Hey Dan! I agree with you on the curation curve, this will help in many ways. If it is done I would like to see it on practice, that way we will learn exactly how it would work. Thinking about it the flat curation would be very good for the first 6 days or so and after that it can lower in vote and in curation rewards, let's say after 6.5 days it can go down IMO.
And talking about investors I have a funny story or lesson of someone who decided to invest in a delegation of HivePower, he sent a message to the Hive's Community Facebook page. The amount that he invested was around 500 Hive. He did not spend enough time to research how Hive works and he thought that by having the HP on his account he would win. He did this via @blocktrades so the delegation was not cheap. He asked me why he did not won any Hive and I told him that he should have voted content to win curation rewards, he did not vote any post on those 90 days.
So we do need to make things more simple and also educate the people that we onboard to Hive.
That's the tuition fee you pay, so to say.
