add warning when representative with too much voting power is used #181

Open ThunderFD opened 6 years ago

ThunderFD commented 6 years ago

if an address in the wallet has a rep with more than X% voting power, a warning should pop up on the main screen above the accounts, advising the user to change their rep for "account_name"

maybe with a "tap here" link/button that leads the user to a page with more instructions.

This leads to the discussion "average users who don't care, aren't interested in and will do nothing but are scared now" vs "informed and interested" people. It could be shown like the "rate Canoe" window, once every 5 days.

yeah, it's definitely up to debate how exactly this should look like, but I think the underlying idea is great to push decentralization.

Well for starters we can do it in a less intimidating color. Have a friendly treatment of it, and explain what is value of having reps more spread up.

I'd do a message that doesn't scare people at all (techy or not) but that is bugging until you do it. After all, everything will end up to be free for all (Nano network, Canoe) and at the end of the day, it will be the only 'work' asked to people; for their own safety. I think any Nano user will have to get that concept eventually. I would have never believed that my granma would ever use internet back in the 90s. Do you see my point ?

Not sure about that... 95% of windows user never changed the default wallpaper, fear to make damage...

ceddup commented 6 years ago

Actually I agree with you no damage shall be done. This warning could start to show from times to times after some while. The point is, if people were told that their windows box (and all of windows boxes) could get hacked if they don't change the default wallpaper, they sure would do it. In a world where windows would be free as in beer...

There is this thing popping in every X days, asking for rating, so we have it.

ceddup commented 6 years ago

I never saw that thing ;-)

stefonarch commented 6 years ago

Me twice until now, it allows to select 1-5 stars and send comments etc. , it's in POEdit too.

ThunderFD commented 6 years ago

haven't seen that so far either.. imo the rep thing should pop up right when it notices the issue. the user could X it away and then it could show up after 2 weeks or a month again or so. or the user could just leave it there to look at it later.
