Also I do not like the type of design decisions Dan makes. For example, the decision to use a quadratic weighting in Steem was done purposefully to cause users to do more work than they would be compensated for. This was a conscious decision to cheat the users. That sort of ethics does not belong in s/w from my perspective. I want to do something to help the users. He is thinking the ends justify the means, but even his expected ends appears to me to be a miscalculation.
