I think the site needs improvement. Investors might help with that. But instead of doing it the way we do it now, whoever shouts loudest on the forum or in the chat, why not let them actually vote on an issue. Weighted by their investement (and time), like I said.

dooglus what do you think about this idea?

Easily gamed: nakowa shows up, deposits 11,000 BTC, obtains > 25% of the vote, votes, and then withdraws.

with this answer the question should be off the table I guess. chapeau for the answer

Or maybe not. It's not as if I never thought of that possibility. My suggestion was:

vote weight, per account := sum: amount invested * time invested

Which means nakowa or anyone else still can show up, invest for 5 minutes, vote and then divest, but his vote weight would be the same as someone who had a much smaller amount invested, but since the beginning of j-d. The biggest vote weight would go to those investors who had large sums invested, since the beginning, the way it should be, IMO.

This would be a much more practical and fair way to set the max profit percentage. Let every user choose between .25% an 1%. Then at any given time the max profit percent = the average weighted by the time-value of the votes.
Time vote value= Principal Investment Amount x days invested (gets reset to 0 with divestment).
Fixes to issues at once, fixes how max profit decided in a fair and simple way & gives a strong disincentive to rapid investing/divesting to day trade whales.
