I'm 100% behind the reintroduction of smartcoin yield (and preferably also UIA yield/interest). I felt that the "5% on anything" was an incredibly powerful message and was a major selling point for me when I invested in BTSX. I believe the removal of '5% on anything' has partially caused the long downtrend for BTS.
Thanks @karnal, I've posted in the Bitsharestalk thread too.
Edit: Just promoted your post $1.00 (enough to get it promoted on the individual 'subs').
