What is up, Niigata Steem-Os?
Last night 3 of our members--
For the sake of those members not able to be present, I wanted to review a few of the topics discussed, request feedback, and get a general feel for what members of the group are thinking. Finally, I will attach this week's liquid payout summary to the end of this post.
Meeting topics:
- Filing crypto taxes in Japan
- Recent black and white photo challenge participation and possible new contests we could hold ourselves or join.
- Potential Steemit initiatives for helping a local Niigatan friend who was recently robbed.
- New members / potential recruits.
- Proposed adjustments to the SP surplus payout system.
- Local barter/trade markets.
Feedback request: Is it okay with everyone if we adjust the SP (previously monthly) surplus payout to follow the Steemit built-in 13-week power down cycle?
Following this cycle will make computation and distribution of the surplus Steem Power this account accrues much easier and more efficient. The reason being, power downs take time, and if we wish to power down the exact amount of the surplus (and not the whole of the account's SP to expedite the process, which would result in an inexact amount being powered down, and the necessity of returning excess to the SP reserve manually--read: greater potential for human error to be a factor) the time required is 13 weeks, and not 4 weeks (one month).
What we need to decide if we go this route, is when to allow a new member to begin partaking of the surplus. In other words, what is the cutoff point? For example, if a new user joins 4 weeks into the 13-week cycle, do they still get to partake of that cycle's SP surplus distribution according to their stake like all the other members? Let's discuss where the cutoff should be in the comments or via our private chat group.
Any other questions, comments, concerns, etc, about any of the other aforementioned meeting topics is of course welcome and encouraged!
