The broader crypto community is already quite hostile to the platform on the grounds that a lot of the early STEEM was ninja mined.
If that ninja mined STEEM is then used to undermine the value/influence of the STEEM people have bought, that'll just throw fuel on the fire.

I appreciate that, yes - It is a fair complaint. The fact remains though, that the coins do exist and everyone who has bought Steem did so while that was the case.
I am suggesting using some of it to simultaneously clear up the vote bot issue and also to fund some useful projects (maybe).. Both of these could make a significant improvement to the price of steem, so it could work out positively for investors and the platform overall.
It is a gamble in a sense, but then so is buying cryptocurrency!
It's certainly good to have these conversations.
Keep in mind too, we're still in beta, so we're effectively lab rats right now; and you don't go changing variables in the middle of an experiment.
haha.. well, as a system architect, i don't view beta stages as fixed, long term experiments that need to remain rigid.. part of the nature of beta status is that problems arise and changes are made to repair them.
True, but sometimes the rat in the maze and the guy with the clipboard have different ideas about what constitutes 'a problem'.
