Is there anything within Layer 1 that would be able to readily identify a vote as having come from a bot vs. being manually cast?

In other words, would it be straightforward for Layer 1 to add such a flag, or would that require extensive Layer 1 changes? My guess is that it would require extensive changes, but just 'wondering out loud' here.

There is no metadata on votes that would distinguish between a manual vote and an automated vote. There have been talks about adding metadata to votes (i.e. "app" flag) but no progress has been made on it and it won't be in the next hard fork.

That being said, as a large stakeholder, curating "manually" is a 4-12 hour/day job. It's hard to expect everyone is able to do such a thing.

I will try to post an explanation of what I am trying to achieve sometime soon.

The essence of it is to:

  • encourage quality manual curation (both for large and small stakeholders)
  • not severely penalize large stakeholders who don't have time to manually curate
  • encourage autovoting to accentuate quality manual curation rather than overwhelm it, stifle it, bury it, or manipulate it (intentionally or unintentionally)

I plan to detail a proposed framework, with adjustable parameters, that should be able to accomplish the above objectives. Granted there will be tradeoffs (hence the need for adjustable parameters).

The framework draws from the field of manufacturing process control.

you can do an onsite distribution, i don't know how to make it transparent, but as a site owner you can see most relevant content and reward it independent from votes, for example a share of ad revenue.

Is like the miner, but a bit different :)

How come it takes so much time to manually curate as a large stakeholder?

Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm still learning my way around the more technical stuff

Because I don’t believe dropping $30+ upvotes 10 times a day. I prefer to spread a more realistic $2-5 votes to more people. This means even more time spent curating. It is a lot of work to find 50-100 unique quality posts a day to vote on.

Ahh I imagined it was something along those lines. Thanks for the confirmation! Also, I believe that's a good mindset to have on upvotes.
