I agree. I've proposed layering different rewards timeframes: i.e. split the rewards pool between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly rewards.
kr indicated there was some interest in trying something like that.
I think it's a good idea. A one-week minimum period seems balanced to me. The method you proposed is fair and rewards all stackers in a balanced way, whether they spend more or less time. Overall, the rewards are proportional to the time that stackers spend on Stacker News.

I like doing this every March as March madness but maybe only half the rewards should be accumulated and the rest go out daily.
