Many thanks for the explainer. I had no idea what the KE score was and what it meant. I feel better informed, but still not clear on why this is necessary. It would seem that this would negatively impact folks who spend their hard earned Hive/HBD using tools like the V4Vapp or the new Hive debit card. Or does that not factor into the equation? If this is for reputation, it seems odd given we all already have a reputation score. Perhaps the significance or value of this ranking is simply lost on me.
I'm learning myself. I think spending does not matter, but the conversion or unstaking. As far as reputation, it's helpful but not perfect at all.
Conversion of Hive to HBD or conversion to savings for both Hive and HBD? Or is it more for things like powering up Hive?
I can understand the negative impact of unstaking or powering down to the overall community if it were done at a mass scale. I also know that there are folks who are making some or perhaps maybe all of their living on their content. Hive then becomes their entrepreneurial side hustle or perhaps even their full time business.
I most definitely want Hive to be a robust chain that has folks who are not in this for a "get rich quick" scheme. I personally haven't encountered those kinds of folks. Everyone I've met or connected with is committed to the health and longevity of Hive.
Not sure about the Hive to HBD conversion to savings. I would think that would actually be strong for the ecosystem and KE score, but I don't know. Pretty sure it is about HP though.
I think like most things, it will prove itself out over time. Again, thanks for the explainer post.
If you spend all your earned HBD, you would end up at a KE of 2, right? But some have a score of 20 and more, even 2000! So they repeatedly powered down and sold all earned Hive. Why I should upvote them when I could upvote also users who don´t sell out?
I think the fact we can all choose what sort of content and creators we want to or do not want to curate certainly speaks to your point. I agree that if there are more people here who only want to game the system and get what they can out of it without investing or adding value, is not a good thing at all.
Which is one of the many reason I am grateful for all the dedicated developers, creators, and curators who day in an day out are committed to a healthy, growing, and sustainable Hive.
