Personally, I think these posts are the best place to be 'wasting' RCs at present 😊
My gut feeling was that the numbers were not going to be spot on first time around. A 10x increase in RCs is a start, and there may be more to come. The balance between cutting the legs off the abusers, and allowing the good to engage freely is tough, but im hopeful that with the community feeding back, this will be achieved.
It may be that 'we' need to support, as many do at present, young, promising accounts with delegation - I am happy to that if it means less crap on the network.
As far as the Leagues go, this week will go ahead as usual. I have been 'concerned' recently with comments that would he be better served over the phone and on discord. Ideally, less of these and more inclusive remarks, which allow others to join in a conversation, will be the output of these changes.
Cheer man, have a good day.
I resonate with your patience with giving RCs a chance to adjust, and the need for a system like them for SMTs to work in HF21. However, I just discovered that new users only get delegated 5SP now. Also that the 10x is by the pool, not by the person.
That means that even "round 2" of the RC allotments will still mean new users can only comment or post once per day! And that's if they get the full 10x. More likely that distribution will also be top heavy.
That's outrageous. Clearly we need to skip the 10x and go straight to 100x, and instead of making it go by current RC/SP, have it be an inverse relationship. I honestly don't need a 10x, though I'd appreciate my VP/mana coming back over 80%. But I will likely get more than 10x. And lots of people who can't possibly comment/post as much as their current RC allows (which for me right now is more than 100 per day of each, pah!) will now get more. Meanwhile the plankton still will not be able to hardly function.
Please urge who you can urge to skip 10x and go to 100x now. We can adjust based on system feedback after that for round 3 of RC algo adjustments.
And let's move away from this idea of how much SP you have being what determines if you're a spammer all together. There is no relation between the two. If RCs will be used to cost actions, which makes sense, then new users should be given enough to behave normally, which is more like 20 comments per day. A spammer can't succeed with only 20 comments per day, but a normal person can.
It would have been nice for the RC-developers to track the work of your League of Engagement with a pseudo-RC to estimate resource usage and develop initial parameters. It seems like their initial setup was designed to reward future blockchain uses, rather existing social platform activity.
There's a part of me that knows this was always in the white paper, that is, the social platform not being a priority in the long run. But it's still hard to see. For folks that built up their SP, it could be good financially as some blockchain projects pan out, but it still is a shame to lose the sense of community and connections with people we've gotten to know and appreciate.
I agree. Hopefully the balance has been found. From my Leagues post this week, it seems that HF 20 didn't cause too much of an issue to the accounts who are at least minnow status.
Personally, and I've said this many times, I don't think that STEEM will ever moon based on it's main value coming from Blogging. If we want the token value to rise, I think we have to accept that there has to be value coming from elsewhere. I agree though, to chop the legs off the bloggers/engagers completely is unwise, and I hope that that a compromise is found (perhaps it has just been found) so we can continue growing here, and the token can grow in other ways too.
