My time isn't cheap, neither are these servers.

No ones forcing you to use it, and you can always just read chainBB and then go reply to things on steemit.com to avoid the beneficiaries split.

I agree with you about expenses. You try to start new business and many will follow . That's good. Market will decide value of new projects. But for steemit user your platform is 15% more expensive. That's my point. If people want to pay extra to blog that's their choice and if and when steemit.inc start to charge 20 % you'll get more people on chainBB. Don't get me wrong here. I admire your skills and talents.

Thanks ;)

What I'd love to do is be able to disable curation rewards on all chainBB posts (which would give the author 25% more rewards), and then use the 15% rewards. Authors would earn 10% more.

Unfortunately every time I bring up the topic of removing curation rewards the pitchforks and torches come out haha.

I don't understand this. Why authors write? For rewards. Why curators read and upvote? For rewards. We all saw how little posts authors made when rewards were low. And for me upvoting 1 cent after investing in steem was very frustrating also. Now I need to hold myself back on voting. I'm like a child with hammer. I see just nails, wherever I look.
