CarbonMan Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind the inflation voting process (https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/inflation.html) Is this to incentivize particular accounts? That is, whales can reward accounts that benefit the community or the product?
umbrel Yes, kind of. Supposed to be a fair way to reward useful services or fund services, which would otherwise charge fees to stay alive. Doesn't yet work in practice, because only 1 account passed the threshold of 50m XLM.
fiatjaf Is there a way to change these defaults or how the inflation is distributed? Where are these parameters stored? Who decides them?
umbrel fiatjaf There are no defaults, rules are a part of the protocol. To cast your vote for specific account you need to send transaction with operation SET OPTIONS Inflation destination = G.....
