Great post, I don't like the EIP proposal either. This is my take on the situation...any thoughts?
My biggest concern with this EIP is that blogging and Steemit.com are still the main source to "mine Steem". But we all want to have a thriving SMT and Dapp economy. That is an unfair privilege for Steemit.com and blogging in general compared to all other dapps like Steemhunt, Magic dice or Steemmonsters. IMO the whole POB mechanism should be removed from the Baselayer Steem and should be put in the hands of SMT and communities. Steempower should only be good for voting on witnesses, voting on worker proposals from the foundation and maybe vote on SMT main accounts to allocate some Steem from the reward pool.
When SMT and communities are hete than those admins should have control over the reward curve mechanism and POB they want to implement.
But if we leave Steem with blogging only mining than its going to be an on going issue while we move towards an dapp economy.
