Hi,

Thanks for the detailed reply,

blockchains are just a dance between code and human self-interests.

The sociological term, which also incorporates the 'hardware element' into its definition is 'transhuman assembalge'.

I'm kind of with you on using bid-bots in the sense that if everyone (or at least the vast majority) used bots as much as they could then IF they are detrimental to the platform then it would just make their negative effects more obvious, and reveal the results more quickly.

Of course weird things might happen with scaling up the use, you never know!

I'm also for trying these things out... I did try out bots a while back, but with only a few $ each time, I made a positive ROI for the most part, but just didn't really like the feel of it very much.

I agree about oracles, I mean what's the point of competing with everyone to hit the trending pages when writing about different things, it doesn't make any sense.

The burn option is something I hadn't thought about... Way to techno-socialist to be considered I think.

I personally won't be using them to promote my own posts, it doesn't make sense for me, as I said, increasing delegation to vote buying services is a possibility though, which is effectively the same as using them to promote yourself were ethics are concerned!

Nice baseball analogy.
