RE: Steemit Winter Update: 2017 reflection, our Vision Statement and Mission, and a look forward

Thanks for the updates @ned.

I am very excited about the launch of SMTs and I have some questions.

1. Can SMTs use other means that "upvotes" to track Proof of Brain?
2. Is there a way to set up SMTs so that the incentives do not require people to use voting bots?
3. Will SMT ICOs only be open to accredited investors in the United States or can any STEEM holder purchase tokens?
4. Are there any companies that are planning to provide marketing services for SMT ICOs?
