RE: Steem Basics: Why Steem is an Application-Specific Blockchain

in #steem6 years ago

If I FEEL my car's brakes are okay, but they're a dripping screeching mess, does that postpone the time when they finally fail?

As for transitioning to another mechanism, I doubt they could do so easily - especially with an inherently inflationary token like Steem.

Sort:  

After reading through your comments, I believe you are just misinformed. Steem isn't pos, its dpos. This has disadvantages compared to PoW which is still clearly the best solution in profit of decentralization. But it also has a lot of advantages, the biggest one being the lack of competition to mine blocks.

Also STEEM isn't inflationary anymore, it's very similar to other crypto currencies now. It's been changed about a year ago or something. It used to be ultra-inflationary, but it's not anymore.

It is still inflationary, there is no max supply. It goes down to 1% per year, then stays at 1% per year.

Right, still less or comparable to the currency you and I use everyday.

Just wanted to clarify.
