RE: The Number One Fix to Improve Steem's Chances for Mainstream Adoption
Would a return to the n2 with a soft cap of ~1000mv solve enough problems to justify capping one account investment?
I don't think so.
Large investors could always have multiple accounts.
Sure but then they vote them together with a bot or something and we end up in the same place as before with very superlinear.
I don't know how much investment we get at different levels. It's pretty hard to measure especially given sock puppet account, stake moved between accounts, and such.
It would require some one substantially invested to keep a rein on the greedy.
Several somebodies would likely have to take one for the team.
It would have to be a community thing, no way the idea passes the gate keepers, no offense.
It appears that stinc has pushed us through a one way gate.
Smdh.
There isn't a lot of support for superlinear now that is true. It would work better with cheap downvotes I agree there. Even the original n^2 with no whale experiment probably would have worked better with cheap downvotes. The original white paper talks about downvoters pulling down the top overpaid posts (the famous crab bucket analogy), but in reality it rarely ever happened because the cost of doing so was too high. Address that and even unmodified n^2 might be significantly better.
The farther we get from the original design the more it looks like we've jumped the shark.
Why the resistence to calling flags downvotes and separating them from reputation?
The obstanancy attached to this simple change is telling, imo.
Well said
