RE: [Poll] Your Opinions on Hardfork 17 Features
I would be interested to know if there is a good reason for implementing this because adding yet another wallet will only add complexity and confuse users even more, we should be aiming at reducing all these balances not increase them.
This is a required architectural change for the blockchain to support scaling in the future. If it doesn't happen now, it will need to happen someday for us to support mainstream user growth.
Too much interdependence between subsystems. The reward balance allows us to track account balances without needing to track content or votes.
What problem are you correcting?
It significantly reduces the amount of operations that must be performed to run the blockchain, which reduces the resource requirements that are necessary to run an instance of the blockchain. This is intended to help third-party developers who are interested in developing blockchain applications, as the barrier to entry (for having powerful hardware) is much lower.
It is a small inconvenience to the user, but it will be a big + for the network.
