RE: Steemit Improvement Idea: Variable Power Up/Down Option
It certainly looks like a good idea but it would be helpful for someone with economic expertise to chime in on this one.
I suspect that the way the system is currently set up took a long time to figure out and @ned and @dan probably won't want to change it unless there is some definite improvement and they know the new system will work at least as well.
This scheme was the only thing I could come up with that acted as a counter-balance to powering-down with zero considerations necessary.
I honestly thought that powering down took power out of votes, otherwise why wouldn't everyone power down at all times if for no other reason than having the option to power back up after their payouts if they are not in need of liquidity?
I think you are right about that though - I remember someone posted on this after powering down and their vests started to go down immediately which one would think would affect their voting. I think they then stopped the power down because it scared them!
