RE: Introducing @calibrae, @elfspice/@l0k1's new and final Steem account.

Reading your comment again it made me think about how this method could be used to create markets that can't be manipulated by HFT bots.

It requires a reputation system to stop the bots!

Steemit's model is based on financial markets, which deprecate the influence of social factors. But they put a forum in, which means eventually the social will have to rise to equal the power of stake... Or someone will fork it so it does.

Sort:  

Yes I guess in the end bots can be programmed to replicate any human behaviour.
I naively thought that you could score a post as human interaction through counting the comments, subcomments and upvoted comments and the number of unique commenters.
Assuming flame wars would not be voted or flagged down.
But I guess once the bot programmers figure that out and they have access to 1000's of bots that could be defeated as well... sigh....
