RE: Why people do not keep their wallets open all the time

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

I'm sorry, but I do not see any of these as valid points to not integrate fixed block rewards. I know this is your list to show why people aren't staking, but this started in the fixed block rewards thread. On the contrary, I see this as 9 points of reasons why we should use fixed rewards so only those who do network work receive payment for work done.

Sort:  

This is not about pro or contra fixed rewards.

This is about the discussion that, even if Githubers think different, did not happen in teh community.

In all that thread that had a comment about once a week for a year now, there is one thing missing.

  • We have a (real or perceived, does not matter) problem that a lot of GRC aren't online 24/7.
  • We a have a proposed solution to this: fixed rewards

But nobody ever talked about the simple question: Does that solution solve the problem? Does it make the problem worse? Is there a better solution? Or none at all?

Here you have 10 reasons why this problem may exist.
How many of those go away with the proposed solution?

No. Changing, or keeping for that matter, the stake reward will not change any of those problems. In fact, out of those 9 only #2, #5 and #7 can be dealt with while the rest are just personal reasons. However, the assumption is that since you have to start your computer and open the wallet in order to get paid for actual work done you are more likely to do so, so I guess that fixes 1-3?

I agree. If you don't run the wallet because it is not comfortable for you, or you flat out don't care about the network you should not be rewarded.
