For purposes of this proposed directive, any account that has received significant token delegations or transfers (and vice versa) will generally be considered an ‘alt account’ until evidence or adequate explanation is provided to the contrary.
I am really concerned about this provision. In my case, I have delegated more than 90% of my #pobpower to @amr008. Going by this provision, I would be an alt account of @amr008. Though I would love to be branded like one but this is not correct. There is a need to identify the alt accounts using a different method.
An account that is clearly an aggregator would not be deemed an alt account with each of its participants. This provision is meant to be a warning that alt accounts will be subject to the same restrictions, and the best way to discover alt accounts is through the money trail.
This provision will be subject to 'common sense' in its application.
However, feel free to propose an alternative method for identifying and handling alt accounts. This proposal is merely a first step in trying to improve upon the status quo.
What a joke.
New ALT accounts can be created 100% anonymously. If needed - even while hiding behind fake IP's on VPN, TOR
ALT accounts can be funded from exchanges, if needed - from anonymous CEX/DEX accounts, or using privacy coins (DASH, Monero)
Good luck in trailing them !
I think you're missing the point. It's the stake that is being followed from the account, which can be done with relative ease.
Well, that's an interesting take on it. I think his statement would need to be reworded. My take on alt accounts was if it was alternate accounts owned by someone. Like my scholaris.pob account is an alt of my scholaris account. @trostparadox could you please provide a clarification?
@onealfa.pob thank you for the elaborating the point.
@calumam I guess you would understand my point better. When you are running the word of the week contest, you would be delegating good amount of pob power to a lot of people. Do you think if one of them goes rogue, and you are supporting him generously with your tips and the delegation, you should be punished for that ?
I've questioned this within myself often (you'll see how often I have changed the reward structure of WOTW and my own voting habits). Recently I changed the rewards to direct powered-up POB which removes the monitoring needed for watching votes while delegating.
We'll have large delegations for the end of season rewards, but I'll likely have some terms in place which provide the ability to remove the delegation if certain actions happen (the benefit is that most of the WOTW winners are top quality community members).
If it's my delegation, I am accountable by proxy. My reputation and integrity should be judged based on that.
@gimmetricks1, I have posted a new proposal that clarifies the procedure for evaluating suspected alt accounts.
(It also requires explicit citation of the reason for every downvote and eliminates the de minimus downvote option.)
Both proposals will remain active until they expire (i.e. when their respective payout windows close).
You are free to vote on one or both or neither. Whichever one receives greater than 50% upvotes first will be ratified, and the other will become moot.
