For many months now research rewards are around 27k per day, i.e. even less than you are proposing.

Is the goal to be noticed by investors? (i.e. price increase?)

I believe this will make GRC more noticeable for investors

See how well Stellar is seen; Dogecoin has market cap ~20x higher despite ~ 250x higher number of coins... and they produce more coins a year than a total number of GRC.
