It's not looking like it, dear supporter.
Nobody, but me, is talking about this, and if you have been following along, you know how much I get listened to.
You have to decide for you.
In order to overcome the tax you have to have 400,000hp.
If we had a whale experiment at 1000mv, that only affects the first 39.
Those of you here for the first whale experiment remember the excitement of our vote values 4x'ing.
We also recall that this insurrection caused the kneecappening with linear rewards, the two year walkabout without any developments out of stinc, and the subsequent selling us down the river to the chinese.

What you won't see featured prominently anywhere but right here on this page is that if you have 200k hp, your rewards are reduced by 25%.
The stake that would have had a value of 1, is now worth .75, and that only if you have 200k hp.
If you have less than 200k hp your reward are reduced between 25 and 50% in an exponential curve, the less you have the more you pay.
That is you on the green line.
Now I don't know about you, but I don't want the value of my stake reduced in excess of 40% from the time of that fork until we plebes can overthrow its tyranny.
This is the lot of the majority of us.
You'd think they might have mentioned that in the 'community' discussions, eh?
How do you like not being in the club now?
I'm sure if this fact had been picked up on at the time of the fork, it would never have met with 'community' approval.
Yet, the top twenty witnesses are largely exempt from paying this tax, and knew full well what they were accepting.
If you are voting one of them, thanks for selling us out, eh?
You've cut your own throat and don't math enough to even know.

These are public rooms managed by private people for the benefit of everybody using this blockchain.
What they do is voluntary, but openly public.
Don't abuse their willingness to work for the collective for what little we give them, eh?
Without them, none of this exists.
When you go through these rooms catching up on 'the community', be sure to look for the detective, and add your detective, too!
I know for a fact that I've benefitted from the convergent curve because all of my posts get past the threshold. You act as though you personally need 400k HP to beat the curve, but you only need 400k HP worth of stake to upvote the post to sidestep it.
That being said I of course hate the curve and I'll be glad to be rid of it so I can upvote comments at full strength again.
I should mention that I vote almost all my comments and rarely vote a post with more than 2htu.
I think if you have more than 2htu on a post then somebody that doesn't have that much needs my vote more.
I was at 1htu until hf21.
I can't really complain for me, either.
I do well enough, but I remember the 20+ posts in a row when I first got here that a joker, that has since left, voted me with .015 just so he could laugh about that with his little clique.
Then he wondered why I wouldn't come back to his discord after getting booted for an opinion.
I think without this curve, this is the best the chain has looked yet, for me.
I know I am missing something to complain about, but I'm certain it will come to me with time.
Hive is finally getting enough right to not push people away, imo.
yeah things are looking very up for Hive.
I expect to make it back into the top 40 eventually.
With cubdefi, and no fees, we should become more of what the potential to be is.
I'm excited about tribaldex, too.
I shoulda bought more at the bottom,...

Eh? No?
Not a thing anymore?
Sad!
It's happening!
It's finally happening!!

I only vote witnesses outside the top twenty, for a variety of reasons.
We don't have enough stake to make a big difference, anyway.
