Hi Paula, thank you for taking steps to engage new members, I really like SBI and have a number of shares. I have a solution to make curation rewards better for plankton. I would love to get your feedback as a witness. I think it could be a real game-changer for Steemit.
So here is my proposal. Plankton don't mind voting 100%, but whales do this rarely. Currently 75% of rewards go to the author, and 25% go to the curators. Suppose 2% of the curation reward was carved out and given to the first upvote when the post is 5 minutes old, at 80% or more Steem power. The author would still get 75%, and the current curation system would apply to 23%, but the 2% would be a sort of "finders reward". Smaller accounts could do this often, but whales not as much because there is more money at stake. I think this would change Steemit for the better overnight.
Here is the link to the post. https://steemit.com/steemideas/@giddyupngo/if-i-could-change-one-thing-about-steem-better-curation-rewards-for-plankton Take care.
this is not a bad suggestion. I need my power back up to give you a vote on this to boost it up in the comments here. I will also leave a comment on your post. thank you for sharing and asking my opinion
Thank you Paula, I appreciate it!
