Dynamic/Quantum Friend Request
It's a idea of mine hardly worth the post, but maybe we can make quantum Steemit like actions for effective social grouping. So you have your normal friend request "I think your cool" so I send you a friend request and you accept the friend request and now were friends and you get added to some list that marks that on both of our accounts. My idea is a sort of entanglement, I.e I follow you you follow me I comment and up vote on some of your post and you do the same on mines and now were entangled sort of a quantum friend merging is done and now were "paired" if we stick to the analogy.
we can even have some sort of Bose-Einstein condensate and group power going on. Some sort of group vote that has to be confirmed by consensus of the group to go through and if consensus fails too many times then the condensate dissipates like steam. Smaller pairings are kept but the group falls apart. one person or more people would be the vote caster finding things to vote on and putting it to consensus and maybe that position pays a little more when consensus is reached and rotates between members on a cycle. Maybe there's a members area like a chat forum to allow for communication between the group members and consensus voting on which post deserve some up-votes as well as other things. Group post put forward by the group chairman/Chairlady can be published. Groups can also earn Steem power for however long the group stays together.
That's as far as Ive gotten with the idea considering I did just think and expand on it while writing this post but it would be cool. Realistically the coding would be hellish for anyone who attempts it but it could be done the real question is should it be done and that I have no answer to. it would add another layer of uniqueness to this platform definitely but you would have some folks saying "how can Steem/Steam go quantum!!!"
If you kinda don't know what im talking about try looking up some of the terms like "Bose-Einstein condensate" and "quantum entanglement" for starters and it should get you going in the right direction. For the casual reader I suggest: www.howstuffworks.com
In tell next time!
