RE: Stake-Weighted vs Account-Based Voting: Is the Trending Page About to Change!?
The only way I see a change from stake-weighted to account-based voting, is if they also enforce a KYC form, which would assure no one can have multiple accounts, or at least not more than a few. I'm not sure how many steemians would like the KYC idea. I also doubt Steemit or any other small company with an app on the Steem blockchain has the manpower to handle such work.
i think this is where, from my understanding, the SMTs and communities come into play. there will be "oracles" (leaders of the communities) that verify the people (not sure how) and the voting structures of these SMTs will allow the community to utilize the token of their group to vote the members of the group according to the values of the group. my understanding thus far from a vid i watched earlier shared here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kafkanarchy84/smts-oracles-and-account-based-voting-ned-s-asia-tour-easter-egg
Thanks for sharing! This is a must watch video, in my opinion.
This is true. And many of us already have multiple accounts, including myself. Unfortunately, a lot of people would be against this due to the whole "decentralized" nature of the blockchain. But that would have to be added which would slow down the signup process even more. I know that hard fork 20 is actually focused on speeding up that process.. so I don't know.
I totally agree. We need to limit multiple accounts for sure. I have no idea how to go about it, but this will prove essential going forward.
Sure! If 2, 3 maybe even 5 accounts can be acceptable, 100, 1000 or more is sheer abuse.
Personally, I don't understand why anyone need even so many as 5, but I agree.
There are people who create various projects, most often each needing their own account. And if you are involved in many such initiatives, it is very likely you'd need a number of multiple accounts for them.
Maybe there can be a separate "type" of account for those who run initiatives or develop projects. Because you're right; I needed a separate account for @minnowfund or otherwise Cheetah would be flagging it for plagiarism every week. I was able to setup that account and have it whitelisted by Cheetah because it met certain requirements. But yeah, I have 4 accounts for various things but couldn't really see needing more than 10 unless you're programming a lot of different apps on the blockchain.
As long as monitoring those multiple accounts to be sure they are serving a community interest is possible, effective and frequent, then sure...why not?
Hmm, that would be interesting... A different type of account... Like "business" versus "non-profit" versus "personal"?
BOScoin is doing it based on eye scanning technology. So basically ensuring uniqueness without kyc. Full disclosure I'm holding some BOScoin
Retina or fingerprint scanning, this may be a step less than KYC, but only if a hash is kept of the scan, and not the scan itself.
