RE: The Bot Voting Debate - A possible solution?

in #steem9 years ago

I didn't suggest ip's at all in fact I clearly said the session is tied to accounts only. Restrictions on IP are not effective and cause problems in general. The only way IP is locked in is of the witness your client relays transactions to during a session. This stops multiple machines publishing transaction for one account.

Ah sorry I must have miss read it I sometime read to fast.

Now I get what your saying that makes sense but then things like steemvoter or steemian how would they work voting for you if you are also active?

You couldn't without multiple session keys. There is reason to have them in multiple clients and machines you have open at once. But it is part of the vote automation problem. People are doing this to chase a thin sliver of curation rewards. Whales have more interest in this because it contributes to their steem power. I think overall people are fighting over really a small pool and if you could get some extra interest but not have to vote it would make it a lot less contentious. Whales would vote less and minnows effect would be increased.

Do you think that adding more active users could also help with this as well?

I think it is the other way around. Currently whales dictate success on rewards. If whales could get some guaranteed proportion of what might have been curation rewards also the remainder would increase the pool and minnow votes would give bigger rewards.
