RE: I submitted my first hardfork pull request to the Steem blockchain! (Updates to the SBD print rate.)

in #steem6 years ago

Like you've rightly pointed out, development to steem would be quite slow, if we wait until Steemit Inc. decides on a hardfork. It's a good thing that you are making these changes, @timcliff. Thank you.👍
While I'm trying to understand the mechanics of how SBD debt ratio increases, the question that comes to mind is how do we know that SBD debt ratio has reached that 'haircut' limit of 10% before we begin to see it lose value below $1 (assuming 17/22 witnesses agree to the change in the code you've made)?

The debt ratio is the amount of SBD in existence / the marketcap of STEEM. I replied to another comment in this post with the exact numbers for that calculation.

that SBD debt ratio has reached that 'haircut' limit of 10% before we begin to see it lose value below $1

The intent is not really to make it reach the 10% 'haircut' limit. It is just to allow SBD to continue being printed unless/until we reach that point.

The market will reach whatever SBD price it reaches based on a lot of factors.

Thank you for the answer, @timcliff. I've read through the comments thread again and seen your response to @edb's question. The concept of SBD debt ratio is clear to me now.
Your intent, regarding the action on SBD should it reach that 10% 'haircut', is understood. I'm glad to have learnt something new from you today. Thanks once again.
