RE: Stake-Weighted vs Account-Based Voting: Is the Trending Page About to Change!?
You bring up some great points. I like the idea of using reputation as a factor in determining voting weight. I've actually never even considered that before. Of course, people can also build their rep by using upvote bot accounts... but I think that rep should factor in somewhere. Maybe even a combination of rep + stake + amount of votes.
Sure, Brandon. Like I said, we need a middle ground between the current system and one-vote, one-account. It could certainly be a combination (algorithm) of a variety of factors, for sure. As you rightly pointed out on the video just now, that is ripe for abuse, and would be as bad, or worse than the current system.
I really think we need to get Ned thinking about this for Steemit.com, and not just on these other spinoff ideas/platforms.
I agree. It's like Steemit was originally the guinea pig for the Steem blockchain and was the testing grounds to prove out the concept. And now it's almost like SMTs have assumed that role. I think we'll see many changes coming to Steemit.com in the future as the community continues to voice these ideas for change. It's just a matter of the witnesses getting together, and coming to a consensus about how we should proceed.
The ability to change/adapt with community input is what makes this place revolutionary, and potentially a major, major threat to the"big boy" platforms out there. PLEASE, if you get wind of any undercurrent among the whales/witnesses for moving the rewards system in the direction we're talking about, do another video on it (and try squeezing it in well before your trip.) BE WELL and safe, btw...and have a great trip!
Thanks @mepatriot, I definitely will. I appreciate it! :)
