Was hoping reward would lessen the n^2 curve that favors the rich.

>fair influence proportional to all holder's stake ~ clayop Agreed!

Small Steem Power curators need value from curating to incentivize them to curate more.  There is incentive to post.  But we need more readers and curators to grow and these users should be rewarded.  Shouldn't they?

`24h+30days >>>>> 24h+7days` ~ liondani AND `tipping function/option to posts` ~ ats-david

Being used to the 24 hour payout and how 30 days doesn't seem to make much difference I believe the 7 day payout would make more sense currently.  Adding a tip  function would allow for rewarding STEEM aferwards if chosen to do so and has been brought up many times in the community.

`author:curator reward ratio should reverse.` ~ liondani

Agree with a larger amount for curators.  Plus part of this goes to the authors which will help smooth things out further.
