As a whale this is something I want. There is a certain threshold where it doesn't make sense to vote with less than your all because your all is so small that it doesn't result in a payout on its own.
One system we conceived is allowing curators to control their tip amount in terms of dollars. We would calculate the voting power required to pay $0.01, $0.10, $1.00, $10.00, and $100. When you vote your power will be selected to approximate that level of increase. If you do not have enough power in contribute a $100 increase then you will vote with your all.
edit: nevermind I might have misunderstood this, but you can read it anyway:')
Wouldn't the system be a bit "nicer" if you'd vote in percentages in stead of a literal amount of money?(like your suggestion I mean) Somehow it might say 'i think your post is exactly this much worth: $1,32, buy something nice with it;)". Like you could still find out how much it exactly is per user, but you'd have to make the calculations yourself, or look them up on steemd or whatever. So to make voting more interactive, but not too blunt? Just my two cents:-)
I like the idea of the curator picking the dollar amount and calculating the weight from there. It It would be interesting experiment to see whether people vote more when the tip in terms of dollars or when its monetary value is abstracted away. I wonder if they would treat "network money" similar to their own and be more stingy with it.
Good idea.
