So this is entirely a curation initiative? No exchange of money for votes in any way correct? Just a burn to null, or is this in addition to smartsteem still serving as a vote selling service?
Correct. It's without any sort of agreement or exchange in the form of votes/money. This is purely for the good of the platform.
How will your services be funded?
Currently via curation rewards in exchange for SmartPoins, which can be utilized sometime in the near future.
Finally, are you willing to consider moving your smartmarket buisness into the same or similar curation service, as last I estimated you have at least 8m SP assets under management there still contributing to undermining honest curation unfortunately
Yes, but only as soon as we've got an alternative for our users. So far, we've stopped accepting transfers to @smartsteem and am currently redirecting them to @smartmarket. But this is only a temporary measure. The ultimate goal is to move completely to curation and services which are 100% in-line with attracting and retaining users.
I cant argue with this, and hope the other bot services do the same.
