With every new account having the power to upvote 10 times a day for 0.01 SBD or $0.06 USD the number of proxy voting accounts has been on the rise.
Is it just me, or did we have ways to mitigate this in previous versions of Steem?
Ah...the consequences of Steemit Inc.’s hard forking ignorance and/or carelessness. Can’t wait for their new proposals to “improve” things!
I really hope someone takes the ideas we discussed in chat the other day seriously. The current account creation process is broken.
What do you mean @patrice? Newbie here, but would like to learn the reason why.
The current signup relies on verification by SMS text. There are services out there for social media sites that sell SMS Verification services and temporary telephone numbers for SMS verification.
The @dart group has created almost a 1000 accounts I can find this month.
These accounts are not going to users who want to be part of the community. Like the examples above they are just here to get some free money. Many of them do it with bots.
Well SLAY THEM! Take my 100% upvote which is a lot and go kill em xD
