There have been numerous @steemitblog posts and resteems about EIP and its various components including rewards curves and downvoting. They further reference other posts and discussions which go back years and dig into further aspects of the economic theory behind it.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. These discussions need to be accessible in one place and held at regular intervals. I read a lot of the posts and comments over the last few days. This process is scattered and confusing. It's garbage.
