Just a note - I commented on a bunch of comments, through the inleo interface and now many of them are simply ... gone.
Still a LEO believer but recognizing that doing all our work on that interface may be... dumb.
The most important thread of the bulk of my comments was the thought of paying the people who work the account waaaay more than 5%. I've seen Projects ran by selfless people often end up with the same selfless people rage quitting HIVE.
Yeah - LBI is a LEO project, that won't change. I've had a few people tell me the 7.5% is not enough. My response is that I'm likely to keep buying more LBI, and move alot of my HIVE funds into a big LBI position. So yes the operator fee is one thing, but if I have heaps of tokens then working on LBI is simply working on my HIVE wallet, so building up LBI income is directly building my own income - from dividends along with the modest operator fee.
