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.

Sort:  

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!
