A Curve, A Line & A Monkey! - How would you explain HF19?

I'm a strong yes for a flatter curve, we need to have the site work for as many people as we can. The more people who have voting power the better the site will be.

Well, everyone has voting-power afaik, there is 3 weeks of accumulated rewards in the rewardpool because of the "whale experiment" which I think @abit and @smooth should conclude at some point.

Specially for those of us who have bought our stake and support the price outside of steem in the markets they are trading. "Become a Whale" @andrarchy said - well, now I am a whale. And I cannot even upvote or onboard anyone serious with a 100% upvote...

Total Reward Fund: 1,227,894 STEEM (Worth: $295,923 internally; $326,396 on Poloniex)

And it just keeps on going up and up and up.... when will it top out?

I want to support channels like @nextnews and others... but I am now forced to support with less voting-power then I have the rights to, just because two whales seems to want this "experiment" to go on forever and ever... Imagine THAT money-grab in the end?

I'm guessing that when the HF happens they will stop the experiment. I hear you at @fyrstikken, people who invested their own money in here deserve to be rewarded. I just think if new users and smaller users have more power they will use the site more, stay on longer and bring in more people, which in turn will help the site go mainstream. It is very frustrating for new users who post and see that their vote do nothing and they make no money. I'm sure we can find a compromise so we can reward investors and help new/small users feel this site is worth their time.

I understand your point Fystikken, but I think your investment in Steem platform will do far better when voting rewards are more evenly distributed and not just in the hands of few big whales.

I'd rather see 100 people have voting power of 1 penny each than 1 guy with dollar and 99 with nothing. I'd guess in the first scenario, we actually would keep some of these 100 users and in the second one lose most.

If the new HardFork that comes is like this, this will help the new steemians to see profits in a short time, where I can read about that ??? @fyrstikken

Yes, @sethroot, you can read more about it here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/proposing-steem-equality-0-19-0-as-the-next-fork

but that is the problem - @steemit write it all down instead of showing with an illustration how the fork effects from current fork.

And since the propose is called "Steem Equality" which for me sounds like a fancy word for experimental socialism, then I want a second opinion on the matter. ( @ned, @sneak - you two done playing with "The Mythical Man-Month" by Frederick P. Brooks, Jr. yet? Maybe time to pick up a book or two by Dr. Richard Denny called: "Selling to Win" and "Motivating to Win" add to your learning-curve... or learning-line... or learning-monkey...? Just sayin´)

I think they should check some things! For me the HardFork 17 was fine! But well this equality has never worked in any government, that will only work in heaven :D

Is supposed to award the most original posts and with better content, so anyone becomes a writer :S

I don't know much about it yet. I hope it turns out to be better than a monkey, on fire, skydiving down a bottomless pit, screaming 'turtles, turtles everywhere!'

I think, if we try, we may be able to mount a rocket engine on our Steem bull. To the moon, on our way to Neptune and the stars!
