RE: Instant liquidity for a fee?

in #steem6 years ago

I like the lock-in period. To me the most palpable benefit is it functions to secure those funds if your account gets hacked. A lot of people who have had their accounts hacked were able to recover their accounts and only lost the liquid portion of their Steem holdings.

Sort:  

I think Savings fulfills anti-hacking purpose. I also think 3 months long lock-in is unattractive for some investors. If it was shorter like 3 weeks, I can see some crypto hodlers switching to steem and as consequence become long term Steemians.

Savings doesn't fulfill anti-hacking, IMO. How many people do you know use Savings feature?

very good point... i was not taking into account the safety aspect of it... I will try to think of a way this could happen.

While we're hardforking, we could require multisig.
Choose two other accounts as signatories who need to approve a request to transfer vests.
Love the idea, but without any additional safety mechanism I don't think it's worth it.

I was kind of landing into that conclusion... make it to where these types of transactions have to be multi sig by possibly witnesses, maybe at a min rank or something.

But, the more I think about the idea, the more I like it...

Thanks for stopping by Matt

@mattclarke just chimed in... maybe multisig is the only way it could be safe enough... it complicates things, but it would technically solve it.
