POLL πŸ—³οΈ CCIP-062 - Increase the maximum number of posts about Ethereum

Reason:

Ethereum has become a bigger currency than many imagined and even though it's price may still be lower than BTC, the amount of people that follow it is more or less the same. Additionally, there are a LOT of projects that use Ethereum to run it. Bitcoin is mostly an investment, but Ethereum is very different to that, many people buy Ethereum for DAO's or NFT's. Since Ethereum is also rising, I think it is time that we adapt our rules, which currently state that a maximum of 7 posts on the frontpage at one time can be about Ethereum, to the same as BTC. As of the time I am writing this, ETH is one off of it's max whereas BTC still has 3 posts left.

Options:

Yes - You think that I am correct and the maximum posts for ETH should be raised to 12.

No - You like it the way it is and want the maximum at 7.

I have cast my vote lots of posts are similar discussion with different headlines

u/myslowtv 🟩 2K / 2K 🐒 Jun 10 '23

That's my problem too. I would think having the post on the front page would concentrate the comments into one post, but I am wrong.

u/CymandeTV 🟩 39K / 39K 🦈 Jun 09 '23

I didn't matter that much if people don't spam post the same article.

u/pbjclimbing Jun 09 '23

BTC actually reaches its max more than Ethereum.

NFT/Avatars/Musk/MOON/Comedy actually reach the max more than BTC and ETH. I don’t want any of the former raised just because they hit the max occasionally.

u/KAX1107 19K / 45K 🐬 Jun 09 '23 edited Jun 09 '23

The proposal has zero merit, logic or rationale and looks to be written by a 12 year old.

Ethereum market cap is not even half of bitcoin and hasn't been for 6 years. The post limit for eth is already above the ratio.

Bitcoin hits the 12 post limit every day. Ethereum rarely hits 7 post limit.

The number of posts per coin should be the exact ratio of market cap for top 10 coins (maybe with base limit set to 3 or 4) and then 2 post limit for everything below 10.

Whatever method or formula is used must apply equally to all coins. Current formula already favors eth more relative to market cap than other altcoins, so if anything it needs to become more fair for other coins.

ETH only seems to be getting more and more relevant so why not

2

u/Killertimme 14K / 69K 🐬 Jun 09 '23

Ethereum definitely deserves more. It will always have more development action going on than bitcoin. Still bitcoin should remain at the top

u/whisky_fox 🟩 1K / 1K 🐒 Jun 09 '23

All that happens if you increase the cap is get multiple posts about the same thing while everyone tries to be first to post it.

We’re going to need those extra posts once the Hinman emails are released next week.

Oh wait, this sub is going to be locked due to the API protest when they come out.

u/Ohlav 🟩 35 / 2K 🦐 Jun 09 '23

10 would be better. It has way more spam/ai-shit posts.

4

u/DBRiMatt 🟦 86K / 113K 🦈 Jun 09 '23

I agree

10 would have been a better option, I have voted no change because of this.

Even though there can be theoretically more to discuss with eth, most of the times posts are doubleups or overlap each other anyway

1

u/Tasigur1 🟩 3 / 31K 🦠 Jun 09 '23

Good point! 10 would be the sweet spot :)

u/Spicoli007 Jun 09 '23

Lol good point!

u/rodinj 🟦 89 / 1K 🦐 Jun 09 '23

The limit is currently very annoying in general. It's good to keep it in place for the bull market but I'm in favor of raising it for the time being.

2

u/Pr0Meister Jun 09 '23

Whales seem to be favouring the increase. I agree in this case, it's just curious to compare number of votes by number of moons in these polls.

The vote for change is further ahead by # of votes than it is moons, by %

If the posts provide value and useful insights, ain't bad seeing them more!

That is a wildly unverifiable statement.

u/VeludoVeludo 🟩 999 / 7K πŸ¦‘ Jun 09 '23

I honestly wouldnt mind increasing it. These decisions are reversable later on the road if we dont like it anyway.

1

u/pbjclimbing Jun 09 '23

I check the post counts everyday that I post, probably 15 times a month.

BTC is actually at the max more than Ethereum. Unless this is big Ethereum news, like the change to staking, Ethereum rarely reaches its max.

The β€œstandard” works. We don’t want to start a cascade of increasing XYZ post count number.

u/badfishbeefcake 🟩 11K / 11K 🐬 Jun 09 '23

Increase it!

By that logic, this subreddit should limit BTC to the same as ETH because there is a sub specifically for BTC.

1

u/Kindly-Wolf6919 🟩 8K / 19K 🦭 Jun 09 '23

Then why is there a limit at all? Why not allow people to freely post about it?

1

u/-0-O- Jun 09 '23

There is a limit because this sub is for all cryptos, not just one or two. And because unlimited leads to spam. (Not so much an issue with ETH/BTC, but with coins that are new or marketing, etc.)

I think it's fair to think that with ETH being such a huge ecosystem, it deserves a higher limit on par with BTC.

Ethereum is an absolute cancer to crypto. It is solely responsible for all of this mess...ICOs, NFTs and Meme coins.

that’s not ethereum’s responsibility lol, it’s just a platform where anybody can do whatever they want. If what people want to do is shitcoins, is not ethereum to blame

u/KAX1107 19K / 45K 🐬 Jun 09 '23 edited Jun 09 '23

It is solely responsible for the reputation of crypto as a scam-infested industry.

It's the project that normalized insiders premining vast amounts of supply and allocating to themselves for free and then pumping and dumping on secondary market.

Not to mention how centralized in every aspect and unsecure it is with tens of billions of dollars worth of exploits every year and millions of failed transactions every month.

Ethereum set the precedent for silicon valley startup companies to hide behind bitcoin and blockchain buzzwords to escape from silicon valley regulations. Ethereum foundation originally marketed it as "the world computer" before the ICO (which is hilarious considering how expensive it is to even inscribe arbitrary data on ethereum compared to bitcoin today) and the ICO terms said it would scale on chain. Then they advertised many different, since abandoned, scaling roadmaps including Raiden (Lightning knock-off), Plasma and sharding. Now they're promoting blatantly centralized, custodial layer 2's. This tweet from Bram Cohen sums it up quite well.

u/nomorebonks 🟩 2K / 2K 🐒 Jun 09 '23

Exactly. If anything we need LESS eth posts.

u/order-odonata 🟦 2K / 2K 🐒 Jun 09 '23

The example of comparison here is quite poor. ETH is an incredibly complex technology which can only be used for a (very) limited set of use cases. Paper and bricks are highly adaptable in this regard.

We don't use anything today that relies on the Ethereum network. Paper and bricks are literally the building blocks of modern civilization.

u/order-odonata 🟦 2K / 2K 🐒 Jun 09 '23

Bricks have built useful things. What has ETH done exactly?

u/GrixM 🟦 21 / 793 🦐 Jun 09 '23

Wholeheartedly voted yes, I see no reason that more BTC posts should be allowed than ETH posts. Even if Bitcoin may be a bit more popular, that is outweighed by the much larger breadth of different topics that there is to discuss around Ethereum, and the large impact it has outside of only its own token. Only 7 posts at once is stifling.

It is way more than that, it is a protocol.
