Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! The resteem goes a long way and we are always grateful. =)
Yes, the tiers are a new attempt to get more SP so we can support more members. Leases and steem prices won't carry us forever.
@thealliance is a great project and we are honored and happy to share a comment with them. They are a great project indeed! =)
Is the steem power payment a one-off fee? so can I gradually contribute per tier as a one-off until diamond for example? (I am a long way off too but I have been here for a month and I love it and I try so hard too! and I have been introduced by the wonderful @aussieninja :) so I bought some steem dollars with some ethereum I had, and I have transferred 4 to you today) I only have 30 steem power. I stupidly bought cryptokitties last november, I am hoping I can sell them later this year and then I will invest all that ethereum on to this platform :)
