RE: Thoughts on HF 20 "Velocity"- Yes to tokens, but no to mining.
I find it to be a very ridiculous idea. One that can easily be taken advantage of by greedy people who like to upvote their own one sentence comments.
I was trying to be funny. :D
😂
Minnow booster rocks. I leased 700 SP to increase my voting power and don't upvote my own comments. I even just upvoted one of your comments for the lulz.
Full disclaimer: I am a mod at minnowbooster discord and have about 200 Steem invested in the project
That's great that you're using it ethically, but it certainly has the potential for abuse by unscrupulous people, though some would argue that buying power then using it all on one's self isn't against the rules. It may not be, but neither is taking the entire bowl of dinner mints on your way out of the restaurant, or claiming an entire pile of magazines labeled 'free'. But if you wouldn't do one, why is it ok to do another? It's not "against the rules", it's just downright rude, and I don't feel like steemit was created for lazy, greedy people...
Completely agree, but if you're going to blame MinnowBooster, you may as well take it to it's logical conclusion and blame Steemit. It's my view that comment voting shouldn't even be possible - a tipping system would be much fairer. The MB devs didn't design the system to help leeches, but as long as leeching is possible and there are leeches everywhere, there's not much they can do.
I'm not sure exactly how many renters do this, but judging from the support channel, I think it is only a small minority.
I'm not exactly blaming minnowbooster, it's a great idea for those who would use it morally
