I'm all for the inflation paying the SPS system. It makes sense for now and if we don't like it we can fund the change for the SPS system with the system. We no longer will have to wait on things to get done just because steemit don't have enough hands or because of consensus issues. If its voted for and gets the funding its likely got consensus and its now a clear path to development.
As for the downvote pool, I'm down for it something people aren't seeing is it becomes more profitable to stop the abuse of the down vote pool. Its becomes profitable to create anti-abuse guilds, it might take 7 days for payouts but they would, in the long run, get more profit than bid bots can give especially is they offer a share in the sp powerdowns.
I have this odd feeling those downvotes will also be used on bot votes as they take about 30% of the pool now. Also with this new system, the bid bots would be getting more of the vote. It becomes more of a risk to invest in bidbots in the long run.
I personally have no issues with the bots, but people just sitting taking from the chain and creating no value are the reason our chain has sunk to its lowest point. So here is to the future.
I flag trash (and morons). You have received a flag.
