RE: Bid-Bots - Also Known As "Vote Buying". What does it mean for steem?

in #informationwar6 years ago

If you are referring to my idea to use the @Steemit account. I think this can be mitigated by returning the vote payments into the reward pool - leaving no dilution:

Sort:  

Just require declined rewards and the bots have no impact on the pool no matter how much their votes are stacked.

Ultimately 'requiring' implies force, whereas the elegant method of allowing votes to be bought in a way that bypasses the bot operators and which does not limit the rewards pool is a more balanced approach that requires no maintenance. how do you 'require' declined rewards in a practical way anyway?
