RE: Shaved Whale Balls and MEGA CIRCLE JERKS- The economics of HF 19; a witness update.
Thanks for the analysis, this is interesting. I like all of the suggestions you've presented. I think giving more votes rather than less will allow for curators to look for more content (or whale authors will just create more content that can voted on amongst peers). And making it so less vote power is used on minnows to encourage votes is good too.
What about increasing the effect a vote has on a minnow if it comes from a whale? Further incentivizing curators to look for good content from the lesser knowns, and giving them a better chance to be seen.
That's why I want less voting power used when voting on a minnow. I think it's similar to increasing rewards when the SP spread is large.
What if you did both? It would be a boon for minnows. Your suggestion gives more votes for the whales (a good thing for them) and mine gives a better chance to be seen for the minnows (good for them).
Whales have more opportunity to go find good content to curate, minnows get the juice they need when a whale backs them :) win/win
I think it'd be awesome. They should still run them one at a time tho.
Oh for sure, agree with you on that. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting towards the minnow population
This is an excellent point and would greatly increase the incentive to vote for minnows. Let's be honest, the future of Steemit being able to scale relies on the minnows, and lots of them. If Steemit is to become what we all know and hope it can be, something needs to be in place to promote whales and dolphins alike to search for good content to curate in the minnow pool.
