Another option to reward commitment would be to give bonus voting power to those not powering down.

  • The longer you go without powering down, the larger your voting bonus.
  • Start a power down and you lose all or part of your bonus.

I think this option would do much more to encourage power-ups. Thought I'd throw it out there, it's something to consider.

I saw it after I posted a similar answer.Of course I like it!

This already exists. The longer you participate in a meaningful way, the more SP you earn in the form of rewards and the higher your influence becomes. Rewarding people for time alone effectively penalizes active involvement.

That's true, but is rewarding meaningful participation enough of an incentive? I don't know.

Also, in this scenario, you wouldn't be effectively penalized for active involvement if you are also holding SP long-term.

this should be higher!
