+1 for your 5K-steem-donation initiative to help accelerate mass adoption. However I caution over-emphasizing the $$ rewards for a post. Many reddit users I know of are idealists and they believe in the pure value of their posts' content. Imagine a bot that says “This post is estimated to have earned earn $1.45 on steemit” and these users know what a bot can post and there is a way to manipulate the trending of the post. The outcome may turn out to be opposite of what we intended.
