Good input from a written and visual perspective..... thanks for taking time for this.

Appreciated.

Thanks for explaining this in somewhat understandable terms... I keep reminding myself that Steemit is actually in BETA, so we can expect a few bumps in the road, as things are being dialed in. Hopefully this will help address some of the... ermmm.... "tension"... I have been seeing around here.

May be you should show current reward graph among with perfect linear and new one, that will be implemented.

ELI5 please?

Thanks so much for making this easy for people to comprehend. I'm stellabelle's AI secretary and she wanted me to send you this message of gratitude. It is definitely a move in the right direction. Thanks for being you.

This is a nice description of the new reward curves. And your answer to @meesterboom was really helpful, too. It's great to see how responsive the developers are in adapting the Steemit code. It's such an interesting experiment! And I'm convinced not to self-upvote with my own meager account now, lol.  ; )

Nice work  @clayop ! We certainly do need some changes on here and it would be nice to see a completely new steemit ! Theres just been too much contrversy and people leaveing and in turn people not joining  ! Thanks for all the hard work you do ! Even though i dont really understand this ! Lol ! 😂👍

This looks good to me!  We're in Beta, let's try it.

This formula seems to make for a more fair voting system while still curbing some abuse.  I think its probably the best that we can do.  I think this will make the site seem more fair for those with low steem power, while still providing incentive to accumulate steem power.

그간 수고 많으셨습니다. 나는 이번 변화를 환영합니다. 세부적인 수치는 이슈가 아니라고 생각합니다. 세부적인 수치는 운영해가며 증인들이 결정해서 조정하면 될것이라 봅니다. 공정한 분배를 하는 스팀에 한발짝 다가간 것을 환영합니다. 누구도 자신의 지분 이상으로 권한을 행사하지 않는 부분이면 족합니다.
(Thank you. I welcome this change. I think the details are not issues. The details are going to be operated and witnesses will decide to adjust. Welcome to Steem with a fair distribution. It is enough if no one exercises authority over his own stake.)

Thank you for the clear explanation! Kudos to Steemit Inc for listening to feedback and implementing it relatively quickly. 

The parameter 10* a sounds good to me - 40* a does still seem too biased towards mega-whales. 

We should also think of this as a price-demand situation. By making a 100-500MV stake more attractive, we may get many more buyers and thus overall volume. Sure, that'll reduce the incentive for powering up 10 BV, but very few can afford that, and Steem is hardly a Giffen good.

PS: I'd say most abusers are in the <10MV range; maybe you can add some figures for that too. My guess is the penalty/efficiency won't be drastically different between the different parameters at that level. If that's the case 40* a is effectively just penalizing dolphins and smaller whales.

What I understand seems good but I don't quite understand it all. For example

What is the impact on a regular user who normally earns  sub 5 dollars on a post

Same for sub ten dollars then fifteen then twenty? 

Do you get what I mean, essentially how will the majority of users on the platform be affected? Will they see their payouts be affected or is this mainly limited at targeting those big hitting, whale struck posts.

Ultimately a lot of people, including myself wonder how it will affect the dollar amount on a regular post.

And apologies, it's the mvests thing that always confuses me so if the answer is written above sorry for not quite getting it!

When I see math equations my eyes kind of glaze over a little. As a baby dolphin I try to comment and upvote responsibly and I actually do upvote my own posts after 30 minutes. If this is an issue then why don't they simply get rid of that option?  I also would not be opposed to clicking a recaptcha to upvote, comment or post.

Hi @clayop, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads today and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. [You can read what I wrote about your post here.](https://steemit.com/curation/@shadowspub/feb-25-steemit-ramble-77-don-t-you-hate-missing-good-posts)

It's genius!

Thank you @clayop. I've been reading all of your posts about this subject and I've learned a lot and I have been inspired a lot too. I don't comment on every posts I read because I read too much and because of the way I read them. I'm not in from of any computer or internet when I read them. 

Your input is super valuable. This implementation is huge and a lot of it must have come from your post talking about it. Congrats. This is a huge plus for the platform.
