You made me go to my thinking chair. Which is also my reading chair, my napping chair and my all round favorite spot. I thought of several things, none of which will take Hive to the stars. Tweaks, really.
The thing I believe I'd change has to do with stake voting. When I was a sub minnow I thought that stake weighted voting was the worst thing I'd ever heard of. Now, I get it and actually support it.
What I'd change is decayed voting. Do you know that there are accounts here on Hive that vote significant stake that have NEVER logged into Hive? The votes are carry over from Steem.
I think the answer is simple, really. If you haven't logged in to the platform in the previous quarter your vote power becomes 0 until you do log in.
At least in theory this would provide an active and engaged vote pool. It would reflect current attitudes and needs. It would seem more fair to the smaller stake holders. It would give active people a greater voice in the direction of the platform.
Thanks for a great question. I look forward to the answers.
This has been brought up before, often around witness voting behaviors. It would be interesting in my opinion if witness votes decayed over say 6 months, and then had to be manually reset in order to start again - continual opting in.
Yes but unfortunately, this can be automated too. Everything can be automated it seems - which isn't a good sign for humans :D
This is important in a Proof of Brain economy, right?
I'd be really happy with that solution. I think that currency (being current) IS REALLY important in Proof of Brain. Stale is, well, stale.
Thanks again for what's ended up being a really good forum.
