RE: Details on Proposed Comment Reward Curve

in #steem8 years ago

why don't we apply Zipf's Law equation for reward calculations?

First we sort all candidates according to their votes, then make the reward of a post proportional to 1/k, where k is the rank of the post.

Sort:  

For better performance, payout time points are divested. Every block there will be some posts being payout. So you can't sort all candidates all the time.
Also it seems 1/k is weak against Sybil attacks.
