RE: Why I Advise Against Linear Reward

in #steem6 years ago

They're up for grab for the next least selfish self-voters. The most likely contender for countering selfvoting is independent flagging pool along with burning of flagged reward, which I guess due to technical implementation difficulty doesn't have much traction.

Indeed. It's a loophole with serious issues as I've stated.

Leaving the rest for grab for the next least selfish self-voters leaving the same loophole open as I understand it.

"next least selfish" = Not selfish.

Not sure how you understand it otherwise.

It doesn't put potential abusers at a disadvantage.

yes it does

Of course it does. They are more likely to be downvoted. Even if it isn't 100% guaranteed it pushes their incentives toward better (less likely to be downvoted) behavior

True but under linear reward, the rewards returned would represent a growing % of the reward pool with ever-growing incentive to defect.

Under crowdsourced flags, this isn't so.

Crowd-sourced? Compared to what?

I'M really not sure I understood their crowdsource concept correctly but if so, flags would have a separate pool and would be non-linear.
