RE: My unsolicited thoughts on the Hive powerdown period

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

When Steem started the power down was 2 years! 1% per week is not much. I think 13 weeks is not too bad and I could accept some penalty if you want to do it quicker. The danger of allowing immediate withdrawal is when accounts get hacked. Having a week to get it back may save some funds.

I think we need people to be seriously invested in this platform for it to work. If it's about quick profits then it could have negative effects.

Steemit changed theirs to 4 weeks as exchanges has to power up to support them gaining control. I don't think they really care about what is sustainable. It's all about milking the system.

I agree, two years would be nuts if you were looking to get out of your stake. That is a great point about your account being hacked. I really like the penalty idea (not just because it is mine). It just makes a lot of sense to me. As I mentioned, Leo is a four week power down and it hasn't adversely impacted them yet. I think it can be done without massive disruption if implemented properly.

What we don't want is people selling every time the price spikes. There are incentives to stay powered up and there has to be a balance.

I think people are starting to learn that as they spend time on here. They need to want to be on here first and the 13 week power down could be a hinderance to that. Maybe I am wrong.

If they decide not to stick around they can wait for the power down. I doubt many would put lots of money in straight away.
