@pfunk Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your valuable input on the proposal. I have adjusted the post to reflect your suggestions regarding unrelated and ineffective variables. I agree using a simple SBD earned per post avg could be sufficient.
In response to your second point the complexity of including one additional variable is incomprehensibly insignficant compared the growth from a properly curated repository.
We "$STEEM holders" are essentially paying curators for a service. Assuring we are spending that efficiently and prudently is always "worth it". Spending the curation funds on services that grow the value of the repository and in turn the improve the value of website, blockchain, and tokens, is the purpose of the reward.
I may be wrong and this is technically insane or unfeasible but I think @dantheman would know the answer to this one best, maybe he can chime in?
