RE: Curie Weekly Update (11th Sept to 19th Sept 2016)
I love what you're doing with the curie-project, but I fear it's only a band-aid to a broken curation system that too heavily rewards those on the far right of the SP scale and too lightly rewards those on the far left.
I've come up with what I believe might be a solution to the imbalanced (unfair) Steem distribution model, in this article about making time spent on a post weigh into voting, versus the see-post-by-popular-author-spend-1-second-to-upvote model that Steemit is currently running.
Our time is valuable, both whales and minnows alike, and Steemit doesn't currently acknowledge that in their payment distribution model; hence, the poor user retention, IMO.
Check out my article (linked above) to see my suggestion for how to do so in an intelligent way that integrates account Steem Power value, which I believe is fairer to all parties involved/ invested in Steem.
