I like the idea of a power down tax, but a power up tax would be negative in my opinion. If anything, I'd like to see more reward for those who remain powered up maybe a bonus for those who have never powered down any hive at all, that grows a little bit each week/month/year
Some great ideas though, it's great to see our distributed global community coming up with proposals and discussing their merit.
There is an interest on HP, which is currently about 3% - not too bad considering a bank offers 0.5% :D
Yes good point, the 3% is great and it's not even easy to find 0.5% with the bank!!
