One size does not fit all for contributions

I think utopian.io needs to support small contributions an lower payout. I would gladly accept a low payout for a small post.

My suggestions as follows :

1. Allow for posts to be uploaded at lower payout percentage, for example %10 so that you ask for only 10% of the normal payout but can post a smaller post.
2. Allow for expansion of existing posts with a chaining of payouts, for example if someone expands on a given post then they would share credit. I mentioned this idea here. https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/you-have-to-add-1-to-4-tags-is-that-english-idea-for-bundling-posts and here https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/smart-contracts-for-licensing-payouts-adding-a-copyright-field-license-and-attribution-vector-into-a-post and here https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/open-source-escrow-accounts
3. Allowing for better management of replies and feedback on the gui https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/gui-for-managing-replies-and-unapproved-posts-in-utopian
4. Keeping of unapproved suggestions for viewing in the system https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/handing-of-unapproved-suggestions
5. Handling of unapproved bug reports https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/handling-of-unapproved-bug-reports

These suggestions are all based around the shortcomings that I have seen in steem and the payout system as detailed here https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/the-weakness-of-the-utopian-implementation-on-steem and https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/consider-a-better-way-to-reward-moderators-to-look-in-depth-into-issues

So until we get a smarter way to handle contributions and payouts with smart contracts we are going to have to live with unapproved posts.

PS, I am only giving steemit links because I want my posts to be visible to the world based on this bug report here : https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@h4ck3rm1k3st33m/unregistered-users-cannot-view-utopian-links
