(@proxy.token is a proxy witness voter in the Steemcoinpan community with 6.4 million steem power, and will decide the direction of the witness voting after reviewing witnesses' public answers to the above questions.)
Yes. Shortest should be 7 days in my opinion.
Downvotes should be able to be removed from communities with SMTs. Not from the main chain. There's a compromise to be had there.
Yes. Would you support a dev proposal for such work?
Potentially. I don't know what you mean by this but increasing revenue for users is a good thing to me.
@sct @proxy.token
With much respect to the Korean community,
I agree with these terms too.
When there is a community, we can discuss anything together.
But we can't negotiate when Justin Sun controls everything. He will do whatever he wants.
I hope you stay with the community.
Same answers for me as well.
I understand downvotes create a lot of concern for many users on the platform, and I have had friends leave the platform due to what they thought was unfair downvoting. I think solving this via community moderators may end up being a great way to prevent this abuse while still providing away to ensure the rewards pool is protected and used for valuable content instead of bots or accounts trying to extract it without providing value.
I would like to know more about what types of smart contract functionality you are interested in.
I'm also curious to know more about the paid subscription model might look like, who would benefit from it and more. Maybe a community with a built in registration and subscription fee?
Good option as the trouble of locking funds indefinitely can be addressed. May need to change or investigate the post payouts economics to decide the exact number of days IMHO.
Agree to @netuoso
Absolutely and the options explored by DanL should be investigated. There were discussions regarding Smart Contracts in the past. There was some work using a programming language called WREN also was done. Refer : https://steemit.com/blockchain/@dantheman/a-better-approach-to-turing-complete-smart-contracts
More details will be needed. That being said, attempts to make the chain self-sustainable without coin sales like what was going on will be great. There should be sustainable mechanisms to create revenue. Any reasonable means to achieve is welcome.
I agree with this comment and it is my stance as witness as well.
I agree with this
Comment and it is my stance
As witness as well.
- therealwolf
I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
I am also in agreement with everything said above.
Fully agree with everything Netuoso said, except I would be more in favor of a 4 week power down unless changes can be made to further protect hacked accounts. Right now account recovery is very questionable due to the state of Steemit Inc right now.
I also have don't understand the scenario for a paid subscription model and would need clarification on that.
I agree with everything said here.
다운보팅 학살자는 여기 얼굴 드밀지 마라.
A few days power down is too short and opens the door for vote abuse on rewards: vote, powerdown, powerup/delegate to another account, revote. This is unacceptable. The minimum should be >7 days (past the reward payout). Also, short powerdowns allow hackers/phishers to steal funds very fast before account recovery is processed. The power down has been extensively discussed and I'm in favor of a 4 week period, it's a good compromise especially for security reasons.
The downvotes were designed to prevent abuse, otherwise it would be a wild west for circle jerking and reward milking. However as mentioned by @netuoso, with the upcoming SMT's you can control downvotes and exclude bad users are you please.
Sure, why not, adding technology to the STEEM blockchain is always welcomed. It may require a lot of development (look at SMT's... we're still waiting for them after 3 years of promises).
You can have your own model right now without any additional blockchain development. By creating accounts for users yourself and giving the private posting and active keys to your subscribers, while retaining the master password and owner key. After the subscription expires, you change the password, which will consequently change all the private keys. If the user renews subscription, you give them the new posting/active key. And finally, with communities, you can grant the users access to them or not. The current system is very flexible as you can see, and readily allows a custom tailored subscription model.
I hope I answered all your concerns. I'm witness @drakos and your vote would be appreciated, especially in this troubled time. Thank you.
Interesting idea re paid subscription model - it already works. So why not use it.
And it's easy to implement in any web app.
Hey @sct, @proxy.token team.
It seems you already moved in a direction with the new tron imposed witnesses without giving time to chat to the old community selected witnesses.
To clarify to you the situation a bit further, we are at a stance that could make or break the steem blockchain. There are clearly malicious actions taking place from tron side to overtake the steem blockchain which started in coordination with exchanges as well, with the real intent is to simply move steemit as a dapp to tron and without any real plans for steem as a blockchain. This jeopardizes the existance of the blockchain itself.
This is why our community and witnesses and pushing to ensure the blockchain is controlled by the community, not a single entity imposing tron's intentions, which is at the core of how decentralized systems are intended to function.
In terms of your questions, and while we cannot respond on behalf of the community or the witnesses, yet we can at least confirn our vision altogether to grow and improve the blockchain in itself, including SMTs(smart contracts) and creating further growth roadmaps.
The time now is to work on ensuring the survival of steem blockchain and creating a better community-induced growth to it.
In the worst case, and should you still believe that the whole community stands differently than the way you perceive things, and as we believe you would intend for the whole ecosystem to grow, and if you sense you are undecided as to how to proceed, i would suggest removing your current votes so as not to tilt the balance to any side.
Thanks for your comments.
we had a long discussion with steem members including witnesses and cleared key issues few hours ago. You may find it has done what you wished.
Thanks for the positive reaction and discussions.
Thank you, indeed very appreciative of this, i was joining/chatting intermittently to the team on discord due to being on the road.
Looking forward for further collaboration to grow Steem further, all together.
What do you mean by removing upvote policy as well? Does that mean we do not have any voting for steem level? If it were the case, how do we distribute rewards?
It means no STEEM reward pool, but SMTs only.
The STEEM "rewards" would only then be from witnesses and from inflation in our SP. Currently, we all gain 2.x% for having SP.
I see. Interesting idea.
Thank you for the info!
Too late. The Witnesses compromised the system by trying to block people's funds.
Now let's imagine that Coinbase is introducing Steem. How can they be sure that Witness won't vote to freeze their accounts?
If they are going to act the same way Binance , Poloniex and Huobi did, they better not list Steem at all...
LOL. The Witnesses wanted to activate the soft fork preventively. They created this whole problem.
Unfortunately, users have most problems created by witnesses.
The implementation of the soft fork (which is reversible) went through AFTER he announced his “token swap” plan, as a defense till things are crystal clear.
Do you even realize that most likely you would be holding TRX now instead of STEEM?
And now you have a group of people who support him. Maybe instead of introducing preventative censorship, you should have talked to the users that the witnesses officially represent?
For the average network user, it does not matter what the network is called, but how it will work. Will the network on Tron be better or worse than Steem? I don't know. But Steem is not a perfect project and never will be (because it doesn't even try).
It's just a pure political system. If you don't go to elections in your country, why do you vote for Witness, who are politicians and make decisions for you? It's possible that, like all of us, you have zero influence on the network.
Do you even know what Tron network is? A casino. That’s what it is. Do you really think that those thousands of users that are against him and his methods wanna hurt Steem or their investments?
I quit trying...you obviously don’t understand
It could be a casino platform. I don't use Tron and I don't know. But they also have a video and file sharing platform.
Steem has cards (Steem Monsters) and writing entries for money.
I am neutral. Both roads have their pros and cons. You can have your thoughts and that's it.
Wrong. Justin Sun did it by publicly announcing he was going to dismantle the blockchain. He said he was going to destroy it. I still believe he meant it.
And yet there are people who liked these changes. Maybe there should finally be some debate? Unless there's always a "master" ruling the "plebs" and it's not worth talking about.
But the proxy.token has an opinion.
How many people liked the idea of the chain being destroyed?
Look, if Steem were to be dismantled and the code ported to the Tron blockchain as a set of smart contracts, then none of use would have any power over anything. Because the Tron foundation has complete control over Tron blockchain, we'd be at the complete mercy of Justin Sun. That if anything is master ruling over plebs if anything. Is that what you really want? Because that's what you get if you stab the community in the back by voting for Justin Sun who is trying to turn Steem into a centralized network.
And here, the Witnesses have all the power over everything.
https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/3542
Some time ago I suggested switching to Proof of Stake to increase decentralization and prevent such attacks. Nothing has been done. Even a proposal was to change TOP20 to TOP100 (which would also make this kind of attack impossible).
You know why?
Because nobody cares about decentralization. The point is to be in TOP 20 witnesses, to make money.
It's possible. But the situation is like a plane crash. The fixes are only after people die.
Thanks for the questions.
While shorter power-down period adds flexibility to investors so that they can get out sooner when needed, on the other hand, it adds uncertainty to decision making E.G. SPS voting thus may impact development.
IMO the system should find a balance to attract both short-term and long-term investors. Perhaps we could have 2 types of SP, one type is short-term which is for daily activities E.G. posting and post voting, the other is long-term which is for decision making E.G. witness and SPS voting.
"Gaming the reward pool" has always been a concern, that's why the down-voting feature is there. IMO down-voting should cost the voter something, because "stake talks". For example, my @adm account has been "donated" to @steemcleaners to fight bad contents since the very beginning of Steem, at my own cost.
Introducing smart contract is generally a good idea. However, there might be technical issues involved. On the other hand, although there are a few blockchains with smart contracts doing well, there are also quite some blockchains support smart contracts but nobody use them. The competition is hot. So, I'd say, if we have the resources (developers, funds and etc) and we can afford to lose the competition, we can do it. The key is to find our niche.
I'm not sure what does this mean. It seems a business on top of the chain to me, but not something to be built into the consensus. Generally we welcome all legit businesses.
We have always been very grateful for all the support that you have given us. It's an immense help to Steemcleaners' members for their hard work. Some work full time for Steemcleaners spending between 15-20 hours per week.
Can this not be resolved with the upcoming SMTs? People can design their power-downs however they see fit, no?
I would like Steem, as the backbone of it all, to ultimately be incredibly robust and stable in which people can't just P&D, hack & steal, and so forth.
Well anyway, I do think 13 weeks seems weirdly arbitrary and lengthy, but 1 month seems totally reasonable to me
支持两种类型的sp
I am open to discussions to lower it further (mind you the powerdown had changed from 2 years to 13 weeks) however I want to prevent too much "fast food voting" where investors come & go and just move to steem for some botvoting for a week and move out again. I'd consider that raping the reward pool and destructive to the community.
If used for its intended reasons it is a great way to curate or anti-curate content. If abused it is an annoyance. Removing down-voting alltogether might fix a lot of drama's :)
I am not certain the Steem chain is really optimized for executing smart contracts. Curious what you are thinking of and/or missing specifically.
Again, I'm curious to learn more about this. If it's about unlocking encrypted content only to those paying... Interesting and could be a nice business model!
With regards,
@roelandp

I'm not negating shortening power down period, but there are serious security implications (as you can see in current case - exchanges were willing to abuse funds just because they were promised to PowerDown fast). Such "light" stake should be restricted when it comes to impact on governance.
One of many potential solutions was presented some time ago by Steemit Inc., but recent events caused their leading blockchain developer to resign.
Votes whether up and down are integral part of Steem, i.e. e-Steem-ation of content via so called proof of brain (but sometimes lack of there of). I'm happy to see SMTs that combined with communities can figure out their own reward distribution models that would include no downvotes if a given community desires so.
Steem itself isn't designed for smart contract, but it's possible to use similar solution to a middle-ground blockchain for compiled code and smart contracts that one of our witnesses developed to enable it for BitShares users.
I don't know what you mean by that but I beleive that's something UI based that's up to service providers. Steem transactions are free.
Please note that the witnesses are not really someone who make decisions. Witnesses are servants of the platform providing security and reliability to serives, like in every DPoS system there are stake holders who vote accordingly to their desired way of how Steem should look like.
These days there's also Steem.DAO that can be used to vote for desired changes and implementations and their funding.
Thank you for voting responsibly and at least not allowing centralized entity to override governance of the platform.
Have there been any conversations about providing token holders incentives to use the savings account? Higher interest rates, perhaps? I feel it would be wise to keep Steem Power the way it is, including the 13 week powerdown period. But I also realize some want incentives to hold the token PLUS cash out quickly, so I think the ideal solution is to allow savings to grow faster, but not be as profitable as holding Steem Power.
Savings had the sole purpose of security feature in case of hacking, but there were talks for SBD APR being applied only to balance in savings.
Providing more options for investors, in my opinion, is far more beneficial than constantly tweaking things that work just fine.
Despite our differences you guys are also Steem stakeholders. Some of you big ones.
Aren’t you concerned that your investment might go down the toilet? Just look at Justin’s methods...
He only cares about his personal growth. Not you not me and definitely not Steem.
If you are uncertain of what you should do simply do nothing. There might not be Steem at all after this vote of yours...
Reconsider
To the korean community:
First of all, thanks for having upvoted the necessary amount of top witnesses to protect the chain against being controlled by one single entity. That was a honourable step.
Second we would like to comment on your opinion requests:
I have my serious doubts about shortening the power down period to less than 4 weeks. The problem I mainly see is that a too short period will give custodians accounts - such as exchanges - the possibility to power-up customer stake to inference in the blockchain governance. Today we are protected by the fact that powering-up the stake will effectively lock the customers liquid stake which could derive in the possibility for them to perform withdrawals on request. Imagine what would happened if you go to your bank to cash out some money and they deny your paynment due to liquidity shortage. Even worse, the bank tells you that they have invested your stake in a long-term investment fond.
At the same time,I agree that 13 weeks could be too long for a sort-to-mid term investors type and it could force them to his invested stake liquid loosing the paid interest rate distribute among SP holders to compensate inflation.
I in-fact see the need of the actual downvoting policy and I will not willing to remove it until we find a way to ensure or support content discoverability. As you know, we are a content oriented social network. The economic incenivation should be done in a way that the network rewards "good" content better than bad or abusive content, Of course, content curation is subjectve measurement but we need a way to signalice likes as well as dislikes. Might be it will be usefull to have other kind of not that negative user interface, since a just a dislike (downvote) is not representative enough. Sometimes you agree that a post would be not worth more than, han 10 dolars. If the potential reward at the time of voting is 20 dolars, the curator will press the "downvoting". The autor would than get the impression than the curator does not like his post at all, but in reallity, he likes it, just not "that much". Perhaps a change in the UI to signalice that you are willing to value it at 10% and the sistem performs the vote/downvote automatically depending on your tarhet value.
I think to introduce smart-contracts capabiities into STEEM blockchain will result into more costly and unpredictable operations. Thd good thing about steem that it does not too many things - only social operations - but these are quick and cheap and much more escalable for a muldi dapp blockchain.
And at least, sorry for my bad english. As you might know, im a proud spanish native speaker.
Cervantes, can you write a witness post so that I can resteem it on my blog?
My Spanish is bad, but I'll try:
¿Puedes escribir un post en el blockchain describiendo porque la gente debería votar para ti? Yo quierdo a resteem tu post.
Okay, I'm happy to use this opportunity. Not only because of the current situation, but because I think there have been a lot of misunderstandings with me, @curangel and its team the last months.
I personally like the longer power down, because it prevents me to take emotional decisions. I'm sure it is a big reason why I'm still interested in this community after 4 years. I also understand that other characters might prefer to get liquid sooner.
As other witnesses said, <7 days is difficult due to double-voting concerns. But 7 days+ for the voting stake is absolutely no issue. I would prefer when stake used for witness and SPS voting needs longer to unstake, to prove a long term commitment with these important decisions.
I am not trying to enforce my own opinion on everyone though, so if a decision between two technically sound solutions has to be made I generally try to take up as much community feedback as possible and act accordingly.
Definitely for communities and their SMT when they choose so.
For STEEM, I deem it very important to have a countermeasure to excessive self voting. If that didn't exist, I would have to self vote myself all the time, and could not use all my stake to support as many small users as possible just for the curation rewards.
Smart contract platforms do currently have scaling and other issues. But if a good solution to the problems which became emergent on all these platforms, which had to fight with chain congestions and even halts, is found, this would absolutely be a worthwhile addition. Requires time and funding though, something as complex as that can not be rushed.
Yes, either in the ways already described by for example drakos, or even better an implementation that automatically burns a percentage of the subscription fee.
I really appreciate these clearly formulated questions, and welcome anyone who wants to approach me with more to meet me on discord, write me an email or comment on a post of mine. I have always tried to be accessible to all parts of the community and especially to the non-english ones, and hope we can all find ways for better communication in the future.
I have a request too: If anyone can connect me with a curator who is interested in searching for exceptional but undervalued content in languages curangel doesn't cover enough yet, please do so! I have made several attempts especially for Korean, but unfortunately did not receive replies so far.
