I am not sure what you mean, "the other thing is to reduce the interest rate slightly to make up the difference?"

BT replied to you.

I mean that there is an interest percentage paid on stake isn't there? If I recall (don't quote), 19% of the pool is paid in interest to account, 10% to witnesses. If the interest rate is reduced slightly it would mean that the entire staked blockchain (those who will benefit the most from development) will fund it.
