Wow... This is a good trending topic which is agitating a lot of minds. This is what a lot of people do and it pushes good content down the pecking order of importance. However, the ways one know pushes him upward. This is a good experiment and i will like to join in the act. Selling vote would be good as one doesnt get much from curation unlike vote selling. Good article.
The curation rewards certainly sucks and need an adjustment in my opinion. After gathering the numbers we might be able to further discuss what to change and how to change it.
