RE: Steem Town Hall - Operation Liberation
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
1 stake = 30 votes for witnesses is a part of the reason why 20 new top witnesses were elected. Only fair relation is 1 stake = 1 vote.
Do witnesses plan to keep the rule 1 stake = 30 votes, which promotes centralization, oligarchy, and is a blockchain safety vulnerability?

I like the idea of decreasing the number of votes, at least to a lower number of witnesses, if not to 1:1 that you can arrange however you'd like.
At the same time, I would love to see an increase in the # of consensus witnesses. The number 20 is arbitrary (though it is written into the whole 63-second cycle, 20+1x3sec blocks), and we definitely have far more extremely dedicated & active witnesses than that. Why not switch it up to top 32 or to 40 or 64. If that's possible somehow I would love to move that direction.
Wider distribution of the "consensus" needed, as well as a vast decrease in how much voting power each VEST has would create far more decentralization.
See my full post steem blockchain designed vulnerability.
That rule will likely stay because changing it doesn't change distribution.
The ratios remain the same.
It also lowers the bar to vote in witnesses making attacks cheaper.
Better we force exchange accounts to decline voting rights.
Stunc's accounts, too.
I have described steem blockchain designed vulnerability in the linked post.
