I fully agree the building of a funding pot to support development of great tools! I also agree to less funds to witnesses, I think it is now something like 50% of all the new Steem to witnesses. Yes, witnesses spend time and money running their nodes, and work with the community and Steemit Inc to progress Steemit and Steem, but without analysing the rewards witnesses get, I think 50% is quite lot compared to all we Steemians who also spend a lot of time developing the community.

Than again, if my numbers are not correct, please let me know. At this stage, I do not have any solid percentages in mind to re-distribute to development, witnesses and the community at large (reward pools). That requires a better understanding of the value minted everyday, and distributed everyday. If you have these numbers, please post them here.

I do agree to community voted re-distribution. Maybe we can have a 1-2-1 vote implemented for such polls, so the few with majority of the vote power will not be able to determine the outcome.
