Hi @paulag, thanks for your post. As a new member of the Steem community, I am still learning how things work. I am interested in learning more about the minnow support project and will read the linked post you provided.
I have questions about this work but will hold then until I've had a chance to educate myself a little more. No sense asking questions that might be answered by doing my own homework...
I have upvoted your post and have followed you so that I can read future posts and learn more. Please feel free to follow me back.
In the meantime, good luck on Steem and enjoy your journey!
