Wow, I just read this. If true, Steemit is done for:
Under HF20 a post receiving $1 in upvotes would give the author $0.75.
Under HF21:
The reward pool will be 10% lower to fund the SPS.
The CLRC will reduce the payout by a further 40% compared to linear.
The payout to the author will then be 50% (rather than 75%).
I make this: $1 * 90% * (1 - 40%) * 50% = 0.27 under HF21
So broadly: $0.75 under HF20 vs $0.27 under HF21, a reduction of about two-thirds for smaller payouts.
It should be 50 cents under the new fork but your vote will be worth 10% less since there will be a tax towards the pool.
Last I heard the ten percent would only be accessed to high stake earners. I haven't read any final words on it yet. Haven't heard what a CLRC is.
I think 10% comes out of the entire pool.
