RE: If you could change one thing to make Hive better, what would it be?

in Ask the Hive5 years ago

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.

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.

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.

Yes but unfortunately, this can be automated too. Everything can be automated it seems - which isn't a good sign for humans :D

It would reflect current attitudes and needs.

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.
