It's something we have looked at and are trying to find a good number that makes it attractive but still allows us to put a massive use case on the token.
As for people leaving, that's fine. We aren't going anywhere. Our 'direction' is forward, always. And I know what Blain, Eliana and myself have invested into this stuff so we are going to make this stuff work...No matter what.
With a track record of 20 plus years myself, and over 35 combined...We have the tendency to stick with things ;)

The reason I picked 1K is because, after all, how much are people going to unstake on the daily basis?
If you make about 300 LN a day from 2 mails, it's 450 in my case but I have a big stake, are you going to unstake it all? It would be 100 max, which means 3K tops, that's assuming all mail gets verified.
Make it 2K and you're basically taking two thirds of someone's liquid income. Hence, 1K.
As for the rest, there are different ideas just of the top of my head you can set up a Listnerd account similar to Brofi and set it to upvote people based on %. That would get backed up by investors as well. That's just one idea.
As far as right now, it's either 1K or in the 1K area.
Makes sense. I'll see what we can figure out.
Yeah we are under-utilizing the listnerds curation account. We added those shaky shaky and chances to it, but really didn't get a ton of interest. Perhaps that's a metric (staked) we could integrate into the curation tool as well.

Yeah, you're trying and that's what matters. You guys need/deserve breathing room and I believe my idea could grant that.
This is just something to get the ball rolling.
Yeah we are going to do something like you suggested, I talked with the team and they are on board. But we wanna have some fun with...Being all 'marketing-ish' and do a big promo for it lol
We'll have something together soon. No promises on a date but we are all on board for trying it for a bit to see if it generates more excitement....

I'm a bit late chiming in here but still wanted to add my opinion in the matter.
I think 1000 Listnerds (or ballpark) isn't such a crazy idea.
When I look at that I've helped one of my team members upgrade to Basic membership two months in a row. The first month I paid the full amount because he had just started on Hive as well as Listnerds, and the second month, I only had to add about 10 HBD or so because he paid the rest himself.
My reasoning behind this was that I wanted him to enjoy the experience as a whole, as well as make enough progress in both Hive as well as Listnerds to see the potential, without having to worry about how he'd pay for things.
I want what most of us on Hive want: for the platform, as a whole, to grow.
And if that costs me a little bit of my stake, then it's money well spent.
I would do the same for others because most of the members of my team are solid creators who bring something new and unique. However, with my personal situation the way it is now, it's impossible for me to take this from my Hive wallet.
It would probably be a completely different story if it could come from my Listnerds rewards/stake. That way, in my opinion, we all win: People stick around because they don't feel too much pressure to pay for things in the beginning. I win because I keep a team that's solid and brings value. And there are more subscriptions than there would be otherwise.
