RE: NewSteem Onslaught Continues as Vote Sellers Capitulate

in #newsteem5 years ago

I reckon the fact that leasing prices haven't crashed reveals that manual curation is merely a euphemism for off chain transactions. The rampaging horde of autoflaggers will not simply vanish either. The downvote pool burns in their pockets, and they've had a taste of blood. I shudder to think of the consequences to any stake that is hereafter shown to be posturing as undertaking organic manual curation and discovered to be accepting payment for it's votes offchain.

Not really. I do hope some folks are looking at transfers out and comparing that to post rewards of authors being curated by former bots. A bit of looking at the big winners of manual curation from former bots is likely to reveal why stake leasing hasn't declined in volume or value.

Call me cynical, but I am.

Thanks!

This would be a pretty logical explanation for why the lease market is holding up. It is difficult to know for sure if other blockchains are now being used for the transactions. I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

This is actually a bigger concern. If we start seeing content creating dolphins and minnows getting squashed with impunity then it will be a sure sign that the end is near.

This will probably be easier to identify than digging through rival blockchains looking for linkages. If I continue reporting on developments here this is probably where I will look next.
