This comment to the above article is interesting too.
Unless we implement a variable DISPENSATION_PCT as suggested there, it seems that the best option is to set a high, probably max, MINORITY_BLOC_SLASH and a high DISPENSATION_PCT too.
The way I understant MINORITY_BLOC_SLASH parameter by looking at formulas here (extracted from that article above), is that tokens in the losing bloc are redistributed only to the voters in the winning bloc. So there’s no need to redistribute them to challenger/applicant too. It actually makes sense as challenger/applicant will likely be voters too, so they will already have “double” reward. This way everything is simpler, and we can keep this parameter tied only to Voting app, i.e., Curation app doesn’t need to know about it.
I’m going to update the technical specs doc accordingly.
