RE: Two big issues that are plaguing Steem from an Investors POV & a proposed solution

in #steempower5 years ago

I was thinking there would be the normal powerdown option, then you add the new instant powerdown option. Whatever you decide to instantly powerdown will cost you 5%. If you are currently in a powerdown and want to power down the rest instantly, it could be either just a flat 5% or a swinging scale where the % gets lower the amount of time you have been in powerdown.

Sort:  

That makes it more clear! I was trying to frame this to the current 13-week based cycle! Yeah makes sense, it's still a pretty good amount to burn down!

So big investors are willing to invest on Steem and power up but only if they can power down immediately. Makes me happy that they understand the value of the platform but what keeps them back is not any faults but the speed of power down, I guess since they depend on every cent they invest, they need to be able to move investments quickly.

I am a hardcore Steemian and Steem believer, but even I have to think twice when I hit powerup. 13 weeks with no way out is pretty rough. Just speaking from my own POV, I'd feel better knowing I could get out anytime for a fee.

I feel this can be a fear factor too, cuz steem may just hit it and you feel the need to pull out

never powered down so did not do real research on it. if you start power down in the first week you would get 1/13 of your stake?
someone wrote in the comments maybe the option of not burning steem but "giving" it to all that are not powering down would be an interesting option.

I like I can
