Thanks for doing this review. I hadn't heard of it.
I like the highlighting editor, but to me the big problem with Ethereum is the cost of gas to transact on the network. I'm assuming this is the case with Akasha as well?
"Free for users" is something Dan has emphasized. In most cases, especially since things have been free for so long, I think it's a necessity for a project to succeed.
Granted users pay with their privacy to use Facebook, Google etc., but Steemit's architecture hopefully has solved that problem. It seems like everybody gets something, instead of all the funds going to somebody like Zuckerberg.
yep, that's definitely a big downfall of Akasha...
