hey mate,

pardon if this is a bit off topic, though someone recommended I contact the witnesses to share a large-scale idea I posted about today to advance Steem’s development, and aiming to get the idea out in front of some power-players who might be able to run with it:


The $1 Billion Steem Development Fund: How Steemit Inc.'s Stake Could Be Best Allocated To Grow A Thriving Network Of Applications And Users...

would be great if you could have a read, and IF you feel it’d be a great idea that’d serve the community, forward to anyone in particular you know who might be in a position of influence to advance the discussion.

not sure who exactly would be in charge of exploring such possibilities and making decisions to implement initiatives like this, though as you’re one of the top witnesses, might be reasonable to expect you’d know - and would be awesome if you could help to pass this along, should you feel inclined.

cheers,

Rok

So witnesses actually code and update Steemit??

Some people do, most don't.

A large amount of the steemit.com code is done by Steemit Inc. staff.

Most witnesses work on their own individual projects, for example I built AnonSteem, Steem-in-a-box, and steemfeed-js.

If you need help with developing sth, maybe i can be of help ;) Thanks for the post, will vote you for witness

I think I have a nwe understanding

I think you have a newt understanding.

Good stuff to get it fixed and keep steem strong.

very good support and help

I have set myself the target to become a witness in the next weeks - I have not fully checked what I have to do but I just want to experiment and give it a try.

I actually didn't know about this, so now you have me interested!
