Showing the number of votes as well as the weight would be very easy.
To do the percentage completion idea you talked about, the worker could break his task down into multiple proposals with payouts for each stage/milestone.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I was referring to coming up with a way to weight voting not only by stake of weight of vote, but by # of votes. For instance if someone had a proposal that was voted on by a lot of minnows with no stake they could rank higher than someone who proposes something that gets 1 vote from a "whale". I could see how if you do it based solely on # of votes that could be gamed by creating a bunch of nothing accounts, but would like proposals to go through other than those voted on solely by 1 or 2 big whales.
Agreed it would be easy for the person proposing the idea to break it down. I was just assuming it would be harder to automate something like that instead of someone just coming up with an idea needing x sbd per day to implement y which could be automated more easily.
Ah, so you didn't just mean you wanted to "see" the number of votes, you want the number of votes to affect which proposals get funded. Unfortunately, this can't really be done because a single user can easily have as many accounts as they want to buy.
Indeed, because of the nature of the original mining process, many whales have dozens or more accounts. And some hackers have abused the faucet run by steem to create thousands of accounts. So using vote counts is pretty useless. To make it useful, the chain would need some way to verify "one person, one vote".
