I actually think we need more dolphins. Dolphins are the happiest lot because their votes count and they feel like they are heard. Perhaps there is a way to create more dolphins faster? I have no idea how this would be accomplished but having more dolphins I think would even things out as far as minnow frustration.
Although I like the idea of removing curation rewards, I think people will be upset. Is there a way to restructure the curation rewards?
The latest distribution analysis shows a continued rise in dolphins which has recently accelerated. To me that makes perfect sense since dolphins are often created by being a successful blogger and earning rewards. This week we have seen several successful bloggers joining the platform and all have been earning.
So the answers to your question about how to create dolphins faster, at least for now, are: 1) keep doing what we are doing; and 2) recruit and develop more successful bloggers.
removing the curation rewards will be a bad idea..
Dolphins are an important part of the platform too, but I fear that as whales gain more power from curation dolphins impact in the eco-system will diminish.
Hasn't the trend so far been a rapid increase in dolphins relative to the whole system?
I think Dans previous post of giving proxy vests to friends would help create a lot more dolphins.
As for removing curation rewards completely - That would be steemits downfall.
