Nice post and discussion. Did you hear about the upcoming hardfork? Dan is intending to implement a dramatic change in the voting to allow whales to negate the votes of others. This will be extremely controversial but it will be worth discussing between now and Aug 30. https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/279
And I know your rule is you have to downvote me but this post is informative.
I read the details, seems to have mostly to do with how whales curate, how do you think the effects will impact someone like me, who does not get votes from whales, maybe I get a whale vote two times per week, and I post about 4 times per day... will the changes benefit me.. or wont make any difference?
I've been thinking about the effects and I think it's a risky move not necessarily for either of us but because it in some way could personalize voting. I have to think about it more though because right now all I have to go by is Dan's implementation details without much justification for it.
the 7 day wait to negate too much negative voting might make it not so bad, without that it would be war
why would he downvote you? :P here have an upvote
