Steem give most of the power to investors.
I'm not sure what you mean by that? From the FAQ on Steemit
- 65% go to the reward pool, which is split between authors and curators.
- 15% of the new tokens are awarded to holders of Steem Power.
- 10% of the new tokens are awarded to the Steem Proposal System.
- The remaining 10% pays for the witnesses to power the blockchain.
So, 32.5% goes to the content creator directly, 32.5% goes to the people that like the content.
It took me a while to think that this was a good split, but it should encourage more "buyers" to the steem blockchain becuase they are rewarded for finding great stuff. With just sellers (content creators) there isn't a reason to create here. There needs to be a balance.
15% goes directly to the "investors" of Steem. Those are the accounts that hold SteemPower
10% goes to the proposal system that pays for improvements to the blockchain.
Finally, 10% goes to the people that make sure the blockchain runs in the first place.
So, only 15% of the reward pool goes directly to the investors of Steem Power ON the blockchain.
They get 32.5% of the reward pool that their content produces this helps them pay for the creation of the content
The curators get rewarded for finding and upvoting great content and get 32.5% of the reward pool. This helps ensure that there the great content floats to the top, and keeps curators active because now there is a real reward to find great content when "sorting by new" because they will get more of the resulting reward the earlier they voted for a HIT.
I prefer the STEEM way. I haven't looked into the APPICs system, or how dApps run in general. For example, what is the example of a APPICs witness? Do they pay for their entire infrastructure including improvements with just 10%?
The Steem way has 10% for operations and maintenance and another 10% specifically for R&D. This is a stronger breakdown for a long term business.
Those are some of my rambling thoughts on the subject. I'm interested to see what others have to comment.
RE: APPICS vs Steem reward : what do you think ?
