A cap on the weekly rewards is currently in place at 0.6 XMR per week, giving stasher news curators 10 weeks of guaranteed high weekly rewards at the current reward pool levels.
It was a bit of a rush to get this implemented safely ahead of the next distribution in 2 days. I chose 0.6 as a conservative which I feel is beneficial for stasher as a platform. But I've gotten a few complaints already, therefore we're putting it up to a vote. These are user rewards therefore users should have a say to some extent.
This week's distribution will run at 0.6, but it can be adjusted based on the community's feedback for the following weeks.
Would you prefer:
Keep it at 0.6 (current pool is fully distributed in 10 weeks)
Increase to 0.8 (current pool is fully distributed in 7 weeks)
increase to 1 (current pool is fully distributed in 6 weeks)

Oh man she's a close race!
Weird idea, but why not have two cut offs? You could have a total weekly pool of X Monero for the top 3, and Y Monero for the top 10/20/30 out of an overall pool of 1 or 0.8 (0.6 would be too low to split IMO)? It would still be based off of the same pool of rewards, but it would essentially create a worthwhile competition for the frequent high quality posters and then a nice rewards system for the ones who use it somewhat infrequently. That would encourage the infrequent participants to participate more frequently because they get something like a reimbursement plus maybe a little extra.
curators already have a score and the pool will reward based on that score. I'm not sure what benefit separate pools would create. Seems like an overcomplication to me.
