Image someday we have one million new posts a day, 10 whales with 40 votes each can only vote for 400 posts in total, and probably many votes will go to same posts, what will the other 999,600 authors think?
The problem with centralised voting is a bottleneck we need to solve for sure @abit. I wrote a serious proposal on this problem in this post: https://steemit.com/witness-category/@fyrstikken/voting-power-to-the-people-and-curation-rewards-to-the-investors-please-bookmark-and-read-later-if-you-are-busy and your experiment has given me glimpses that it would work 100% and our platform will be able to grow as large as it can.
That's a good idea, at least for brainstorm. Currently I'm not sure if it's technical doable.
Thanks.
By the way I updated my reply to your post with corrected supply data.
Thank you. I am sure @dantheman or anyone on the @steemit development team would be able to code it into solution. If there is one thing I have learned around here is that nothing is impossible, it is just software ;)
NB: that is awesome, gonna look at those datas right away.
We should have elections like in real life. As I understand voting for different witnesses can change the course of the platform.
At least these votes will actually count.
well, being a witness @rossenpavlov is a very important job. I made a video about it yesterday if you are interested in what it is that we do:
Witnesses are voted in by the stake-holders and represent therefore those who have voted them in and it is our job to work for the betterment of the platform and voice the opinions of the public in ways that can be understood by the masses.
Real life elections happens behind closed doors and votes are counted by proprietary machines or selected humans. I have no trust in such a system, we have a better open system for voting here on steem then any country has IMO.
With a few changes this platform will blossom like marijuana across the world :)
