RE: This Proposal Is An Attack On SBD... Sound The Alarm!
I never mentioned the market price. The account creation fee is denominated in Steem. When I joined in July it was 10 SP and now it's 30 last time I saw. Some witnesses have it set as high as 50.
That is a function of the market price of STEEM. The intent of witnesses who have raised it is to ensure that the "get $X.XX of Steem Power" offer to new users is at least reasonably attractive, and not just a few cents.
It's not something that has come up for me, since I joined back in July... I was under the impression that the power down minimum was based on a multiple of the amount the particular account was seeded with. If it is pegged to the witness parameter, I can see how that would be an issue for very small accounts...
I don't see it as something that would affect most users, though.
It is pegged to the witness parameter.
What is the current SP balance you need to initiate a power down?
It is around 300 SP
