I have been trying to increase my hive again, powering up small amounts of hive daily but I did a lot of power down when I was just starting in Hive in order to build my SPL assets like the time when Venari Wavesmith was sold for 5$ and SPS was nearly .5$. That may also be the case for other so maybe it can be added to the curation criteria that an account owns SPL assets as well as an active SPL player for curation.

Curation criteria may also include accounts that does not power down for 6 months or more and for accounts that power up.
