RE: Curation reward issue - New tools for our users - Donating our curation rewards

in About PeakD3 years ago

We will likely power up some of our FUNDING money.

I'd think that the larger crabs here would do the bucket a favor by not powering up stake so that they can maximize rewards during this bonanza for the little crabs, but I guess that is too much to ask of some folks.
You know, leave some crumbs for the less fortunate.

It's not you guys, in particular, but you talk to many people that need to hear this message.

Sucking up as much as you can, because you can, is web 2.0 thinking, iyam.

It does nothing to improve the reputation of the entire platform like acting altruistically for less than a week could.

Sort:  

Well we are donating all the proceeds so we we just wish we could have powered up more.

Taking from the weak to give to the strong seems to be the way of things around here.
Is it any wonder that most that have tried the game have rejected it as unsustainable?

While the one that won't be named was around I understood scavenging the pool to block his take over, but what is the excuse now?
Those same people are now doing to us what he was doing, but their legitimacy as
'defenders of the pool' is now gone.
No longer do they defend the pool from an abuser, they abuse it for themselves, and those that brown nose them well enough.

It isn't just me that thinks this, look at all the inactive accounts that found this game not worth their bother.
Do you think they are helping our rep in the market place?

I hope you reexamine your stance backing the haves over the havenots.

The game is a small small part in our minds. If the hive reward pool all went away it wouldn't change the goals and focus of peakd... but it is one of the games so we try to also support it. Hopefully people start to realize it's just a small part of hive

It's true, the pool is small potatoes.
Defi will take us away.

Ya'll are doing great with all the changes pushed through.
No fears of losing me back to hive.blog.

Yep, if only we could find out how much the top 50 pull out each day, that would be a bonus.
I've tried to get these reports repeated but I guess pulling vote data from the chain is resource intensive.

This experiment wasn't designed with success in mind.
Soon™ the shine will be off the toy and we will have to float without bourgeois disposable income as a means of support.
The people that launched this will take their leave.
It is inevitable.

That won't be the end of the hive, just the easy price support.

Don't kid yourself, just because they have gone silent doesn't mean they don't still control enough coins to tank the project, if they wanted to do that.

Ned said he was hiding his stake when they threatened to fork is ass out, I refuse to believe that somebody that sets themselves up with 80% of the coins lets enough go to not still have control over what is happening, if only silently.
Somebody owns the 1/3rd of the hive on exchanges.

There are still people here from the launch, just most of the stincy ones are gone.
Not all, yet.

The current frontends are so basic and static..

You are using peakd.com?

It's funny how this thing is essentially imitating real world societies.

Yes, it was designed to expose that, and help fix it.

I mean, what would have been if ned and his ilk hadn't kneecapped us?
We were the number 3 coin.

We are just now getting to where we don't have to look over our shoulder, or bite our tongues.
Our accounts are not on the line like they once were for having a dissenting opinion.

Not that it might be so clearly visible to you.
