RE: Tron and Steemit Join Forces
Meh. If witness votes expire frequently then all large stakeholders will just automate renewing them. I know I would.
I'd be in favor of dropping votes from fully-inactive account though. It is a reasonable debate as to whether that means six months, 1 year, 2 years, etc. This wouldn't so much be about campaigning though, since those fully-inactive accounts are likely people who are gone. It would be about not having stale/absent stakeholders still exerting influence, and yes that would include some existing witnesses losing support, which they would have to gain from other voters, or permanently drop out.
I'm still liking an affirmative action to maintain witness votes.
Both voting and holding office.
This is a game, it needs to be played.
So, longer than coding a bot is worth, once or twice a year, for me.
This will give us a blockchain holiday to celebrate.
As for dead fish, for sure 2 years, and probably 1, imo.
It will have to hinge on the active key, too many autovoters on zombie accounts.
I guess golos decided that no use of the active key >6 months and you get powered down.
Scared me into changing my keys.
I should have done it when they split into .id and .io, I guess.
All hail that blond guy!
Yeah I heard about the golos power down thing. That has some merit, but kind of scary from a security point of view. It mean people leaving accounts idle are put at risk of having their coins swept if the key gets out. I think I would prefer to just stop votes.
That powerdown is bogus.
What next?
Steal the coins after X months?
I thought they needed my keys to do that, but,....nope!
I don't think it is anywhere near as bad as stealing coins, but still not a good way to deal with the issue.
Yeah, I gave up on them when fire stuck burned them to the ground.
Does golos even trade anywhere?
It's a real shame, they could've out performed us, but you know, greedy people gotta greed.
Hated to see you shut your witness, but I get it.
I don't know if golos trades, but I'd guess maybe some small (likely shady) exchange. There are so many of them I would find it hard to believe that literally none of them trades it, but then again the Steem/Golos nodes are pretty expensive to run, so the risk that literally all exchanges and even all nodes go away is greater than it is for most blockchains.
Hmm,....
I got like 400sbd over there, in golos mostly bought at a dime.
Well, i still check my xanga.com every once in a while.
We appear to be full steem ahead, now!
