I already told you that I liked the idea of being able to redirect a part of your inflation reward to another author as post reward. However, I have a few objections to your proposal.

a) Governance

I think the biggest objection is the impact of governance, short powerdown times = extremely dangerous for governance. This is two fold:

• If everyone that powers up can participate in governance:

Easy way to manipulate governance with a high stake quickly and then leave quickly again (Makes an exchange attack more likely)

• If only long powerup times can participate:

The overall stake participating in governance will shrink significantly making a 51% attack significantly more likely.

b) Incentive:

At the moment holding hive gives you an incentive to participate in voting and engaging on the platform. I agree that this incentive also leads to wrong decision-making but I also believe that significantly less people will engage and significantly more people will just enjoy receiving the inflation and do nothing.

If there is inflation, this should incentive people to engage.
