RE: My take on Self-voting, Vote-buying and Reward Pool Rape

in #steem7 years ago

Sigmoid looks great on a first glance, but at which point should the slope start to decline ? ...

That huge problem aside, it would counter the idea of getting more influence over the rewards, the more popular a post gets.

The 4 post a day limit never applied to comments, so it is not even a question how to circumvent such a limitation for abuse.

Yes, this had to be discussed. I think one could reach a consensus here ...
One could actually also let the sigmoid curve become linear (after x has exceeded a certain value)! You see I am far from having an elaborated solution, but am contributing so many highly interesting thoughts, haha. :-) I am just an ordinary Steemit-user giving the implementation into the hands of professionals who are getting paid for doing so. :-))) (Read that with a twinkle in your eye ...:)

At a certain point, yes. However one could select kind of a 'stretched' sigmoid function, so that one could receive 'quite some' upvotes before the flattening takes place.

One could set a limit for the number of fully rewarded comments as well. In addition one could limit the maximum percentage of voting power which can be used to upvote comments. What about a restriction to (let's say) 15 % of the own voting power for comments?

I fear all those complicated solutions will get in the way of SMTs and other possible applications of STEEM.

Keep it simple.
