RE: Creating a more Secure, Fair, and Decentralized Steemit #1
I dont think it does. Bringing this to public attention was the important part.
Agree i think lower voting power for a same user could work but something else like # of random users should apply.
Or maybe something like if you vote with 10 other people on 10 of the same posts in a row your voting power goes down, but i also like the idea of trails in some aspects. So maybe if there are X amount of random users along with you it doesnt go down? This would take some thought
Steemit is going to add more users eventually or it will die so why would you not reward the person that actually brought them to the network?
The rest sounds good to me...
Referral system is easily game-able, and will just enable people to create 100,000 accounts and profit from it. The only way a ref system could work is to pay it out over time and from a share of say the curation/author rewards from the new comers posts. This will force at least some level of interaction on the new accounts.
Plus there is already a ref system to an extent in place, you get a portion of steem delegated to you upon sign up, and if the new comers like your content and are willing to support you they can click a button and show that support. Or follow you on steemian / steemvoter or something.
I don't know how it will die if new users are not added however, throwing more users at it when things are not set up just so seems like a bandaid solution to the issues of poor distributions and top heavy voting power.
I disagree. They can be divised.
I see 2 options for steem over time: it grows to critical mass and brings in real advertisers and investors or it dies...
