RE: The EIP and how curation will matter again - a.k.a false hopes
This is why I would love to have randomized curation rewards. No "5 minute rule" or anything like that, and, totally random curation rewards, regardless of the author rewards and regardless of the time you vote.
That would certainly change curation forever.
It's an interesting idea, but I think it would add a tremendous complexity to the code. But even if it is implemented, it wouldn't matter because of the voting trails, especially if backed by huge stakes.
Also, the reason why it was reduced to 5min, is to avoid having to wait 15min to vote (for organic voters at least). Of course with bots, that doesn't matter neither. Curiously lots of users are still on the old 15min timezone :)
I like this idea. Could we add a randomizer? Someone makes a post, it is stamped with a random time between 5-20 minutes. Have the number appear somewhere on the post only a human could read. That would rek autovoters.
I like the voting thing on Tribes. Like Palnet for example. Regardless if you vote on the first second or 2 days later, your rewards are exactly half of the vote you cast. Period. No front running no nothing.
but then there's also no benefit at all anymore in finding and pushing good content to the top?!
Good content will always find its way to the top. But is it really necessary to also race one another for better curation rewards? Because that’s what is happening...always have been...
I wasn't arguing for the timed window, I am totally against the short "competition-window" of 5 minutes.
I was arguing against:
because curation rewards should always be on a curve, in that sense that those who voted first will get more of the curation share for their created rshares than the vote that came later.
Technically that would basically be impossible.
Autovoters could probably scrape the value from the ui.
The 5 minute rule does appear to get in the way of 'natural curation'.
What would happen if curation rewards were just divided up by vote weight at the end of the 7 day rewards period?
To me that would seem to be a strong encouragement to just look out for good posts to vote on at any time...
The curve still heavily favors vote stacking on the highly rewarded. With an even distribution even more, because you don't lose out by adding to the end of the stack, but the curve makes the values of every following vote go higher and higher.
Thanks for the clarification on that.
Rules without rules. Sounds great! /sarc
