I'm glad I took the time to read this. I'm thrilled to see contributions from witnesses and community outside of Steemit, Inc. This part in particular gets me excited:
Where I see this heading is that a situation where the Steemit developers and community developers are co-existing and both making positive contributions to the Steem blockchain code.
Yes! Can this grand Steem experiment please be a working model of co-creation between a corporation and a worldwide community? 'Cause that's what I think it will take to make this thing thrive long-term.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about what you're doing. Hope to listen in on SteemStar Network tomorrow. One thing I'd like to see is greater rewards for witnesses who are not in the top 20, but who are contributing value to the blockchain. The rewards for witnesses drop off pretty sharp. I'd be interested in hearing your ideas around that subject, and how you see the witness roll developing as more witnesses step up.
