I'm happy to adjust my statement (again) and go back to supporting your witness if this is addressed.
I don't know your two partners at all, but I've always appreciated your content, comments, and presence on the chain.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Rishi goes on a self-righteous rampage once and a while.
Kid needs to chill out.
Luckily most devs (including my devs) are quite poor and I mostly get to run the show.
Can we buyout rishis interest in this witness? (to remove the bad actor)
Technically likely but logistically no.
If that makes sense.
Rishi does most of the work :D
Or at least did quite a bit.
Don't worry about it though I have big plans.
I don't think @hextech's 14k stake is too big of a problem at this point.
A vote from me is what? x10 that?
Perhaps I could work more on my database to track these things.
I have always enjoyed you debates and blogs so please do let me know, i will buy out toxic actors because im not a poor piece of shit that needs money from hive.
If you buy them out... what's to stop them from buying back in to resume their actions on the blockchain?
I think the intent is good... But we need to rethink the fundamentals of the blockchain so as to strip away individual centric egos/subjective opinions/outright abuse (even)/ etc. with the use of the DV.
This is and always should have been something maintained by the collective DPOS community. Outsourcing Hive integrity to the individual is a sure recipe for disaster.
DPOS has it's holes... but we can still innovate new and better solutions for controlling abuse (like spam, plagiarism, hate, threats, violence, child pornography, etc.) and doing so in a way that doesn't trade one abuse for another.
What we are (potentially) dealing with would be considered MASIVE things for any individual to deal with.
Flagging individually makes sense... but in order to deal with (and send a clear message to those content instigators) we really do need to innovate away from the RAW DOWNVOTE and towards a process/multi-step Flag AND Downvote.
In it's current state it's undeveloped, inadequate, and the cause of a lot of harmful social interaction that might not have been played out had we seen things for what they really are.
This is an opportunity for positive action...
I think so anyways...
We have to take the attention away from "This individual did that!" or "That individual did this!" and fix social at the code level.
Steering the blockchain towards more positive social outcomes will bring us all UPwards... all of this infighting will not.
We all need to continue innovating new and better ways to human... THAT is the opportunity and blockchain and the social surrounding it is the means.
We are empowered for positive change but only if we truly want it.
Why not decentralized the top 20 and make it like any other blockchain where anyone can mine transactions for profit?
It's not really important to pay the witnesses imo, and their services could easily be automated with the right care put into a cloud back end. A cloud could verify all tx too if we went to pure PoS.
Having these elected members seems just stupid to me, as if they didn't learn from the fallacies of the failed democracies of times past.
You bringUP some very interesting points I must say. In many ways Hive is a digital reflection of our current societal norms. Democracy by representation really does have so many flaws inherent in its constructs and ideologies.
It’s intriguing that you have mentioned individualization of the witness function here on Hive. Recently I have found out that the BLURT Blockchain can run one of its nodes on a Raspberry Pi! Imagine if there was a user friendly easy to setUP way for everyone to host the protocol? This would fundamentally shift Hive’s entire framework and it would hold the current Witness’s accountable.
EVERYONE WOULD THEN BE AN ACTIVE VOTER & STAKEHOLDER.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about how we could collectively innovate and improve our social here on this blockchain.
I think it’s valuable to be able to share openly like this… open (without fear of a subjective DV) discussion is how all humans effectively collaborate and innovate new and better ways to human!
Who wouldn’t want that right?
Here’s the thing. If someone doesn’t want that then we all need to begin asking better questions… questions like…
Why is that?
