RE: Selling and Buying of Steemit accounts
Multiple accounts
Give people the option to make "shadow accounts" linked to your main profile and take away the ability for the "shadow accounts" to vote for the main account. Also we need a way to make it harder for creating multiple main accounts. The verification system that is now in place is very easy to circumvent.
I like that !!
yup, that way people can have multiple accounts but won't abuse the self voting
Agree with that; And although the system makes it possible, I find it stealing.
Then again; after that there will be always be new "smartasses" who'll find others ways to "cheat" with the system
That's true, nothing is full proof, but at the moment it feels more like anything goes. Maybe it was designed that way on purpose.
I hope not, otherwise my "career" here won't be till the end of days, hahaha. And I'm shure a lot of others think the same way.
I have not read anything about sale of accounts. But regarding the multiple accounts In steem whitepaper you can see that this is already mentioned. 100SP whether it is distributed between 10 accounts or 1 account it will still have the same clout. So I don't think there is any issues with creating multiple accounts.
Over the time we will see more serious publishers getting on to steem. Once they create their brand and if they consider selling their whole company they might also need to transfer the steem account to the new owner. In cases like these it doesn't make sense to selling of accounts.
Looking at these scenarios I think the creators of Steem were ok with creation of multiple accounts and buying/selling of accounts.
