RE: Do You Use steem.supply? If You Do Are You Remiss Like Me?
Added my vote, but I feel like the system is failing them and it really needs to be changed. I commented on this over on berniesanders most recent post that dealt with steem.chat This is a big area in which steemit should be improved upon. Perhaps even divided up a bit more. It seems unfair with such a massive system now that 21 people get a majority of the earners? There are CLEARLY more then 21 people devoting a ton of time, programming, skills etc into the system in which should be divided up more evenly.
I agree with you 1000% @bitcoinflood.
I think one of the biggest problems is few are aware it even exists. To start, most do not know about the witnesses nor do they cast their votes. Also, until that post, I didnt know there was such a huge difference in payments between the top 21 and the rest. Hell, I dont even know what the payment is for any of them (I guess I could search that out).
There is no doubt the STEEM blockchain has some issues that need addressing. This is part of the growth challenges we have.
But hey, at least we arent debating as to what the best way to speed up this blockchain is or how to handle all the back traffic.
The top witnesses in no way get the majority of the earnings on the platform. They earn what they earn because they have probably the most important job of all to do here which is to run the platform. It's a very difficult job to do well.
There are many ways for people who devote time and effort to the platform to earn much more money than they ever could being a witness, and that is great, but being a witness is not meant to fund development projects.
