As noted in other posts, there is a well-capitalized bot, which will ensure that he wins the 1200 award. At the same time, providing a low liquidity as possible.
Basically a very generous 28,800 STEEM per day allocated for the promotion of liquidity providers now that perhaps providing more liquidity to anyone at all. The reason is that the more money you have, the more precisely you can create with your prices, and this means that the bot with greater liquidity can always create internal distribution. That is slightly higher than the highest.
Do this for as long as it takes to get an hourly $ 5,000 award.
Community benefits are negative. Not only that, there is no liquidity, it discourages anyone else to ensure liquidity.
Proposed solutions:
I have a number of technical solutions that will solve the problem, but first I am calling for a moratorium for 1200 Steem hour award until it is resolved. Otherwise, it is $ 100,000 per day of Steem depleted when he falls down and it can damage the market price may significantly.
A: Change the order of matching rounded to the nearest .001, it would be at least big bills from the creation of their own trade. The advantage is that it should be relatively easy to implement. A few lines of code in the coordination of the order. It is usually correct the problem independent trade.
Q: Ideally, an independent trade could have been prevented. As long as there is a way to finance new accounts through external funds, then any number of accounts can be filled. This means that there is no easy or difficult to prevent this process. Probably because of the difficulty of this problem has not been fixed as motivation. For example, this fix will require a long-term cooperation with all external sources of funding. Path analysis of all assets related to revealing accounts of them.
C: I have an intermediate method which will solve the majority of the problem. This will require changes in liquidity Algo remuneration to consider minting.
Liquidity Points = SQRT (purchase volume * volume set) * coinage
This is not something that a lot of work, but what it will do a lot more capital. In fact, if the duration of coinage in the blocks, it will even guide the trader the opportunity to get a decent reward, they can use the old tools and at the same time as it can be interpreted as a kind of monetary attacks, compared with the current situation, I saw him as an advantage.
