RE: Can we reduce corruption/manipulation of the Steem chain.
You're on the right track I think. I never understood why the Top 20 got to make decisions while we each got 30 votes. We could expand the top witness ranks to Top 30 and reduce the votes to 20 and that would be a start. As we mature even more we could have a Top 50 witnesses with 10 votes. Thats more decentralization and more network resilience.
The counter argument will be that it'll make decision making about hard forks etc much harder as consensus among top witnesses is required, but that is why we need to mature along the way.
There is no greater difficulty in decision making than there would be now, It is still the same amount of witness have to agree. History also show we need a greater diversity of thought in the top 20 to assist in prevention of a single controlling body.
Key number is the amount of witness involved in decision making, That should exceed by more than 3 x the amount of witness vote people have.
