And you are correct, I can do either of those things but not all (or some combination of them). That said, the point holds true. Unlike SP, I will have excess RC to pass onto people.
As for the rest, the new update is increases the RC each has. We are going to see where the numbers end up since it is completely in flux right now.

Yeah it was holger80's IIRC he was telling vote and transaction prices reducing but the comments are still the same. I think it will find a good spot for everyone in a few days, it will allow newcomers to interact enough and keep spammers away.
