RE: Steemit Roadmap 2018 - @timcliff's Top Picks and Recommendations
What is the exact meaning of "Balance bandwidth between positive new user onboarding, and system limitations. Possibly introduce fixed limits on operations based on SP. (Accounts with 0 SP may only get 1 per day or per week.) SMT creators will need clear info on how much SP must be vested in order to provide the necessary bandwidth to their communities."
?
Basically the blockchain needs to distribute bandwidth intelligently. If the it doesn't give new users enough bandwidth to participate, users are going to get frustrated with the platform because they keep running into errors. At the same time, if you give a new user too much bandwidth, someone could create a whole bunch of new accounts for relatively cheaply and do a DOS attack on the blockchain by overloading it with spam.
