RE: Why are comments limited to every 20 seconds, when bandwidth is supposedly limited by Steem Power?

in #bandwidth7 years ago

Right, but the actual bandwidth that you are allowed to post to the blockchain is limited by the amount of Steem Power that you have. The 20 second limit is an additional limit on top of that, which in my experience is always the limiter and not the actual bandwidth limit. The idea was supposed to be that accounts with more Steem Power can post more often (which makes spam expensive), but in practice I think pretty much everybody is limited by the 20 second limit, which kind of makes the other irrelevant in many cases.

Yeah, but for example, a spammer could have a lot of SP, he could create hundreds of accounts and delegate SP to each account, thus removing the bandwidth limit and then successfully post thousands of comments every 10 seconds.
