These posts are great! I have never quite understood the reputation algorithm. I did not realize it was like a 10log scale. Question: Can accounts actually hit 80? if so, is it game over or do you think they'll raise the scale or something?

Also, am I right in thinking that these high reputation scores (+60) that so many of the regular users have now... are going to be really hard to get if/when Steemit grows to millions of users? In many ways, I think users right now are really underestimating the opportunity they have to build their rep high in these early days.
