I like the idea of the hard fork to allow for expedited sign ups because Yeah, I have had several real human friends turn away because the sign up process screwed them.
They were literally never verified. 4 people.
I think another great way to grow this platform would be to some how reward those minnows and users who use Steemit daily, and not just for spammy purposes. Perhaps like a constant set value daily activity reward.. on top of curation. For thoe consistent producers that get not support, a 0.05$ daily reward for posting or commenting would certainly be incentive. But is that too socialistic?
This place is built on competition and persistence. I don't care for participation trophies, was only making a suggestion. I will keep on Steemin.
Well their are already so many Curation trails running on Steemit and all we need is to know the right place for showing our work 😉 and iam pretty much exited about HF 20 because that might attract some real active users on Steemit and help Steemit to grow in real terms.
