RE: Steemit Reflections: A Letter To Ned
Nor can I claim to understand what exactly your team at Steemit.inc has actually been doing these last few years as the front end here has languished in beta mode
I have often wondered the same thing! I have no idea what they really do in terms of 'marketing'. The big thing that holds Steem back in terms of mass adoption is 'ease of use' - mainstream users want something simple as an alternative to Facebook etc, and Steem is anything but easy when you join up!
I wonder if Steem could survive without Steemit inc... I know there are a few witnesses who run their own nodes, but this might not be enough. The death of Steemit could be the beginning of a great Steem future!
Not just marketing. I can actually respect they aren't shilling like some of the other chains. I am wondering what they have been doing not only in development, but analyzing the hardware. The post I linked to has an ongoing dialogue on inexpensive ways (on relation to how it is being does now renting from Amazon) to run the nodes. I am astonished there was not someone assigned (or a few someones) keeping track of this side of things. I am unsure of a lot, my ignorance a good part of that. Despite that, it still isn't adding up how we got here.
