curators to upvote posts which had already seen some success.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but would that also mean that those who upvote comments will have it even harder and their votes will be bringing less rewards?
