Maybe the service could only be paid for in SBD that got burned (sent to @null), like promoted.
There's an account doing something along these lines, I believe it's @promoted. Upvote bot that rewards using the built-in promote tool that burns SBD, helping with inflation.
Sounds like a good idea. I believe no one has the private key to @null - but the SBD still exists?? An SBD destruction process is still being planned I read somewhere??
A fair point. I guess null technically has a lot of SBD. It would be quite a sleeper heist if someone had the key for it and held onto it until "the right time(tm)".
I think it'll be technically destroyed via code a long time before someone uncloaks the private key!
Ah, yes, but what if someont at Steemit Inc stashed the private key away somewhere at creation? I assume it was available to someone at some point.
Who knows?? It's all part of the Steemit game theory fun - I just recorded an excellent Daily Dose episode on that for tomorrow - with my new microphone too ... Sargon beware!! :)
Looks like it has had 102475 Steem transferred to it!
Nice conspiracy theory :)
Wow, is that all? People really don't use promoted, do they?
Not a lot I guess. I never look at the tab, so can't imagine using it myself.
