RE: ALERT - Betting account run by a trusted member of Steemit found to be a scam

in #steemsports • 8 years ago

It's a pity because Steemsports seems well run but I tend to agree with you. It'll be a slippery slope.

One solution might be a self contained gambling tab with a stringent team of invigilators operating. Games could be randomly audited and receive honesty grades. Just an idea...

Yep, keeping the brains in and the stupids out is desirable but tricky to implement. I suspect there are ways but maybe that's a way off. The whales want 'bums on seats' at present.

    There's a way:

    • Don't offer sports gambling of any kind!
    • Keep the daily payout fund money set aside to post quality content
    • (uh-oh, here I go courting controversey again) Deal with the reality that steemit inc owns most steem. This is going to limit market cap long term because if steem becomes a proxy for wealth in steemit, inc...... that might be a bad thing. People might assign some limit to the value of such a company...

      It's a blockchain. What one person or organization doesn't offer doesn't affect what others can or cannot offer.

      Keep the daily payout fund money set aside to post quality content

      Quality according to whom? That's what voting is for.

        Unfortunately you're saying exactly the same thing I am saying.
