Thank you for everything you do for the community of Hive. I really don't know why we can not hardfork the DVs out of the posts and keep it strictly for witness voting. As it is there is no downvote function for proposals so why have that function on posts?
The witnesses silence on this is beyond alarming. It points to them either approving 100% or there is only really 10-15 witness and they have to obey the guy with the biggest stake. Anymore it feels we have been hijacked as a chain.
That's like saying Bob from accountings silence is alarming. Witnesses have nothing to do with post rewards and are not police officers. They produce blocks and maintain the security of the chain, not judge every squabble or moderate rewards.
You rock man! Thanks for your input!
Also thanks for the support you give the the team at PAL and investing in a big way that gives confidence to Hive! Sorry for edits literally just woke up and saw I had a response from you. was super stoked....
This is all important stuff that we're working out here though. It's experiences like this that help all of us brainstorm and come up with solutions which will improve social media for the future. We keep learning more and more how people can take control. That also has applies beyond blockchain. It sucks for people to lose money, but the implications of going through this stuff and learning and evolving is great for humanity's future ultimately.
Very true! There are healthy solutions to problems. Once the f you game is started there is no winners if we can not find healthy and fair solutions. The way the whitepaper was written opened the door for unfair scenarios where only one out of the three DPoS protocols calls for downvotes on community posts but not for witnesses or proposals where DPoS is supposed to really be applied. We either need to apply downvotes to Witness voting and proposals or eliminate them all together. We need Whales, we need to support them and we need a fairly written whitepaper.
