@afrog there is an attack vector there to that proposal, so a rewards farmer could keep creating new accounts and delegating his stake to them and then voting the same content, it would reduce the need to post fresh content and the chain would stagnate with old content. It would also endanger the namespace, causing all the good names to be taken up, so new users won't have a great name selection. We would have to make new accounts really expensive to create, like really expensive. tagged @double-u and @michelangelo3

Day 12 on Blurt!
Hi @megadrive,
Oh yes, this is really an important reason not to allow the possibility for voting for a long time.
Thanks for this logical argument!
Thank you for the argument and I have thought about it, dear @megadrive. You speak in Attac categories and I think the whole thing from the blogger's side. The only possible interpretation of your argument is that the only cause of my problem is reward farmers. Because they have existed since the beginning of the Steem, the blogger's gold will be devalued after seven days. Sorry, but that sounds like surrendering to the cause.
There is no surrender here, just that this idea could really lead to mass farming, worse than we ever seen and even less posts because people will just shuffle their stake and vote their old posts.
There needs to be a bit more thought put into it, to still allow it but not let it be gamed, one way would be to remove the delegation feature, but then that harms curation initiatives.
I thought about farmers since four years and a lot. It seems this is the keyproblem of DPOS. Because the acting of farmers is near by the acting of bloggers. There is no algorithm to catch them and all other trials, like statistics, downvotes or blacklists maintained by curators are poison for communities. There is no perfect medicine but one day one brain will have the genious solution. Provided we don't stop discussing the subject.
Ich hoffe, ich komme bald mal mit Muse zum Schreiben.
Ich finde nämlich, dass ich schon längere Zeit ein Gesamtkonzept habe.
Das aufzuschreiben, erfordert aber etwas Arbeit; gerade wenn es auch noch im Englischen zu verstehen sein soll.
Ich habe mit meiner privaten Arbeit, die sich jährlich immer wiederholt, noch nicht mal angefangen. Morgen aber ...
Das wäre schön deine Gedanken zum Thema endlich zu lesen. Angekündigt hast du es lange genug. Zur Erheiterung: jetzt muss ich dringrnd die Steuer machen. Sie haben uns auf dem Schirm und Elke ist nicht mehr amused.
Naja, bei mir ist es 2018. Bei euch wahrscheinlich 2019.
2018 – Donnerwetter. Das war entweder teuer oder das Hanauer Finanzamt ist tatsächlich bei allen Steuersäumigen so gutmütig, wie ich es jedes Jahr erleben darf. Hast du etwa auch das Gefühl, dass die hier besser sind als ihr Ruf?
