That's a great point that the comments could be posted only when someone tries to upvote a post after the 7 day window. My initial thought when I read that was how in that case only a very small percentage of posts would get votes after 7 days, so the overall effect on the size of the blockchain might not be huge at first. But then I realized this would open things up for rewards pool abuse, like people had mentioned before. It would be hard to stop people from setting up a recurring upvote on all/some of their posts that just repeats every 7 days, which would discourage creating new content like you mentioned. And I guess it would only be a matter of time before it still led to the blockchain getting too large.
Yeah I'd like to keep learning more about EOS. I have a bit right now just because it sounded promising, but I'm still trying to understand STEEM better so I haven't invested a ton of time to researching other projects. Will be interesting to see how EOS develops this year after the actual tokens are released.
Thanks again for your comments and explaining all of this to me! Would you mind if I made a follow up video summarizing some of the points you made? Totally understand if you'd rather I don't!
Also have not dedicated much time to learning about EOS yet, learning STEEM is a big enough task. Lisk also looks interesting, another POS chain and their main sdk is Javascript.
👍 No worries at all dude. Make the video. Interested to hear the summary.
Oh awesome, will have a look at Lisk!
And will definitely make the video! I think trying to figure out how to summarize it will help me understand it too. 🤓
