"I also think it's important to make it valuable to power up STEEM because DPOS relies on powered up STEEM to make it expensive for someone to come in and take over enough witness spots to push through a fork the community doesn't want. It people aren't incentivized enough to hold Steem Power, that would mean it would theoretically be easier to attack the network..."

This is the first time I've heard a witness discuss this. I bring it up, and am brushed off. At least I know there is awareness of the issue amongst competent witnesses now. Thank you.

"Ideally, I'd love for us to have simulators where we could replay the blockchain under different rules and see how distributions change."

That would be amazing!

Is there a possibility that communities might be able to vary parameters? I expect that it will be done with SMT's.

Thanks!
