Hi @spectrumecons first I really appreciate the way you have explained the idea of the linear curve.
It kind of adds more clarity to the topic of rewards.
I know you are the goto person for matters of economics at least here on steemit.
I do not say w.r.t only this post but I have been following your earlier posts though on and off where you have explained the concepts of economics in simple words.
So coming back to the main topic. I personally feel that palnet and other such tribes are great experiments.
How they fare in the future is something that only time would tell.
At least they are attempts to build something that takes the good things from steem and builds upon them.
It is quite premature to say if a lot of them would succeed. Though Palnet being one of the ones with a strong backing has a better chance of survival.
It does seem to be doing a lot of interesting things such as the 50-50 reward split.
Though the token volumes are slim but it does set an example as to what all can be done in terms of building your own specific tribe.
