i share the same concerns. at least i'm kinda glad people are coming back after a few days of lockout (very slowly..)
when @steemitblog says we now have an 'acceptable level', it looks like they wanna hide the facts, or oversell themselves. why not just make it clear? 15sp = how many posts and votes per day? resource costs will be dynamic, so maybe give an estimated range? who defines this 'acceptable level' in the first place? why not say something like 'we think x comments and x posts per day for a new account is the acceptable level'? are they afraid of admitting the fact that steemit inc wants to define everything instead of trying to come up with free market solutions?
Ensuring that low SP users can transact as much as possible is our #1 priority and we will continue to work with the witnesses to optimize the system to that end.
why not just tell us what they mean by low sp? to ned 100,000sp is low as fuck. to me, 15sp is low and 100sp is high, and 100 comments, 20 posts per day is the minimum acceptable level for a new account with 0 investments. why not just give us ned's honest thoughts and let the community start talking about what the right numbers are?
It really is confusing to have a discussion around subjective ideas like "transact as much as possible." It can't be literal, obviously, so how much is it?
We can have a fruitful community discussion about how much is enough. But first we have to know where we're starting. Are things okay now without needing to adjust that further? If not, we can't expect to hear it from the ones who can't post LOL.
I don't think they have any real idea of how much SP / RC is necessary to be functional, hence the comments such as "transact as much as possible." The deployment demonstrates quite clearly that the developers did little or no testing before it went live. The live network is now going to be used as a guinea pig to run tests on as they tweak it into shape. Thus I would surmise, more unintended consequences are possible.
Thus I would surmise, more unintended consequences virtually guaranteed
I believe this would be an accurate edit. ;)
yes let the community decide how much is enough. at least be transparent and listen. don't be a dictator.
'as much as possible' could be anywhere in between 1 sextillion and 5.
yes, it's nothing more than a bunch of questions. i just wanna know what ned thinks is the optimal amount of posts and comments for a new user with 0 investments.
