3. Steem Proposal System will be completed on Monday

It will then be passed over to Steemit Inc to arrange for it to be incorporated into a Hardfork so it can become active on the blockchain.
4. Time to change the author/curator reward split?
Steem investor @theycallmedan has put forward the suggestion that post rewards should be altered to a 50/50 split between authors and curators. This would increase curation and discourage bid-bots.
@practicalthought has offered a response to Dan's proposed change...
