In the interest of time, I’ll reply to both of your comments here @thedarkhorse / @insight-out.

First, to @thedarkhorse, I understand what you are saying about a separate “curation only” trail. So … I grudgingly accept that I suppose, as it takes into account a limitation of the design of the Steem blockchain overall. And, at the same time, the way in which you personally want to / have chosen to manage the main @pifc account … I still believe, though, the “average Steemian” would find a single account simpler to understand and follow …

A “curation trail” @insight-out, is more than simply setting up an auto-vote. An auto-vote allows you to make sure any post from the “auto-voted account” is going to have support from you, whether you have the time to actually go read and comment on the post. Or not …

A “curation trail” takes this idea to another level, whereby you are also then auto-voting on any account the “curation trail” account is voting on, i.e. that they are "curating." By so doing, we are making it possible for others to increase the value of earning the support of the “main” account. My referenced example is the well-known @curie account. Throwing his support “behind” the efforts of the @curie team is a “whale” like @hendrickdegrote, who has elected to auto-vote the @curie “curation trail” … Hope that helps.

That said, @insight-out, great input on the overall “vision” of the PIFC community “core,” etc. No question the ideal is to obtain both the financial support of other accounts, as well as investment of their time to write meaningful comments on posts / other comments (see the CEL weekly post, for a great illustration) ... We’ll see what @thedarkhorse has to say, although he rightly is also gathering input from the judges, without whose support the “vision” begins to fall down. It’s a “team effort” …

Great exchange that, for me, highlights the fascinating potential of the Steem blockchain. When we start mixing the nobler aspects of human relations with financial incentives / motivation, well … You never know where we might end up … 😉

On into my day. Have a great one “over there!” 😊
