RE: Thoughts on HF 20 "Velocity"- Yes to tokens, but no to mining.

in #hf207 years ago

See. You're my dude. How are you going to be able to participate to mine when you have no clue. Maybe you spend 3 months educating yourself on the subject, but I don't think we should have that as a requirement to have a shot at equal rewards here.

Sort:  

I thought mining was now beyond the scope of everyday people's computers? Don't you need special mining hardware for that now-a-days? The inequality that creates concerns me too.

yes you do. Which is another reason why mining is unfair. Ok, so not only do you have to be born wealthy enough to have an education good enough to have a background strong enough to understand this shit, but you also have to have enough wealth to be able to dedicate thousands to mining equipment, and even then you're getting smashed by those who dedicate millions and billions. It's an arms race and an expensive one. And the tokens go to the rich.

Why not just vote on who shoudl get them like we do witnesses and let the people contributing the most to the growth of this place take the tokens.

I went back and re-read the last section of this post to go along with your reply. So you're thinking a new group of 1000 or so voted "onboarding witnesses" would be given the mined tokens and then responsible for distributing them to new accounts as they join?

Would that be a manual process, for example if I was one of them, when a new account hits the pending que, I would have to review it, approve it, then assign the tokens?

I like the way you think, long term equality and stability to protect US ALL here.
