Also meant to add something about the rewards window thing that you commented on @jesta.
I've been 'proposing' a sort of reverse curation on comments. it would work like this:
After the 7 day reward window has expired on the original thread, any rewards on comments would include a 25% curation reward back to the OP.
Also should mention another idea I'm toying with - an ebay like equivalent for steem/sbd. It's not something I really want to do to the level of professionalism that it would require, but I'm just surprised that it doesn't exist already. It's quite possible, though, that one day I'll wake up and just decide to create it. If I do, it will only be a simplified version, as no doubt someone will eventually release a professional version that will kill anything I can come up with.
That would be super interesting (the reverse curation on comments). Honestly the frontends could probably do that just by automatically setting beneficiaries to the original poster.
One thing to be worried about though is that the 25% curation rewards would still come off of the comment, so the poster of the comment would only get 50% of the reward. 25% curation, 25% original poster, 50% author - not to mention any % based on platform which could make it lower.
Yeah I've been looking into 'beneficiaries' functionality as a way of implementing the reverse curation.
Good point about the curation split. I still think it's fair, as the OP is the ultimate enabler of those comments further down the line.
