RE: Hive Hardfork 25 is on the Way: Hive to reach Equilibrium on June 30th, 2021

in #hive3 years ago

I believe that the first possible vote expiration is a year from the hard fork. This line in the code seems to confirm that belief as it simplifies to mean: HARDFORK_1_25_FIRST_GOVERNANCE_VOTE_EXPIRE_TIMESTAMP = HIVE_HARDFORK_1_25_TIME + HIVE_GOVERNANCE_VOTE_EXPIRATION_PERIOD
where HIVE_GOVERNANCE_VOTE_EXPIRATION_PERIOD = 1 year.

Sort:  

So this isnt retroactive?

I was hoping witness votes would be removed at HF launch for all that didnt do a governance action in the last year and from there apply forward.

It's not retroactive, it will impact the witness list a year from the hardfork.

It might have an effect sooner since people may realize that they need to be active (and prompt some updates) if they don't want their votes erased. For truly abandoned votes/accounts, it will take a year.

Good point!

Yeah. Well that sucks. But i guess its expected. They wouldnt allow for any other change.
The same witnesses will maintain their oligopoly over the chain for another year all based on the fight against Justin when people voted for whoever wasnt Justin..

I wish it were.

Thank you :)

hmm I don't know how much work it would be, but I would prefer a faster cleanout.

Like 6 months in the past from the HF date. So the chain would honor more the active, and not honor them 1 year from HF date.

IMO would be not a bad thing.

It doesn't really make a big difference, running simulations using the current HF date, we only see one or two current witnesses fall out of top 20. It's definitely something more for LONG term. What seems to happen more is that some of the really inactive witnesses fall down some more(those who are sub 100 and haven't been around for years).

sure it but it clears out the picture more :)
