Steemit Inc (Tron) for whatever reasons without my consent, has been trying make decisions on my behave that deeply affect me using other platforms in our ocean. I have not voted you as my witness. You don’t own me.
The DPOS protocol lets that a newly created account with 25 REP can be elected as a witness of a 4 year old blockchain.
The concept of a "social blockchain" means a human community oriented blockchain. Such a kind of blockchain needs a protocol evolution that takes into account the value of human experience, how each individual is recognized as a community member. The "reputation".
@enjar I invite you to read the following article and share your thoughts:
Reputational Enhanced Delegated Proof-of-Stake (REDPOS)
That kind of protocol should mitigate the appareance of witnesses without the consent of the established community.
Rep is a horribly broken system. It means very little to anyone these days due to the massive bid bot era. They have more than enough Steem to give themselves a massive boost in rep.
