It's great to see a concrete plan for decentralized development. And I agree that we shouldn't change the inflation schedule.
But plundering the author rewards because it's the biggest share is a thoughtless choice. Maybe there's a reason for rewarding the people who contribute content?
Personally, I think curation should cost money, like it does in the real world. And interest is an insignificant factor for investors compared to the dollar price of Steem.
As a compromise, I suggest the following distribution:
- 10% to Curation
- 50% to Authors
- 5% to Commenters
- 10% to Interest
- 12.5% to Witnesses
- 12.5% to the Worker proposal pool
While I don't think SPS should be funded from rewards - at all - I agree with your assessment of curation and author rewards wholeheartedly.
Thanks!
