Nope, we took the time to say we're not only focused on the current people and projects in the steem community. We're reaching out and bringing in already established companies into the steem ecosystem like the original plan of smt's was supposed to head towards. Which we have done we have signed a contract to bring in 35 sites, this is not a very bad start.

We're still having meetings with teams who have made steem-engine tokens who want to have a website who will be switching over to our sidechain come launch. Many people don't have 1000 steem to put on a bot and then the 35 dollars it costs to edit it every single time you need to make a change.

So they will be going with the bot we will be making, this means anyone can have a site. Rocketex will be including a free opensource bot for anyone who wants to run a sidechain community. We'll also be providing an on chain contract for token distribution which will automate it in the sidechain which will not cost anything close to 30 dollars an edit. In fact the bot will not have a cost other than edits, you will only need to be staked to use the contract.

The reason we're stepping away from steem-engine is that we don't have as much freedom and we can work on our own timelines. This does not mean were fully stepping away from steem. It means we're looking to make steem grow and feel by reaching outwards pulling companies in this is the best way to help the chain succeed and the chain will be able to do more in the long run.
