(2) a voting system that leverages the 'wisdom of the crowd.'
If you've ever powered down HP earned from posting rewards, please don't put the responsibility for distribution issues on anyone else.
Now the way Hive is currently designed, it's not ideal to keep HP distributed and thus keep more crowd-wisdom rather than whale-wisdom. If earned HP had a longer power down time, but still had all the same influence, we'd see something closer to ideal. This can be accomplished with one balance for powered-up (bought) HP, plus legacy/current HP, and once implemented, a second balance for earned HP from that point on. The separate balances would be summed for influence purposes, so you wouldn't notice much change, but would have drastically different power down schedules. Short for the powered-up/legacy HP and a year or two (as the original Steem design worked) for earned HP. If you want to see more crowd-wisdom on Hive, support this idea and spread it around.
"If you've ever powered down HP earned from posting rewards, please don't put the responsibility for distribution issues on anyone else.""If you want to see more crowd-wisdom on Hive, support this idea and spread it around."I powered down most of my HP a long time ago because I got disenchanted with the downvote activity and outright bullying I observed that happened to other people's accounts. Things haven't changed much, and some people in particular, whether they be thot police or thought police have chips on their shoulders and act like snooty bastards.
As a platform that requires users to retain five fucking passwords, the larger stakeholders ought to act like the bigger man and kiss newbie ass while praying to the gods that they come away from it with a positive user experience. Either this, or else they will get cursed with their bags until the end of the world. And by the looks of the current state of affairs, that might not be that far off.
HIVE's motto should be: "Get gud or die trying." It'll either go on our collective Tombstone at a plot in the social media graveyard next to MySpace or etched in the top of people's minds as the replacement for Facebook and the like. Also, there's no such thing as "more crowd" wisdom. We either have it, or we don't. Tapping into the intelligence of the collective is tricky business. And although we cannot do it, that doesn't mean we shouldn't encourage people to act right for the greater good of all stakeholders. That said, I'll power up when it gets good, and I start to feel more comfortable around here. Until then, consider my bags packed and ready to go.
However, there's certainly a rumor afoot. Signs point to positive changes coming down the pike, without a doubt. As I see it, good things will happen to HIVE. But things are hazy right now, and I had better not say. I'm losing my concentration, and it's hard to focus as of late. Ask me again later on. The consensus has yet to come to order. Praise be the DEVS! Blessed be their fruit! And may they poison each others wine with a sprinkle of oxytocin.
I tried to comprehend the middle bit of what you said, but it didn't compute. That could be my fault. There's at least one fuse missing, and i'm defintetly a few fries short a happy meal. P-Funk, step to this, I dare ya. Serious though, that middle bit was hard to comprehend, the below part.
