RE: Report from the shallows. #11
It's really a community thing.
Smooth and Abit ran the whale experiment until the hardfork put an end to it.
We, as a community, need to stop fawning on the folks with the money.
Instead of looking to Ned, and the others, to give out big votes we just need to build our own followings and our rewards will grow as the community does.
It would probably help to educate folks on who big votes take money away from.
Do you think that people could use that knowledge to try and justify voting on their own comments or some other means to try and get more of a share of the rewards pool?
The problem is human nature, but the system was designed to facilitate unfairness. It's interesting to see the have-nots pander to the haves.
The unequal nature of the platform is inherent in it's manufacture.
They had to assure themselves sufficient stake to prevent attackers from crashing the platform.
They don't have to play their stake the way that they do, but this is the nature of the beast.
As time goes on the distribution will equalize and smaller players will have more incentive to play.
For the immediate future the best we can do is point out that vote buying/selling is reward pool rape no matter who and how many do it.
The sellers profit without contributing and the buyers contribute without profiting.
It really is just running them on a treadmill to make money for the folks that already have most of it.
You can see from this post that the redistribution from the top to the bottom is occurring, albeit slowly.
