I believe Steemit is a great place to be because of its great community of content and software creators. This community sometimes even handles issues that Steemit's core development team should be dealing with. @steem-ua is the most recent example of this, a solution to fix Steemit reputation score.
@steem-ua have created a solution for one of the biggest problems of the Steemit community. The reputation algorithm had been broken because of the usage of paid bots to buy votes on users posts. While creating and advertisement service such as the bidbots does not harm the platform directly, it does hinder the right we have to rank users account in a reputation system based on the quality of the content that users post. @steem-ua reputation algorithm is based on user's active follower base, on the engagement rate and overall influence of each user, and the quality of the content each user creates.
Also, @steem-ua created a new trail for upvoting users accordingly to their UA score. You can delegate to @steem-ua to receive an upvote which be bigger the higher your UA score. The amount of SP delegated will determine the frequency of the upvotes.
| 25 SP 1 upvote/week |
50 SP 2 upvote/week |
100 SP 4 upvote/week |
250 SP 7 upvote/week |
The curation formula is designed to benefit all great content creators and community leaders on Steemit regardless of the amount of SP they have.
UA_Vote = x * UA_Account + y * UA_Post + z * UA_Comment
This means that the upvote weight will be bigger depend on:
- the higher account's UA score
- the better the votes on a post, computed by all post voters' UA scores
- the more interaction & user engagement on that post via the comments
@steem-ua mission is aligning the individual interest of each steemian with the well being of the Steemit platform itself. If this initiative is a success, each account that delegate 250 SP could get an upvote from @steem-ua more valuable than self-voting 10 times a day. This will boost the Steemit user retention and will certainly increase the demand for Steem.
Are we okay with bringing a WSL- UA to Whaleshares?
