RE: 'Conciliation' of the reward curves? / Die 'Versöhnung' der Reward-Kurven?
I see, I think these are two separate issues, reward curve and self voting. I would keep the reward curve linear and perhaps address the self voting issue for big accounts in a different way, if at all. For example, we could limit the number of self votes per day or introduce a cap for the value of a self vote, what do you think?
It wouldn't help, because most big account holders have at least a few accounts. And of course also the reward curve plays a role when it comes to the question how lucrative self-voting is.
If you are interested you may read one of my older articles about the self-voting topic here.
A non-linear reward curve does not solve the fake account attack vector too. A corrupt whale can create multiple accounts and upvote his own content, even profiting from a non-linear curve with that. I still prefer linear.
... But then he must spread his voting power over several accounts and 'waste' some voting power before n^2 is getting effective ...
New conclusion, maybe we have to live with that, it is similar in real life too, a billionaire has more power than a normal citizen. If it is acceptable for a minnow to upvote oneself than it is probably also acceptable for a whale to do that ;)
Acceptable?

Less effective with n^2.
Cannot just another honest whale or bot downvote such blatant misuse?
At his own risk to get flagged as well?
Flagging is an option, but I prefer a system which prevents abuse as good as possible. One idea to reach that is my suggestion of the 'combined reward curves'. (I didn't say everybody has to agree with it.)
I agree, that was a great idea, which - as we now know - years later indeed got implemented.
