Final few points about PtP

It was pointed out ages ago that farmers don’t.

Well ages ago @dirvine said

So create a song etc. upload and each chunk is linked to an id (wallet address) you own. On every farming success 10% of the amount goes to that address. So folk will say hey that reduces farmers ‘take’, but it does not as the network balances the rate to compensate farmers anyway.

Since then most proponents of rewarding uploaders have argued that the cut of farmers won´t be lower even if content farmer are rewarded from the same pool of (re)cycling Safecoin. That´s what I was referring

But then also many do not factor in recycling. [/quote]

I do, and I don´t see how that changes the whole point.

The farmers get the same no matter if the incentives are given out or not. And as the coin gets more scarce then the scarcity causes its own boost to the $$ value, so the farmers still get the same value. (Obviously its not exactly the same as markets have plenty of variability, but this occurs either way).

Exactly, it´s not “exactly” the same. Actually it is really unpredictable if supply scarcity will boost value. In a system where supply is very unevenly distributed scarcity can also be the result of hoarding and manipulating the market. There may be a time where this doesn´t matter anymore but it´s not going to happen within the next 10 years+, see Bitcoin as a good example and basically all other CCs for even better ones.
