I might be wrong in this but I think that there were some changes in the voting system, https://steemit.com/steem/@dantheman/changes-to-curation-reward-allocation I don't even know if this is the most updated version

That is the curation rewards paid to those who vote, not the payout reward for those who post was voted for. It doesn't change the R² quadratic reward scheme which is employed for both rewards (the curation is proposed to use a different modeling math, but still apparently roughly quadratic although I haven't yet digested the differential equations and such just taking his summary at face value).

So this means if someone has 10 times the rep power, then it requires 100 votes from the minions to equal that one vote both in terms of payout to whom was voted for and curation reward for those who voted.

At 100 times the rep power, then it require 10,000 minions. At 1000 rep power, then it requires 1 million minions.

So essentially Dan has probably handed himself and a few other insiders complete financial control over the reward system.

Does anyone know where we can view the distribution of the rep power?

The CEO of Steemit, Inc. is the top curation rewards recipient...

I think you would gain instant access to all information from Dan himself if you opened a steemit thread and it would be really intresting.
