RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal
In your example, what happens if there is a fourth upvoter with a max value of $60?

RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal
Value is subjective when it comes to social media. (But I do agree that non-original works are deeply problematic though and should get a $0 pay-out. )

RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal
It still increases the effort required at very little cost to other users: an easy fix that should at least remove the low-level vote spamming. People are always going to try and vote-spam: low effort=high

RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal
But I think you confuse value with effort. Maybe it takes me an hour to write a post and you it takes only 10 minutes. That's not a sign that my post is inherently more valuable than yours. And just because

RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure that capping the rewards is something that should be left to the voters (if you think flag wars are bad...). I still believe that the easiest solution is to limit

My apologies!! I honestly thought I followed you before I typed my response. Thanks for catching that. Now I will go back and check that everyone I intended to follow is, in fact, being followed.

RE: Refilling the Rewards Pool when Cheaters are in the Mist
That's why I really liked @bryan-imhoff's post below. Putting aside whether self-voting should occur, does everyone agree that ONLY self-voting goes against the spirit of Steemit? And can that automated

RE: The benefits of inaction: a defense of a high SBD.
Not exactly true. A minimum-peg guarantees the lowest price, but lets the currency go up as high as it wishes (a minimum peg from one perspective is a maximum peg from another. For the purposes of this

In January I'm hoping to start doing bi-weekly posts explaining the academic literature that's been published around cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets. Since I'm interested in the international market

RE: Refilling the Rewards Pool when Cheaters are in the Mist
Jeez, that's not OK. I feel torn about self-voting (my posts take several hours to write and I want to guarentee some return), but I also maintain activity on steemit. Is anyone using the self-vote information

Except, based on the post above, the flaggers above are going after self-voting. They wouldn't see, or at least aren't currently paying attention to, the secondary account voting issue. Blocking self-voting

Some are! I definitely don't want to leave you with the impression that all economists are the same as I am. Economics is a wonderfully strange field so it's always tricky to infer that you've met a

RE: Refilling the Rewards Pool when Cheaters are in the Mist
Does anyone know why we are allowed to vote on our own posts? (From a coding perspective it doesn't seem that this would be too difficult to stop if it's something the community agrees should not be done)

I spend most of my time reading academic papers --- in the weeds with math and data analytics --- and not much time for books. I'm also one of those people who finds sitting around and debating an esoteric

I'm not sure this works, but it's a really interesting idea that should be explored further. If the price move is purely speculative, it would have no impact. And people converting SBD to SP to post occurs

RE: Addressing the Steem Dollar Situation
The peg is a minimum price peg maintained by interest rates, not a hard peg of $1. So the bottom is supposed to be constrained, but there is no way built in to control upswings.

I had never even heard of this book: seems fascinating! I don't know if the petro reflects the idea of technological control over a society: though this could certainly end up in the same space. That's

RE: Why not peg SBD at $10?
That is the correct sentiment. However, SBD is a peg that has already been introduced, and therefore it demands controls to obtain the desired effect. There are very few ways to maintain a peg. Now, the
