RE: Bandwidth Exceeded....what do I do, why is this happening, how can I fix it - ALL EXPLAINED!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

The introduction is misleading, please fix it. I quote mvandeberg on github:

Your reasoning that bandwidth is to prevent the rewards pool from fulling draining is incorrect. The rewards allocation algorithm prevents that itself. Bandwidth is purely to prevent the blockchain from being spammed. Most chains rely on transaction fees. We don't specifically because we don't want Steem to be pay to play. However, we cannot have a single rate that controls every account or else those that create multiple accounts would be at an advantage. The only logical choice to rate limit based on stake (Steem Power). This argument applies to other aspects of the Steem blockchain as well.

Please update your initial paragraph to be correct; as it stands it's spreading misinformation.

I posted an Image Correction of the first paragraph. Which now doesn't show because someone flagged my post.....

I used my whaleshares to try to undo the damage done by the virtue flagging, venus.

I 💓 you man!

Edited, is that better? Can you remove the flag now? @sneak

You got screwed up hard with this flagging, your rewards drained a lot... If they waited a bit for the edit they wouldn't have to flag you

Flags cannot drain one's rewards; flags can only affect your future potential rewards. Nothing was drained - the payout value displayed on a post is estimated, and has not happened yet.

Still, while @venuspcs could have made a much more elegant correction (as in fixing the paragraph itself), it seems to me that the original cause for flagging is not valid anymore. He does at least deserve a response @sneak.
