RE: Thoughts on SteemiTron - Yes, I tend to take my time :-)
As @midlet mentions, when we as a community can power up more than Steemit, Inc's stake we could always counter any witness voting they do. Another suggestion I like is lowering the amount of witness votes per Steemian to something like 10 votes, so in theory one stakeholder can 'only' decide 10 of the top witness spots while the community will decide the rest. I like the last option best as it seems like a permanent solution to the otherwise permanent threat of getting bought by one millionair/whale :D
Every time I have seen the lowering the numbers, people always say it won't work because they could always split their SP among a number of accounts, Yes they could do that, but it would still dilute their power, yet that point is always ignored. Perhaps the witnesses now that their positions could be in danger may try to do something. Another solution is a graduated scale vote. You still get your 30 votes, but each vote is lowered, a sliding downscale. example 1st witness vote is at 100%, 2nd witness vote is at 85% of total Sp available, and so on stepping down to where the last witness to be voted on by an account only gets 3% of the SP vote power.
One day a solution may be presented and accepted, until then there really is no change in the power of the users.
