Steem: Comment Reward Beneficiaries

[mvandeberg]

As a comment option, authors should be able to specify a number of beneficiaries to receive a percentage of the rewards and the percent of the potential liquid rewards to receive as Steem Power. Unallocated rewards by default go to the author as they currently do.

Should work for comments also. Especially if #774 will be implemented. Comments to the same post can be published from different apps. Developers should be rewarded for all efforts.

Yes. All content will be eligible for this.

this will bring so many new possibilities. :heart:

The comment_options_operation extension field can contain a vector of pairs of account names and weights to specify the comment beneficiaries.

struct comment_payout_beneficiaries
{
   vector< std::pair< account_name_type, uint16_t > > beneficiaries;

   void validate();
};

Beneficiaries can be set when there are no votes on a comment. Setting options of any kind should be done in the same transaction that the comment is created in.

Processing of the beneficiaries during payout will go in order of the vector and whatever is left goes to the author. The sum of weights cannot exceed STEEMIT_100_PERCENT (10000).

Testing is waiting on #659 to be merged.
