Everybody should be happy with the reward pool, at this point.
If you have put in the time, and developed a following, things here are not near as bad as they were when this debate first arose last August.
At that time the whales were in a feeding frenzy, nobody could get rewards because they were all going to the top.
Rather than blaming this on the people clicking their mouse it was blamed on the platform.
Now that we know that the whales are to be commended for allowing the rest of us a chance to earn rewards the N^2 is serving the minnows quite well.
Just look at ,.. https://steemit.com/blog/@darthnava/fellow-steemers-i-need-help-as-my-mri-results-are-not-encouraging
Without the N^2 would the payout be near as high?
I think not, or changing the algorithym would be pointless.
Either a linear curve drops payouts, or no difference will be noticed.
I know that in the past HardForks were done on orders from on high without much input being desired from the community.
I agree that some of the changes were in fact good ones.
This change coming in HF19 will not serve the masses better than allowing the little fellas' votes to add up exponentially.
As long as the whales don't get into any more frenzies I think we should keep it.
The change I would like to see is a multiplier applied to incoming votes in ratio to how much sp an account holds.
If I have 100sp, I should get my incoming votes multiplied by .0001%.
If I have 200sp, then the multiplier will be .0002%.
This gives an incentive to hodl sp because your income is dependent upon it.
If you power down, your multiplier goes down, and so does your income.
I think the percentage can be miniscule while remaining effective for those that want to maximize returns.
It will also compound the rewards of those that the community supports.
It gives hope to those that hodl, but don't have many followers.
It gives real consequences to powering down.
What do you think?
If you have time, comment below?
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying.
