Good post but it seems as if you are unaware of the fact that timing already heavily influences curation rewards (https://steemit.com/steem-help/@liberosist/mind-your-votes-an-investigation-and-guide-to-maximizing-your-curation-rewards)

@mark-waser I am in fact aware of the influence timing has on curation rewards. I was advocating adding variables to reward curating authors who are not very popular. Perhaps I wasn't clear in the way I wrote it. I was referring to the curation value which confirmation of the Nth user adds in direct comparison to the curation value of discovery of new posts. Regardless of the timing penalty it currently still financially incentivises consensus confirmation OVER discovery.
