Why do so many think a high pos diff is such a big deal? I think its the only instrument TEK has against out of control inflation. Forget about the micro stakers. They are not the problem. Inflation is, if you look a little further down the road...
If you have been following this, its not the fact that diff is high that is the problem. If diff were responding to natural market conditions, the coin would be doing exactly as it is supposed to. The problem is that folk(s) are artificially rising difficulty, and dropping diff when they want to stake. This give them, the micro-stakers, an unfair advantage. We goal is to even the playing field, not necessarily raise the stake percentage.
I dont believe anyone who has thought it through is in favor of having the diff so low that we experience runaway inflation due to coin saturation. Nor are we interested in have a select few able to stake at high rates while the rest of us suck hind tit. The coin is awesome, we have acknowledged that there is a problem, and wish to see it addressed.
As Biomech is so fond of saying, TEK is an old coin. I agree it has been around and has stood the test of time. It is time to fix any limitations it may have and move into the next phase of its existence.
I have but I don't think along the same lines. I don't think it's artificial and I do think these are exactly natural market conditions: everyone trying to make the most of it. There's really nothing unfair about it. Just do the same if you think it's beneficiary. You would certainly help limit inflation that way and I don't think many people will complain about that.
