Curation Rewards Could Possibly Be Redistributed IMO
Little Background Why I Think This Area Is The Area To Tweak
Just an idea I've had, I have a small amount of SP and I'm really not crazy adamant about voting at any specific times, nor do I restrict myself anymore to majorily voting on posts that I think will be popular, which is nice. I just follow who I enjoy and upvote them when I come online throughout the day reading as I go.
I only bring this up because I'm not doing anything in particular that's overwhelming or exhausting or even special, shit I don't strategize at all anymore with voting. I'm merely enjoying steemit, voting as I go, and I'm still making over 50SP in steem power. There was a time when I was making over 200 being ridiculously adement when the feed first started working, then I slowed down but making over 100 is still achievable. That being said, I feel like my curation rewards could stand taking a hit.
I Don't See Why Not...
I'm not sure if this will be popular or be down voted or if it will pass by unnoticed, but I feel like the curation rewards are something that could be tweaked to help hasten the distribution of SP towards minnows. That is basically steemit's only issue in my opinion, is there was a very big distribution to a very small amount of people. I'm not saying scam or anything, I'm loyal as fuck, I have yet to cash out anything, but I am saying a bigger reward pool for minnow voters would help to incentivize both new user signup and a higher level of curation from those new users.
So My Proposal
I see no reason why anyone with over 10,000 SP can't be giving up a percentage of their curation rewards to everyone under 10,000 SP, distributing a higher percent to the lower minnows and a smaller percentage working our way up to the limit. I personally feel like giving up 20% but obviously that's just my opinion, maybe 10% or 15% starting at 10,000 SP? Really I'm just shooting a rough idea I've been mulling around for a while. I believe the biggest whales could be donating up to perhaps 35-40% (again I'm very ok with giving up 20% so I feel like 40% would be acceptable to ask, if that pisses you off I apologize lol) to the minnows curation pool.
I Feel Like There's Some Wiggle Room Here
I truly believe this could help steemit and this is one of the areas where I think we could spare some rewards. It would be a personal choice of all the Dolphins and whales in the community, or a forced change lol (kidding), but I think this could really help steemit and up the interest factor to new adoptors. I also think the allocation of author to voter rewards are fine, so I think tweaking that area is pointless. Maybe people are unhappy with that area but I currently think its perfectly acceptable.
Anyways thats just my thoughts for steemit and improvement for the minnows. I would love some responses on this from everyone just to know if I'm out to lunch with this idea or not so drop me a line, let me know what you think.

Edit I should add I'm not looking for a big payout here, it's just an idea I've been thinking about for a couple weeks now. Post only took like an hour and it's just some personal thoughts, so if ned, Dan, or smooth do read this, or any other whales and you guys think it's shit. A quick thumbs down would be awesome just to know you've read it.
Thank you very much everyone.
