RE: Hive Communities: An Interview w/Steemit's Senior Product Engineer

communities have no recognizable leadership structure

I’ve wondered about the overlap between Communities and SMT’s. For instance housing. How would it be determined who had the rights to issue a HOUSING token or have leadership of the HOUSING community? First come, first served? Stake-based proposal voting? Something else?

Sort:  

The MVP of Communities uses numerical identifiers which means that no one will be able to claim the "HOUSING" community. You receive a string of numbers which you can call whatever you want. All you own is a unique ID. What you own is the Steem account that receives the unique ID.

Okay. So similar to having several accounts that might have the same display name even though they have different @accountnames
