not sure if, but i do notice one difference. the tags...
I was unaware of this post until just now so I will go and promote it. I will say though that the steemconomy makes perfect sense if you look at it as a system that gives you back what you put in, but that the only way to "cheat" and take a shortcut to "riches" is to buy a bunch of steempower. Otherwise you have to make those with it happy for money.
I think it is a fair way of doing things honestly. I could be wrong at extremely large scale but with the stuff we are doing i doubt it.
As far as the part where we want to make it easier for devs. I really wish you would have led with that. Prob would have paid out more too.
