Dear @aggroed
I do agree that 50/50 could potentially work assuming that those who curate would like to stake their tokens (authors usually would sell them right away). It all comes down to our "whales" mindset.
I'm personally a bit worried that bidbots will start powering down and dumping all STEEM, since it may not be very profitable to use them. Of course in a long run that would be a good thing, however for next weeks or even months I would expect growing selling pressure.
Also if we look at PALnet with their 50/50 split, it does seem to be clear to me that they aren't doing that well at all. Let's see how things will look like after hf21.
My biggest concern is non-linear reward curve. I love rewarding solid comments with small upvotes. Many others do the same, and it seem that cost of dropping 0.03$ upvote will be very high after fork. Which will probably destroy culture of rewarding comments :(
And hardly anyone talks about it. People seem to focus on 50/50 split only.
Yours, Piotr
