5% powerup tax.
10% instant unstake tax.
10% tax on all rewards claimed (including tax rewards)

Nah man, no way. I'd back a 10% instant powerdown tax, but you 100% lose me at the 5% power up and 10% rewards taxes unless it was only applied to whales.

It's hard enough for us low accounts to grow as is, and cutting further into every attempt to grow my account is a fucking non-starter for me. Author rewards are already 50% of the reward pool, and curation rewards for us low accounts aren't exactly taking us to the bank.

Glancing at my last 7 days, I earned between curation and author, 30 HP. With the tax, that'd be 27, which isn't a big difference but adds up over time.

I also earned 7.75 HBD, which if I converted it today would be like... 22 Hive? Powering up would result in 20.9 HP powered up.

A flat average here would be about 4.1HP/7days lost, which over the course of a year is about 213 Hive.

Small numbers, I know - but that's a floor of 100 USD (more, in a real scenario) that I wouldn't be able to use to grow my account. For me that's a significant amount.

So no, I personally, would not support this.

That's my two cents from a small-fry nobody.
