RE: The Pot of STEEM #4
I like the 35 steem refund and the rest goes to the pot idea, ads tension and excitement, and it's easy to explain

@murh loosing to the pot is fair, as it's evenly distributed to all the winners, and not some guy at the top
We can try that at this point when the lowest 20% are equal or slightly higher than 35 STEEM ... However with more "high tippers" the 20% "bar" will go up and the loses can be pretty large ... on the other hand now the ones who lose the most are those who tip the most which is not exactly encouraging either ... So maybe there's some balance in that ... Let's try that in #5 on monday :)
Yes, but if the pot is big the losses will be bigger. That occurred to me when I thought it through, my next idea was to increase the starting pit, but that makes the game different. That's why the soft percentage way seems a bit simpler and better. A flat approach is good too, but it will hamper growth a bit. Maybe we can open more pots :D actually, bigger ones, smaller ones.
Some "minnows" would love the chance of earning 5 steem on their 5 steem entry. :) we are getting somewhere, I have to add to another pot now :)
@j3dy small pot of 5 steem may generate tons of payments to be processed and would not be worth the effort without an automated way to process payments
