I see a lot of hardwork going on at @roelandp's http://steemtools.com
For example, @steve-walschot quit his job to work full time on improving Steem, while providing valuable contributions to our community since he's joined.

Steve is one of many people working to make Steem better and this seems like an easy, mindless way to support people like him.

@picokernel built http://squeek.io and he made a post about a bounty for someone to build out an open source GPU miner for Steem. I only had a few cents, but figured it was worth sending it over anyways. Maybe more would join if they didn't even think about it as they made content. Microtransactions without any fees open up so many possibilities for us to get money where it needs to go in order to make Steem everything it can be.
