I see a lot of your points. I need to think about it a bit more. "To encourage curators to vote for content beyond the first 24 hours, whilst not taking away the incentive to find and curate content early on." ^^^^ This is a difficult to do, given the current platform. I was not aware that voting used to be the way you describe. "Curators are rewarded for "deep-level" creation, thus incentivising them to stay on the platform." I would love this. Posts have to be seen fairly quickly to gain traction. People typically will use things like randowhale, bots, etc to get a jump and hopefully get to the hot page. There are tons of posts about the "best times to post on Steemit" I like your idea. Content is content. And having to post at a certain time or use bots for exposure isn't really all that cool, imo (even though I do utilize them) I think giving curators incentive to find "buried" content would be great. Especially if they already like searching out new and exciting stuff.

Thanks for your comments. I do think you're right, it's difficult to do given the current platform, however we've had 20 hardforks so what's one more? I think as time wears on the best times to post on Steemit will become less apparent. I have already seen this in the last year, when I joined the best times to post where between about 21:00 and 03:00 UTC as this was prime time for North America. I like the Easter egg model because the only way to game the system, is by playing the game and not pretending to using bots. Hopefully enough people will see value in this, and that will alert the devs to a possible change. [*Cg*](https://steemit.com/@cryptogee)
