making me wait. nice. ok, i can dig it LOL
Create a problem, offer a solution but charge a fee.
How can I know the problem wasn't created intentionally in order to collect fees? I'm not accusing anyone of any wrongdoings. I'm pointing out the fact insurance scams exist.
Take one account, downvote people. Offer insurance with another account, upvote people. Skim profits. Keep them paranoid and paying. Business is slow? More downvotes. Brief periods of no downvotes, still collecting fees. Competitors roll in. More downvotes.
There's the worst-case scenario.
Sure, I mean I guess there is a way to incite fear in anything to scare people.
quick sell hive... the price is going down. then it's lower, big investors buy at a great price and push the price back up for their own profit.
all kinds of scams exist. it doesn't stop people from choosing their best case scenario.
right now the choice is... "you got a downvote, so what?"
that just doesn't seem like a great plan for the future 🤷
Okay.
Your post is asking for feedback.
I presented a problem. There is a solution. Figure it out.
Hi! Happy almost Monday to you!
Question: would it not be better if you see a problem and know the answer, you just offered the answer instead of making someone guess what you are thinking?
Just my 2 cents.
I can see where you are coming from. I think it is a concern. but this post was all about the community helping each other and asking for feedback and ideas or both.
HUGS!
No. When there's money and community support involved, I expect those behind the project to be able to have all the bases covered on their own. This isn't my project. If it's not up to my personal standards, I don't support it, but that doesn't stop others from supporting it. If I present a problem but it doesn't click as to how it could be a problem or is simply written off as a nonissue, I'd sooner back away from the discussion instead of arguing and trying to get my way since this is not my project and I don't want to create problems. Nobody here has to agree with me or see things my way.
I LOVE your answer!!!!!!!
Honest! It's a REALLY GREAT answer :D
Thank You for that!!!
I have the solution but I think it might be a bit too simple for you to believe...
Don't create an insurance scam 🤣
which I haven't.
The details are literally pay 1 HP and 1% beneficiary post rewards.
If people would feel more comfortable with 0.01 HP AND 0.01% beneficiary rewards...I'm good with that!
The project doesn't keep any of those funds and at the time of dissolution...it's returned to the community. Literally nothing stays with the account. So I'm not understanding where we have created a problem and are charging people through fear.
I'm not being argumentative...I sincerely don't see where we are making money from a scam?
I wasn't accusing you of any wrongdoings and made that perfectly clear.
I highlighted the fact it is a worst-case scenario stemming from one of the oldest tricks in the books.
Opening the door to this sort of thing, this way, could potentially create a problem similar to or worse than the problem intended to be solved.
Perhaps framing it as insurance is the wrong way to go about it, but this is not my project, so it is not for me to say. Coming up with suitable alternatives based on my personal preference is not my responsibility.
In its current form, I am neither for nor against it.
My criticisms of this project should not be interpreted as personal attacks.
Have a nice day.
I know you weren't accusing me.. lol nor was I taking personal offense. I am happy to hear your feedback but show me what you have a problem with and I can address it. I can't address fear.
I'm saying I'm not sure how to defend against something that isnt set up as a scam, and isnt presented in a way to make any profits.
If the word insurance is an issue... yeah, I am totally fine with taking it out if that makes it feel more attractive, but the principle still remains the same.
An account set up that the community supports in order to help defray the negative impact of whale wars on accounts that have nothing to do with the war.
As far as the fear of scam, I don't know how to change something in the proposal in order to make people feel more at ease.
I feel like if people are afraid, they should definitely not support it. I wouldn't know how to reassure people that it's exactly what it says it is, without trying to make it seem like I'm actually trying to scam them lol
That was my point to your comment. and no I won't have a good day . .I'll have a good night... 😝
