Nice work. Shared to facebook and twitter. But Ned ... when you talk about account based voting shifting from weighted voting, you scare me because you take away the carrot for building up steem power and maintaining a stake in the platform. This could cause a crash in steem. That is not good for anyone. The whales could just cash-out their steem and go home.

A slight shift in vote-power would make a big difference ... something like giving dolphins and minnows a little more vote-weight for the SP they hold and featuring curated blogs on the login page and not bit-botted work, but still have a promoted section for bit-botted work.

You might also offer a minimum assured vote value regardless of SP. Say, every steemian in good standing gets at least 10 2cent votes a day.

Just some ideas. There is a lot talk about the problems on steemit and they get hilighted but if you dig below the surface, you will find there is a lot about steemit that works very well. From where I am siting, we don't need to tear down the voting system, just tweak it.
