BIP-04: 80% Cull of Voting Pool [Alt. to BIP-03]

There is wide consensus in the community to cull Botto's fragment pool to improve the voting experience and results. A previous proposal, BIP-03, targeted a 95% cull of fragments older than 3 weeks but failed to pass the vote.

BIP-04 is an alternative formulation that discussion shows has full consensus.It reduces the cull size to 80% while also removing the 3 week protection for new fragments.

The Initial Cull

• At the end of Round 22, remove all fragments from the pool that have a True Score in the bottom 80%.
• New Fragment Pool Size = .2(349 x 22) = 1,535 Fragments [BIP-03 was 1,361]

Ongoing Cull

• At the end of each voting period, remove the 349 fragments with the lowest True Score from the voting pool. There is no 3-week protection. - With the weekly mint removing another fragment from the pool, this will keep the voting pool size steady at 1,535 fragments.
• To better enable this strategy this will also entail reducing the required views to determine True Score from 100 to 50 [Same as in BIP-03]
