Exactly, though everyone can still earn POSH for sharing their own articles we purposefully implemented that if they upvote their own shares through the comments they shouldn't receive the hive rewards which instead go to the DHF. So if you want to earn both posh and Hive you have a better chance at sharing articles of others who may reward you with an upvote.

Another way of thinking, though, is that you can incentivize others to share your post by voting up the comments. Say for instance the poshtoken comment in this post which you may have started by sharing your post, you could give it a big vote knowing that you forfeit the hive rewards for yourself but open them up for others to share it on their twitter and depending on how well the tweets perform the other hivers will share the rewards the comment earned.

It gives another layer of demand for staked Hive as you can now reward others to market your post for you which may bring it more attention, views, follows, reblogs, etc. At some point we could even have the comments accept tips that would go to the sharers for smaller stakeholders who want their posts shared on twitter by others but don't have the stake to give it a big vote.

This is a great idea. Incentivize the people to come in behind and share it.

Now that the mechanism is becoming clearer, I am seeing the potential.

Time to kick it up another notch.
