We need to figure out a way to provide incentive for shareholders to vote. The biggest issue I see is with 13.06% of the money supply, someone could perform a 51% attack. This is obviously much less ideal than 51% of the money supply. There are a lot of other issues pertaining to voter apathy as well. No offense to those that have tried organizing these things, but I'm not talking about some silly "election week", campaigning, or mumble hangouts. People need incentive to vote or else they never will. We need to figure out a way that shareholders can be paid to vote. IE. a percentage of fees.. a percentage of dilution.. a little extra dilution.. a delegate... somehow, some way... people need incentive to vote. The current system is not working, the delegate with the most votes has 13.06%. How is this OK with everyone??!?

We could automagically set all the unused votes to random delegates (essentially raising the noise floor).
This is essentially what you would get anyway if you artificially motivate people to vote who don't care enough to study their options.
Now we have 100% voter "turnout".  Are we any better off?

 

I'd suggest half of unused votes to be assigned to delegates sorted by performance AND 3% max pay.

yes i'Ve looked into signaure premissions... img etc aren'T allowed anymore .. guess caused due the recent phishing attacks… but new delegate and BTS fields should work …

Well I'll stay with my current signature. I cannot update one field only.

Was anything else changed?
I'm getting the following errors when I try to update my bts name to "emski" :

I think that discriminates against low stakeholders.

Perhaps the fee should be: 10% of transaction amount, or 10 PTS, whichever is less, with a minimum of 0.1 PTS. It should be possible for miners to implement this logic without a hard fork, yes?

There should definitely be a hard maximum. You cant ask 10% from large transactions. It is insane.
What about 10% up to 10 PTS and no less than 0.1 PTS?

Thanks for the heads up.  Where is your patch?  I don't see it on github.

I commited it but I forgot to push it.
It is uploaded now.

Apparently BTER changed BTSX asset name to BTS.
I've pushed a quick patch to address that.
I'll try to make something more robust soon.

I suggest a special DAC System Account to be defined.
All registration fees (and possibly trx feex) should go there instead of being burned.
The funds from this account should be used to pay delegates. Dilution should occur only when this account goes to zero.

Thoughts?

I'd like to be able to use the forum's editor as it provides some additional buttons and formatting unavailable elsewhere.
Forum reliability is a very good thing. Is there a budget for the support ?
