More communication will be great if they deliver on that promise. I think it was an upbeat, but somewhat cautious statement. Which means it's possible the dev team will overdeliver in 2018 - which would be awesome!
II wasn't aware of the multiple beneficiaries thing for posts/comments and don't believe I've seen it in use. Do you know of a use case of this feature?
Yes I do, When you post through dtube for instance. 25% of your reward (what your post makes) goes to dtube (the account). It's how developers can monetise their apps and frontends. I think that's great. They make awesome apps for us to make content with and they get rewarded (25%) when the person that creates content gets rewarded by using their app.
Ah ok, that makes sense and yeah it's a great incentive for talented developers to create new apps and frontends.
