I also fear the EIP will be a big fail, only the ones lucky enough to be within the curation voting circles will be able to get some extra upvotes by curators. I doubt many whale curators will be actively searching for new and good content. It might all attract more dapps that own a lot of SP spreading upvotes to it's users like Actifit & Steemmonster though. It's all hard to tell and way too big of a gamble in my view. I also feel 10k SP won't be enough to make much of a difference in the received upvotes.
