RE: Official Proposal For A Variable Amount To Power Down - Github Issue Opened
The idea is very good! In less than 10 hours I'll have first power down. And I think it will be more useful to set: I want to power down 100 steems and after first week to receive 1/13 of my Steem and in second week to receive the difference (around 30 steems).
The use cases can get really complicated, but for now I think the easiest way would be to allow the user to specify a fixed amount each week, ex: 100 STEEM (from a maximum allowed of 1300 STEEM/week). And if we gather enough user information and if there's enough demand for more specific patterns, then obviously we can implement them as well. But just having that would be really nice.
I don't check the Steemit code, but I don't see nothing hard to implement it. :)
For me has more sense to say to the system:
Me: I want to convert 300 steem power into Steem!
System: You will need 4 weeks to do that. Do you agree? (Yes/No)
Me: Yes.
Then, after 1 week: 80 Steem(that mean 1/13 of my total Steem power)
Second week: 80 Steems
Third week: 80 steems
And in 4th week only 60 steems.
Ah, got it. It's a more specific use case. I think it can be implemented once we gather more user input. As it is right now, 13 weeks is an important number in regard to the total expected Steem on the market. It has to do with "maturation of shares" if you want, and it needs a bit of predictability (or so I understand).
Ok, I got the idea! It's not a coding limitation it's a business logic limitation. :)
Thanks for explanation!
