Suggestion of Merit system to be used on Graphene Blockchain, in this instance BLURT
So, with Analytic Tools, just a thought.
If there could somehow be built in features in any backend Analytics Tool that measure things like who is giving the most upvotes to the lowest historical BP rewards record accounts; or whose votes have gone to accounts that have then gone on to curate to the lowest rewarded accounts (kind of like who sired the most beneficial curators). This way there could be like a lean towards finding those with the least historical BP rewards by all high BP accounts, because they would appear on the chart.
Kind of like Karma and the Law of Dharma. Alms.
There was a description of Karma that may help describe the concept. So if I curate simply seeking people who will return upvotes, I benefit a small group of active curators and I likely seek out high BP users, this is a Low Karma/Quick Returns model.
If I simply seek out the Poorest and give them the most, I am now in about a 50/50 Karma/Returns Model, with a hit taken to returns.
But if I curate those, who in turn themselves become active Curators holding and leveraging BP, this is more like 100/100 instead of 50/50. Not only am I giving Poor people money, I am building a Charitable community of Curators.
And an example of how this helps.
1. In the obvious way, the more I seek out low BP users the higher I am ranked on the page for that
2. If I am a Whale, and I want to rank up in model 2. Maybe I just bought my BP, or was part of the airdrop and am coming in late, or whatever the reason is they are a low ranked whale.
That whale can seek out users whom are at a similar or higher rank to themselves, and support them, which then in turn raises their rank.
So it still allows for people to seek out active Curators who may return a vote, but they also then are supporting people based not on BP levels but their community activism.
This new Whale is now lead to vote for effective community organizers, in order to raise his rank to match his Whale Peers in the siring charts.
This could also be built into some kind of general Ranking System.
Like how Reddit has Karma, but that it a different concept similar to BLURT or STEEM with no trade value. But like how Bitcointalk or many other forums have like "New Member", "Senior Member", "Moderator", like this Discord Chat and the Facebook group too, BLURT could have like a non-Static Rank.
The Dharma, Model 50/50 and Model 100/100 would also support not powering Down. Because if I have low BP and I am new, and I start getting votes when there are 500,000 users and Curation gets difficult.
This new low BP user is encouraged to participate in the ranking system, regardless of how low their rank is because they want to get the good votes. If he Powers Down he isn't being Sired, and is kind of lowering his stock. A Fresh users who saved as much as he can raises his stock.
This could possibly even be part of a system where the Poorest users (in terms of rewards) over time are measured. So that if I cash out all my BP right away I lose my stock, but if I get no good votes over 1 year, maybe now I am back higher up in the ranking.
And BLURT Bots would be built measuring those Charts.
And the "stock" would be natural if everything else was measured.
1. So, by being new I have a setting, because time being measured would be good also. The longer I am on, the higher my score goes, the more BP rewards I get the lower it goes on the Poor Rank Chart.
2. But with higher BP rewards, turned around to vote on the Poor Charts, raises me in the Siring Charts.
3. The higher BP I get, with higher subusers in turn trying to hold BP to vote on the Poor Charts, and the whole Poor Chart knows they can curate to get up in the Siring Charts, so everyone's "Stock" is built in.
The Siring Charts could include maybe a tab setting or dropdown option to see:
Highest BP Sired ever, to most Low BP Users, to most BLURT Users Generally, to BP that never Powered Down, most New Users, most Forgotten Users.
And people would use these, try to be on these, and create Bots that read these for them.
Then like
(# of votes × user BP, continued, meaning, to whatever layer, this should start with a # of users × user BP gained by those users, then this should repeatedly look back to that same calculation like a pyramid chart where # of users voted for × BP gained by those users) then your rank in that chart × X
The Pyramid chart first means whoever's underlings hold the most and use it, raises that person up.
So (# of users voted × BP gained, continued) × New Users Voted
Or
(# of users voted × BP gained) × ((time on platform for vote receivers × last post newer higher weighted) / rewards ever)
So new users Sired rank, and most needy sired rank.
This also creates rarity and numismatic value. The Model of "Merit, as we see it" is basically just a little club, and certain people earn the most.
"I'm a Whale, jump through my hoops and then you can get a fair shot. In fact, I am giving you a fair shot by letting you jump through my hoops... unless I don't like you"
That is Merit on a Subjective basis like this with no Constitutional Directive of Meritous Rights. It is a Club.
If populace based Poorness and Charity are commodities, then suddenly there are more BLURT holders and not just a Club.
With the Expanse of BLURT further than that of STEEM, it promotes the scarcity model. Each person individually values their's more because they have a different share of the Pool.
