I also think we should add a small downvote pool (10%-25%) in case bad actors do start raising the ranks. This would be a pretty controversial addition so I'll just leave it on the back burner. It would be pretty messed up if people started politically exploiting downvotes to manipulate the ranks rather than use them to protect the network. Perhaps downvotes are not necessary, but I think a 10% point pool wouldn't be too risky. 10% is really all the network needs to slap someone down without giving big stacks too much power to solo manipulate the ranks. Even 5% would be enough.
Downvotes are against decentralization in gov IMO. So no downvotes there.
But the point system is not bad. 100 votes with 1% are not bad in general to support a lot of witnesses in the future. Support more and vote more spreads decentralization so that cool.
About 1 vote. Every witness will self vote 100% and don't vote for others. Clears the top 20, not sure it will be bad or good.
9 votes can be pretty much the same. 45% of top 20. So it would always need twice the stake :)
I would like to see more ways to support more witnesses/ get more witnesses. Also, give them a reason to host + build here.
Sure Dapps will do it, but there must be always a chance to become a top one. So I agree with vote changing. Vote decay is something others will benefit too.
In general, I think a point system would be not bad.
Probably, but it's still an untested option.
We can speculate all we want: doesn't mean we are right either way until it's tested in the field. Someone will do it.
You know, every way that's possible in abuse will happen sooner or later.
I don't see what downvotes can do with 1 point system. It can only censor people in gov.
Because a takeover would be IMO impossible, it would need around 60M hive+?
IMO it is on today's voting system also impossible. I think long term the system should be "faster" and easier to adopt. Because at the moment it is a pretty safe thing if you stay in the top 20. It blocks innovations :)
Because on the other side it is close to impossible to become top 20, doesn't matter what you are doing for the chain.
