RE: [BurnSteem100]🔥🔥🔥 Netiquette for Steem automatons - posted for discussion purposes
Why should there be an expectation for setting beneficiaries to 25% null? Is it just enthusiasm for burning tokens working it's way into an unrelated thing, or is there an automaton-related reason for it?
The ghost of Alan Turing would like to know what counts as an automaton.
A couple reasons. First, it's a way to signal a desire to support the ecosystem, instead of an attempt at draining it. Second it's a way to compensate for disproportionate consumption of infrastructure like APIs and witness storage. (resource credits should govern the second, but I don't think they do it very well, and I'm assuming that won't change in the foreseeable future.)
Yeah, that's not the only "grey area". Typical for etiquette, I guess. This falls under the "I know it when I see it" rule.😉
