TLDR LOL
Nah I getcha. RC stuff is complicated but if we scale more, things like Splinterlands will definitely need to be offloaded to something else, maybe it could be the start of a layer-2 DPOS built on-top of layer 1? That would be cool.
Why did you hide that gem at the very end? I skipped past it until I saw it was in Wombat's comment lol. I will have to look at their mention of an airdrop. Airdrops are always nice!
All the Splinterlands transactions are just text stored to the chain. A Hive node does nothing else about them but store them.
Why is everyone suddenly so damn worried about "blockchain bloat now"? This is patently ridiculous. Isn't activity PRECISELY what we want here? The question is that if transactions are so damn expensive, then why are they not priced properly? Hive Power gives you a right to fill a certain proportion of a block for life. All the transaction costs are being paid by speculators or ONLY new users who buy the token. Without growth the system is FUCKED because no growth means NO MONEY. But growth also means more usage and more space on blocks used.
Is someone trying to bullshit someone or should Hive consider introducing transactions fees?
Yeah I’m not too worried about any of it because I’m not on the technical part of it. Just thinking out loud about the additional layer of DPOS linked to the main chain would be cool but I haven’t the slightest clue if it’s possible or pointless. I just keep using the chain and worry about things I know.
RCs are transaction fees. They just have a zero value at the moment. The governance resource has to be separated from the bandwidth resource for maximum agility. The system we have is good, in theory. We'll be testing that in the real world soon enough. We'll have to pivot if it sucks.

You only have to pay for your RCs once when you purchase your HP. They replenish for free forever when you've paid for your HP.
