We will be removing all the abstractions and SBD from the ledger - everything will be a renamed version of VESTS. The ratio of Vests per SBD and STEEM can be found by querying the chain at any given moment, and it changes according to the median of the witness price feeds. The snapshot has a specific state on this set up, and every balance will be queried by its VESTS base, and liquid VESTS will become JUICE and Steem Power (Vested VESTS) will become Stake.
We should have a testnet up and running within a couple of weeks I think.
Which accounts will be carried over? All or start from scratch? That also has implications for existing posts and comments.
Thank you, I'll bring it to the attention of my Steemit artist friends.
Will the be at some point an attempt to get the VESTS or whatever the coin listed on the exchanges? How and if that all happens is something I do not yet understand yet about the crypto space.
Hey @elfspice, are you aware of the fantastic work @paulag is putting into analysing the current profiles, voting habits and generally a wealth of information about Steemit. She is a statistical analysist and I believe her skills might be of use to you with your initial set up and ongoing development of the new Calibrae platform. She, like you is very interested in seeing things set straight.

I have already made the recommendation. ;-)
I have opted in.
please do contact me regarding any assistance I can give
Thanks, I've been catching up and reading the comment threads on the post and gaining a fuller picture of what has to be done, your motivations, intentions and plans.
I also don't have much of a stake here on Steemit. But, in the last couple of months, the payouts have been enough to pull me out of trouble and pay my bills. If I can be a stable platform, I could really have more of a solid footing pushing my artwork further in the "real world."
I hear you on the cold Winters. It was a topic in my most recent post. -20C while living a poorly "insulated" former East Berlin factory.
So wishing you full power, and good finances for ensuring a comfortable and cosy Winter, while you develop the Calibrae project further. =)
