RE: You are all a bunch of cowards!
I guess it won't really be a solution because what's stopping people from creating a second account (or asking a friend to do it) and upvote those posts instead?

The ammount of SP they have vested in their first account would stop them from creating a second account. Upvoting with a second account with very little SP in it won't yield them much rewards. Am I wrong?
On the other hand, the could transfer all their SP into this, new second account, purely for the purpose of upvoting and leave none SP on their first account.
Or, what I was thinking, they can just vote for the second account from the first one and they won't need to transfer any SP at all. Or am I missing something?
So they would have to have two account's : one only for upvoting and the other only for publishing content. But that trick is only applicable to people who are posting anything. The trick would not apply to people as myselfa, as I rarely post anything. In simple terms I rather read than write. And the majority of the users may not be publishers..
True, but even comments can be upvoted. Steem is full of spam comments that get upvoted. Anyway, let's hope they come with a solution soon.
You can have as many accounts as like like(you just need to pay the fee for them).
The number of votes matters less than the amount of vests.
Since people with multiple accounts need to split their vests, the amount of influence in the reward pool stays the same.
What fee do you mean? I don't remember paying a fee for my account?
If you signed up through Steemit, your fee is covered. But to create an account from scratch, it costs money.
Is there another way to create an account besides signing up through steemit? I didn't know but I would be very interested because my girlfriend's been trying to get an account for weeks.
You can mine a new Steem account, or pay a service to do it for you.
Steemit essentially mined your account. But didn't charged you for it.
Ah ok, thanks for explaing.
Yes you can buy one from anon steem
Ah so that really works? I was wondering about that
