To me my immediate reaction is that this sounds like a brilliant solution. I believe that this will work and trust the minds that have made Steemit so successful already.

@dantheman, thank you for listening to the users in your platform. Giving us all the ability to voice our opinions not only lets us participate and feel our thoughts are given proper consideration, but also benefits you. Regardless of status or reputation, any user could come up with a valuable idea about this future change that you can weigh out with some others and form the best system possible.

Side note, you can't be putting watermarked images into your posts without giving the authors credit. That would look like a black eye to new users in my opinion. I'd recommend changing the picture to one without watermarks and as a prominent leader here, I think it is important to lead by example. We may need an easy way to give credit to the authors of a picture or video and embed it inside for those who wish to see. Would cut down on copyright infringement.
