RE: Curation On Steem - Let's Talk About It

in #dtube5 years ago

Could an incremental approach to change be an easier pill to swallow? You might not be able to get people that rely on the old system to buy into slashing their own throat, but it might be easier to take an incremental tweak and see sort of approach. You'd think that any tweak in the allocation should produce a measurable result, with any tweak in the favor of curators being a good thing. So maybe you could do a 5% quarterly bump with milestones attached to it until you get to the ideal 50%. The slower incrementation would give time for the people with big stakes to adjust under a new regime. If a milestone didn't get hit, the progression could be reevaluated.

Sort:  

As long as selling votes or delegating to bid bots far outweighs curation, we will always have the issues we have today. I believe it's 50/50 or it wouldn't work as planned.

I also agree that you can't sustain this economy long term if the incentives are only based on the spirit of giving. The incentives need to be skewed more towards participation.
