RE: Arguments For Keeping the Steem Reward Pool Whole

in #steem8 years ago

The proper voting algorithm is voting on witnesses. It is ultimately the block producers that run the software that forms the network. Stake-based popular voting is full of challenges for deciding on making changes to Steem. @chitty asked his witness voters what they wanted to see him do, but didn't get a large turnout.

FWIW @sneak and the Steemit Inc team have promised to make changes to the process of forking Steem to avoid the present situation of having a feature which a number of witnesses disapprove of.

Sort:  

It's true that the community channels their decision through the witnesses they support. Having a separate polling would mean double voting, in a way.

The idea that witnesses need a feature to express their choice with every fork change is a great one and I hope to see it implemented soon.

The other thing about getting exposure on your posts. This is something I've been thinking about a lot in the past week. We need some algorithms for our feeds that don't rely solely on the posts of the people we follow (and their resteems), in a descending timeline order. It needs to be something smarter, something more dynamic and personalized. That way, posts that get community attention reach a wider spread to get everyone's attention.
