RE: New Hive Accounts | Who is onboarding?

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Yeah that's a good idea man but you first need to have access to those keys and know who created them idle accounts. Then hope that person wants to be constructive. And this place doesn't like good productive ideas. That's why spam/zombie accounts exist because they create a fabricated and falsely inflated network.

I now suspect that this recent report which shows many accounts created by steemmonsters/splinterlands is just that. Zombie accounts to paint a false picture of greater user numbers in those ecosystems. If Leofinance is doing the same thing then that's very deceptive of both those so-called "successful dapps".

This is why I see this make believe "most popular Blockchain community" as more like a cult, now one crowded mainly with cardboard cutouts. There was once a greater growth of real users so zombie accounts weren't a big problem. It's obvious now they make the bulk of Hive.

Very troubling.
Because no big investor would take this serious when they see how fake it actually is.

Sort:  

I think you did not understand well what I said. Anyhow, I have posted a more detailed example of my idea, if you know how, you should find it out.

Yeah true I didn't really.
Reading your blog I still don't though.
But I get it enough to realise, if that can be done why hasn't it?
Wouldn't it be a positive for Hive to recover the funds in those zombie accounts?
Apart from inflated user numbers, why would so many idle accounts be needed?

If all was as simple as that way of putting out things... gosh... maybe I am getting old and slow... Anyway, everyone is doing what they can/able. Just because an idea looks good, it sometimes doesn't mean it should be implemented. There is more that needs to be done around it, like context, strategy, long term planning, consequences prediction/studies... I know this is all an experiment, but it's a very complex and large scale one with an unprecedented number of reasons it will forever be in the Crypto History. So, not as easy as it might look at first sight anymore. Anyway... I should shut... otherwise you going to fall asleep.

Wouldn't it be a positive for Hive to recover the funds in those zombie accounts?

My idea is to recover the account name, not the funds. Although in my detailed explanation I did not consider the liquid ones (that would effectively be taken over). The staked ones though would be lost. And the vision behind it is to de-incentivise attacks to "steal" funds from zombie accounts. I don't wanna promote robbery, the idea is to balance the ideological view of the effort perceived when trying to exploit blockchains, improving the relation between the two ends (good and bad).

Apart from inflated user numbers, why would so many idle accounts be needed?

You need to research a bit more. There are multiple reasons why accounts are created and sometimes not used. Most of them are actually with good intentions and/or reasons. But the main purpose of my idea was actually to protect/change the view of the desire to exploit. Some people just wanna do bad things because of hate or jealous. The beauty of open tech is that you can't think what is "right" you have to think as "everyone" might think. Otherwise, you are doomed to fail to face what you should be prepared to deal with when you were not.

I suggest you keep reading more. You seem to want to know more, and I can only tell you it will give you more clarity about the subjects you seek the answer to.

You're too diplomatic.
I guess you want in to that coder club here or you want to rise in position.

What reason could there be for the @aaa @bbb @ccc @etc accounts? Accumulatively likely meaning hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars when they existed.

Also @smooth then took all those funds...
So what's the noble reason there?

Then @themarkymark revealed an ever bigger spam account scheme that was authorized by steemit.inc
So what is the noble reason there?

It's ancient history but essentially the nutshell of this operation.
