RE: New Accounts Don't Have Enough SP to Fully Interact with the Blockchain. Should witnesses update the Max Block Size? (Discussion)

in #witness-category • 9 years ago

After reading this post and discussion, speaking with some other witnesses and getting dozens of PM's from new users about this overnight imho I think the plan should be :

  • Increase the block size immediately at least temporarily to 131,072
  • Steemit Inc should be delegating a little more (~10 sp extra)
  • Myself and other witnesses and whales should be generous in delegating ~10 SP to new users having this issue in the meantime to not give them a bad first impression.

    1. I think this is a good idea, but I don't think we should be hasty about it. A few days to talk it over among the witnesses and make sure what we are doing is good/correct would be good.
    2. Talked to Steemit, and they are going to start using 10-15 on future delegations. They are also going to see what they can do about the accounts that were brought down to 5.
    3. Agreed. In the short term, this should take care of it. I've topped-off everyone that has reported issues in steemit.chat #help. @neoxin offered to do the same above. I think if we all keep an eye out for users reporting issues, we should be able to catch/fix a lot of them.

    Good ideas, but I'm still not clear as to why the delegated SP is such an issue. Once a newbie has generated their own SP greater than the delegated one, they are running on their own steem (punintended), and the delegated power can be withdrawn and allocated to other new users.

    At that point, the newbie should be instructed that any powering down from that level will impact their ability to interact. That delegated SP is not later given back to them - they need to keep earning it. That strikes me as both fair and a reasonable game theory scenario.

    What does everyone think of that?

    It becomes an issue if/when the user takes back their delegation before the account has reached the point where they can run on their own steem.
