RE: Mana vs Voting Power - What name do you prefer ? ( 2 Steem-Bounty Added )

in #steembounty • 6 years ago (edited)

Voting power was confusing. Mana makes sense because it works very like mana which is common in video games and people understand it. The association with video games isn't a problem for me as it brings the idea across accurately.

Voting Power was a bad name because it could refer to various things that affect your vote.

    Thanks for your input. I feel as if Steemit is marketed towards a niche group already ( crypto investors ) and using words like Mana is keeping within that niche as I feel as Gamers and Crypto investors are over-lapping groups. I think it would be better to stay away from such words. To me Voting Power seems more straight forward for the non gaming new user.

      If it's a choice between using a word some people understand, and using a word nobody understands, I'll go with the former. Mana works because it is more or less the same concept, but there isn't really anything else which so easily maps to it.

        I don't view it that way but I do respect your opinion. Thanks for your thoughts on the name change.
