I'm actually pretty happy with the announcement. Completely agree there's no mandate for a change in the SMT fork.
Now they've opened discussions on variable staking periods, I'd like to see everything dynamic.
My vests x days staked / everyone's vests x days staked = my vote weight, RC allocation, witness voting strength and share of the inflation rate.
Or perhaps if that's too much.
My vests x square root of days staked / everyone's vests x square root of days staked.
Cap it at each end, and let us choose any staking period from a week to a decade.
There are so many variables that can be brought into play and I am hoping that they can be thought of as different pathways to steem, each bringing different values. I like the "choose-your-own-adventure" feel :)
Happily Vandeberg seems to be on the same page.
