I think this is a good idea as well. The details would have to be hashed out and clearly the people who would get picked are only human as well and would have a tendency to upvote the people in their "crew". I think this would spread the voting power out better and mix up the rewards more. The only thing I don't necessarily agree on is the idea that people who are powering everything up would be the only ones benefiting from this. There are people trying to be full time Steemians and unless they have made bank on something else they have to use some of these payouts to pay bills. It would almost cut all of them out of the loop.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
the steemit account is only 50% of the reward pool, so those who are not interested in steem power would still be 50% in the loop, and powering down for a weekly pay is better financial planning for someone who needs to pay bills with money from steemit, at least there will be less frustration if a post does not earn good money, because the payment amount each week is known ahead of time. I recorded this video on the fly as I'm not the type to write out my blog posts, but I think based on the replies that this idea has legs. I like that you are not 100% all over it, so if you were to make a written version of it for those who are not willing to watch my video, it would lead to more discussion. If steemit implements the idea or some version of it, there will perhaps be a large consulting fee for you(or whoever decides to write it out in a blog post) and I for bringing it forward.
10 different accounts each on 7 day rotation is allot of room to alleviate any popularity contest, that's room for over 100 legend curators
I get what you are saying about powering down as a means to have a consistent financial planning for someone who needs to pay bills but it becomes a perception thing. There is still a feeling that when people are powering down especially into the price dip that we are experiencing it just feels like they are driving the price down and trying to get the money while they can even if it is basically the same as if someone just took SBD and cashed them out. I get that part of the reason the whales have to power down to get a distribution is because a lot of their money is coming from curating which is paid in Steem Power. Plus they want to take some earnings.
The one main issue I see is giving random people access to the account presents a potential issue but I guess the only way they would be able to extract funds is if they tried to power down and the first payout would take 7 days and everyone would notice and then the account could be taken back from them if someone tried that.
a randon person is not you or me, and i am sure it would be setup in a way that only someone like youself who is willing to provide indentification, and have a solid reputation, would be elected by the community
