So earlier today @steemitblog has released a new hardfork proposal with a lot of fixes and features, and I will share my thoughts on them here. Here is the full article: * http://ift.tt/2iBVwxT ------------------------------
> Removing Over Posting Reward Penalties I don't think this is such a good idea. This will introduce a lot of spammers, and people will be incentivized to push out low quality content. Furthermore it increase the inflation further, which is already a huge drag on the STEEM price. > Single Payout Period (7 days) A good idea, however then the Promotion Tab should also be promoting the article for 7 days, otherways it's out of synch. I agree that a lot of good content doesn't get picked up. I can say that from experience. So giving more time for people to parse and read, is good. But the Promotion side should be extended as well. > Comment Payout independent of Discussion No comment here. But the comment section is also pretty slow after a lot of comments come in. You might want to fix the freezing/slowing down of that. > Removing the Comment Nesting Limit Yes this is a very old problem that needs to be fixed. > Allow Editing of any Past Post or Comment This is utterly wrong. What is the point of a blockchain if past posts can be edited? The posts should be left there as they are, otherwise centralization is introduced, and a malicious entity hacking everyone, could vandalize everyone's posts. Potentially deleting every single post from the blockchain, if they can attack the network. This introduces a lot of problems. > Removing Proof of Work Agreed, Steemit is more social, and has an active community, so the POS system is much more fitting here. The wealth is pretty evenly distributed across the whales, so a 51% attack is unlikely. > Multiple Arbitrary Beneficiaries to Reward Payouts Does this mean a referral system is now introduced? This sounds very interesting. -------------------------------- So I think this hardfork will be overall a positive benefit to Steemit, however I have a problem with the editable posts thing. Also I think that hardforks should be less packed, so that people can individually vote on things. If you pack 99 things that people like and 1 thing that they don't, the thing will pass, however if that 1 thing creates huge problems, like this editable thing here, then it can be problematic. ------------------------------------------- Image Source: @dunja at http://ift.tt/2hrWEmL ---------------------------
