Appreciate your looking into tinkering with inflation. However, as someone who doesn't write a lot, I would prefer my stake grow from a curators position. Not sure the math would be there for me to stay staked up if it was removed and cut into. Right now it accounts for a good chunk of my earnings here and not sure why I would wish to have stake in the system if the benefits went largely elsewhere.

I know you believe that it would make votes worth more, but not so sure of that myself as I believe many would flee having stake. The current system is part of why I work on building stake, and I don't know I would covet holding stake with these changes. Would probably keep a bare minimum here at that point to interact and move the rest to something like Bitcoin.
