RE: Allow Authors To Determine Curation Split & Timing (Edit 30 Minute Delay)
On Golos [ which is forked Steemit ] apart from "official" golos.io there's another client site goldvoice.club [Just like on Steemit there's busy.org ]
Goldvoice.club allows authors to pay "cashback" to curators, rShares received are calculated and author can decide which % of reward received going to be transferred back to curators proportional to rShares.
There's an initiative on Golos for authors sharing rewards with curators 50/50 instead of 75/25. They can use goldvoice to settle it or just use another "cashback bot" available.
All posts using 50/50 principle are reblogged by "50/50 community account" this giving more exposure.
Last week over 100 authors published posts using 50/50 principle and participants of this initiative now do distribute about 13% of total reward pool on Golos.
The moral is, there's no need to appeal to developers, all that could be realized by a group of interested users.
"Goldvoice.club allows authors to pay "cashback" to curators, rShares received are calculated and author can decide which % of reward received going to be transferred back to curators proportional to rShares."
That's very cool. I would certainly have made use of that option. It's nice to offer the extra promotion to those who participate.

I don't see why both options can't be available. Your option, notably, requires trust if using bots rather than a decentralized blockchain, so appealing to developers is still worthwhile. Or, we can simply code the option ourselves and post it to Git.
