RE: How Long Should The Curation Window On Hive Be?

in dPoll • 3 years ago

I don't see any reason why anyone should get extra rewards because they vote first or in a shorter window. Seems pretty pointless.

    The original idea/reason for this mechanism on steem was two-fold:

    • to give bonus for curators that find out a gem, and promote a post, that others find worthy as well
    • to give an incentive for the curators to decide whom to vote a bit faster, so the author gets a feedback sooner

    These two ideas sound fine, but turned out to be too easy to exploit with automated voting pools..
    I considered them for a while few years ago, still on steem chain, but it's pretty hard to implement those two ideas and making them resilient against a similar exploitation :/

      A lot of good things are here on Hive that were created by Dan Larimer and the dev team, they also created bad things that don't make any sense. It is because they were unable to see the Game Theory in what they are doing. Which is why they ultimately quit and gave up. I think some came over from Steem to Hive from Steemit INC, but I don't even know if they are doing anything anymore.
