RE: A more thorough consideration of the Early Voting Penalty issue
"A vote at minute zero goes 100% to the author, 0% to the curation pool, and generates zero curation for the voter."
This... still incentivizes self voting right? A self-voter will receive 100% of the reward from the vote when voting early under your system (since they are in fact the post author as well as the voter), while all other voters would be penalizing themselves through reduced curation return when voting early. What am I missing. How is this a solution to anything?
It reduces the value of a self-vote (or a bot vote or a sockpuppet) to 100% from the current up-to-800%. If 100% is too high for you than you can still do something else about it, like exempt self-votes or prevent them entirely. Personally I think it's fine.
Edit: it's worth noting that it's still easy to get to 100% under hf20 by voting on your own comments after fifteen minutes.
