RE: FullTimeGeek STEEM Rant #2,3,4,5,6
Just looking at the list I LOL'd when I got to the end. While I fall into the #1 category, there is no doubt it will be done if I do it or not and I can do a lot to prevent the amount of garbage being rewarded from it ( which I do).
My blacklist is no over 1,000 individually researched and verified by myself. Something most of the other bot owners want no part of due to the massive time involved and the lost revenue. I couldn't even give my blacklist away if I tried.
isn't that just a 1000 line text file ... you don't need to add the research :D you could probably paste it in a post and that would be bad enough for those people, well if anyone takes that into account.
Still at least you are trying, some don't even bother, ones are too high on the steem others are too dead inside to care, I'd say you are doing fine, humm maybe request help then, give a percentage of the earnings to researchers and so on... just ideas, good luck, make sure to do something good, it's your power after all :)
But yeah the video is funny and quite on point, that EOS at least, I'm sure dan doesn't care much what happens to steem, plus EOS is already above in the market cap, it's even pushing ADA(Cardano) so those are projects with huge backing.
It will be interesting to see where things head, I mean a few days ago I saw a beast of a node by supposedly a witness team called EOS Gravity, there are probably as many ideas if not more for EOS as much as there are SMT
Still steem should be fine unless something takes the center stage as a social media.
I'm wondering "Minds" is doing, that would be the best contender, even tho so far there isn't a blockchain and it would be hard in the current environment to make one.
Running a bot is a deal breaker for me. My 500 SP vote is not likely to affect you very much, yet keep it in mind as the more minnows that feel the same could begin to have an affect.
In every other way you seemed a fine choice of witness to me.
If I do or don’t they don’t go away. Even if they do the end results don’t change, they just go underground.
With me at the helm, much of the garbage doesn’t get rewarded as I am extremely active in stopping and preventing spam.
How often you see bot owners block their best customers (spammers?).
I also do a daily curation to reward good authors, another unique part of what I offer. It’s far more than just a bot.
Much of what I make doesn’t even go to me, it goes to delegation.
I respect you position though. No worries.
That is precisely why you and @nextgencrypto have my vote. What do you think of the likelihood of yall being able to effect a change to the reputation system specifically in allowing lesser rep individuals with stake to affect higher rep scammers. I've read that this isn't possible.
Would you know if on a code level that this is the case? I believe @berniesanders was able to destroy a rep 59 account so it may not be. Still yet, some clarity on the issue would be very helpful.
I would like to know that I am able to affect a level 57 accounts rep before I go wasting my VP as it may be better for me to target a lower tier scammer otherwise.
The way rep works is there is a check if your rep is higher than targets, if so, then it subtracts rshares from the target's raw rep number.
SP isn't factored into it until the first check (if rep higher) passes.
Rep, in theory, can't be bought and takes time to develop, and is more meaningful metric than Steem Power when adjusting the rep of others, but in practice, rep is easily gained up or down and virtually meaningless when it can be bought from bots with no actual costs to users.
In a nutshell, rep is busted big time and virtually useless.
After working my way through the witness list on steemian.info and still having 5 votes not used brought me back to rethink my decision to remove my vote for you, @themarkymark.
Considering the strict overview you are giving your bot let us agree to disagree about its use while returning my support to your witnessing.
My apologies for my flip flopping.
It’s all good, and thanks.
