This is a fascinating idea. I've perused the previous article but am having difficulty wrapping my mind completely around it.
I'd like to try and put it into layman's terms if possible. Is the algorithm in a sense a means of formulating an assessment the user's value apart from say circle jerking bots and straight self-voting?
Is the algorithm robust enough to identify users who use proxy accounts to self-vote via bid bots? I know one top witness in particular that engages in this sort of thing and I find it quite deceptive as it makes it seem like they are less of a self-voter than they really are. Basically the activity would entail delegating SP to a bid bot delegation scheme, transfer the liquid Steem/ SBD to their proxy, and then use that account to self-bid.
If possible, I would appreciate if the algo. can account for this sort of apparently veiled behavior and adjust UA accordingly.
BTW,
Put together Steemconnect links to delegate to yall. About to do so myself.
Good idea!
