Well, we continue to disagree. I'm aware of the reason for the curve, but I still haven't seen any sort of numbers to evaluate the theory by. I don't know how much of the reward pool was taken by the behaviors CLRC is designed to solve.

That it is a broad brush is the unintended side effect, but, unfortunately, we simply don't know of a better way.

I know it's anathema to this crowd, but KYC would solve this problem. One person, one account would restrict the number of accounts bad actors could have. You could even have a two-tiered system, with opt-in to KYC that gave users access to the linear rewards curve, and opt-out that only gave you access to a curve that had the drawbacks of CLRC without the benefits above that (but the same payouts as linear gave).

Obviously, setting up KYC is a complication in itself, how would the blockchain handle that status switch? Who would be responsible for verifying documents, etc. etc. But it could be done, and if done, it'd be a better way.
