RE: Steemit is not decentralized and it's causing a retention problem. Why not give some power to the people that earn it? Here's my suggestion.
The urgency depends on where we are as far as ready to go mainstream. If we are (hypothetically) not planning to scale to billions of users for another 2-3 years, then we have 2-3 years to solve the distribution problem.
I'm not saying it is not something that needs to be resolved, or arguing with the fact that it is harming the user experience and retention in the meantime.
How we ultimately solve it is going to be very important though. IMO, it is more important that we do it 'right' than 'quick'.
I could not agree more - try to get it right with consideration all ways round rather than get it wrong quickly. There is always the other side of that coin which is that if you make a decision which turns out a bit wrong, just make another decision.
In this context though, two things spring to mind: a few bad decisions have been made and no follow-up decision has been made. Where is the policy unit? Where is the decision making process run from and how can one make representations?
Secondly, 2-3 years away is a timescale which I would refer to as being [you know me @timcliff] the sort of approach considered to be slovenly by an exercise-averse sloth!
Blockchain years are the new silicon chip years!
Other considerations: if anyone expects to have a return on time invested, where do I fill out my time sheet?
If anyone expects special treatment for what they do, I do too!
There are some very perverse perspectives about time, investment etc. Caveat Emptor. Or, as the TV stations should say more often, if you do not like it, watch another channel!
