RE: Who pays for the blogging and curation rewards? (Part 2)

Alright well, I certainly haven't been impressed by @anonymint's social etiquette but plagiarism is a strong claim. And from what I'm seeing here, perhaps he might have benefited and been influenced by your discussion (don't know for sure since it is a really long discussion and I don't have time to go through it all), but he didn't just copy your work and present it as his own.

I think you are referring to ONE error I had in the compounding rate in the blog about how users could become millionaires in SP if they remained vested in SP and how I responded to @bacchist's allegation that my blog was incorrect?

I don't think there have been any other instances other than my exasperation in how to squelch the very long walls of text and false accusations that @sigmajin was putting in the comments.

Well you should know what precipitated that exchange is that @bacchist and I were having some friction over at Bitcointalk well before that, because he was a staunch supporter of Steem and I was very skeptical. He accused me of being wrong about every thing I wrote, and that was a false accusation. I had maybe 3 math errors total while trying to learn this very complex and incompletely/inadequately documented system. I don't think it is fair to extrapolate from that one instance.

I was at that time receiving the brunt of the resistance to any critical analysis of Steem on BCT. Since then, it appears we've all become more amicable (or at least tolerant) and especially as my understanding of Steem has become more solid. I came from 0 understanding of Steem to nearly expert on Steem (at least in some facets) in a matter of a few weeks. You all have been in this for many months or more.

Please allow some consideration. Also please consider that I am 51 years old and I am suffering from a chronic ailment which is a major struggle against bouts of Chronic Fatigure Syndrome, brain fog, and insomnia. I have to really grit my teeth and battle every day, so I don't have luxury of the good feelings you have naturally (I struggle for the level of energy to work that you have naturally and don't even pay attention to about yourself). My condition is improving though. I've been working something like 120 hours a week past few weeks, so I am zombifried.

Not only that I didn't benefit at all from his discussion with me (sorry just being honest because he just made me confused as evident by the back & forth in the comments in Part 1 between him and myself where he took me off on tangents because I thought he was stating the opposite of the way I know the design to be, but this may have just been a communication problem), but I absolutely didn't source any thing from him at all. Rather tt is the interaction with you from that prior incident with @bacchist that is the source I attributed in Part 1. But my idea of the equation which is different from yours, has been that way since that time. It was always my original idea (afaik).
