Well since it cost to do anything else on blurt, a 4 week power down sounds good. it seems there are a few comments that like the fees, so heck what is one more fee. lets make like a real government and tax the crap out of people just because we can. Oh and forget the graduated percentage of stake fee route, no reason why a 200,000 BP account should pay the same percentage fee/tax as a 200 BP account.
You have to love an oligarchical style government.
no free lunches imho. its mathematically not possible imho. there is a initial cost to any reward u wish receive. work (post, comment, witness), sow and sweat, then reap the fruits, invest then receive divs etc. fees may go to null, the rewards pool, witnesses or any combination of that. the great thing w blurt is that this is a pretty unique experiment we can learn from and may hopefully even be successful
No free lunches is indeed the basic motivation behind fees on blurt.
Nothing is free.
