It looks like everyone is making proposals nowadays to solve the problems we are facing on STEEMIT:

1. Spam.
2. What should fair reward distribution look like?
3. Do we need a seperate downvoting pool, because it is now very expensive to downvote. If you downvote, you lose 100% of your rewards that you could have gotten with an upvote of equal size.
4. How to solve the post discovery and curation problem? (self-voting and vote selling is more profitable, which is bad)
5. Are voting bots useful or harmful to the steem economy?
6. and many more...

So in this post I want to share a few solutions I think would be best to push us forwards into a better future for STEEMIT:

A. Keep linear rewards, because it is fair.
B.
C. Create a seperate downvoting pool of approx 10% of your VP, which is limited to 10 downvotes per day. (the first part of this idea is also from @trafalgar)
D. Create a new column in each category (new, trending, hot) AND within each tag, for posts with rep <40, <60 and >60 so that more content can be discovered this way and does not dissapear in the new category within an hour...this can also be accomplished by adding a filter.

I am interested in what @trafalgar has to say about this, and I hope he will read this.

Now discuss!
