RE: The curation problem of HIVE. / Das Kurationsproblem HIVEs.

in #hive4 years ago

We need to attract people who enjoy community and find the crypto to be an added feature. I think if substantive comments could somehow be tied to curation rewards that would be helpful. I think if a vote without a comment (not spam) was worth less than one with a comment, you might see more reading.
I don't understand the whole idea of the 5 minute window. It seems geared to increasing raw profit taking. I know this is a crypto sphere, but in the long run, the more interesting the platform and the more engaged the participants are, the great the return on everyone's investment.

Interesting idea!

I don't understand the whole idea of the 5 minute window.

The idea is that without that 'curation window' bots could always vote faster than everybody else.
If with curation window bots vote instantly/very fast they will get no/a low curation reward, so that they have to wait and try to find the best moment to vote. And that's not so easy, because if they upvote for example exactly after five minutes, that doesn't necessarily mean a maximal curation reward in case many other users have upvoted the post earlier (for example after four minutes).

However, real curators have no chance to read, evaluate and upvote a post within five minutes, which means that auto voters get the biggest part of the curation reward in 99 % of the cases.
I think that either we should have a very large 'curation window' where it would be very difficult to guess, when an upvote leads to maximal profit or no 'curation window' at all, so that curation reward only depends on the vote weight but not on the date of the upvote (in my opinion it's a complete myth ot the manual curator who spots precious content early and should get rewarded for his efforts - that may happen as an exception, but most of the time auto votes come in early, whereas manual curators follow).

Thank you for that explanation about voting. Too complicated for me to try and understand (for my own use). I just have fun and vote. My regret is that there is vote rationing. I love to vote :)
