Can we please have tokens ASAP? It's the best way to expand Steem and probably the best way to restore a lot of peoples' confidence in the project.

Yeah it would be great if they would complete something that the community actually wants. SMT's please. Empower the community to be able to grow.
Maybe large stakeholder can create a fund and have them developed? Are we going to continue to act like SteemIt Inc is the only potential development company>
Very few accountholders are willing to lead. Not many truly have big enough stakes to engage in meaningful development of the kind we have seen with other cryptocurrency coins that have big stakeholder whales. Ideally, witnesses should be funding this as well, but it's hard to expect that with today's low prices.
Inc owns most of the Steem and positioned itself as the dominant institution. One would think they could develop simple tokens, since they've been working on SMTs for months already. If they do, then many Steem projects would have a way to generate the economic scale they need to expand. Otherwise, there simply isn't enough Steem available for most projects to make things happen.
The witnesses have had plenty of time to put their funds to good use and the vast majority have done nothing. Now look where we are.
Hi @berniesanders , I was surprised by this statement, but I would like to know more about this. Do you have real data proof of the performance of witnesses who did nothing about it ???
Can't prove what isn't there. Your proof lies in the vacuum around the top witness's output and contributions.
Yes @sircork , I think so ... I'm just curious and curious ...

Stay thirsty, my friend.
If I recall correctly, there was even a large debate about how top witnesses were not even running a full copy of the chain on their nodes recently. That speaks volumes to me.
Can you give one example @ipfaust ? I really want to see it ...

Amen.
Lets fork and make development funds part of the inflation.
Then we can eliminate the ninjamine and other issues at once.
And, stinc can go on their merry way without impacting the community fork.
If the community wants to tackle #2, since it seems Steemit Inc. isn't very interested in getting the documentation in shape, then maybe when that's done we can think about adding things. But starting from scratch to solve that problem is still going to be months of work if we can find anyone interested in doing it.
your absolutely right....I have a very simple financial solution.....
2 parts:
(1) - just add 1 line sponsorship to each page view (with a link) no ads though, they can advertise on their own site. would solve the monitary shortfall in no time.
They will need location & category control info but that can be very easy. So local small mom & pops can sponsor. Like your local tavern for the Rugby Blog. Or your local hair salon for a Glamor blog. Or local junk yard for a scrappers blog
Part (2) SteemIt needs to be a separate entity then Steem.
A Kickstarter/GofundMe account needs to be started to raise funds for starting a new open source company to:
to create an advisory committees to determine development and migration needed in the short, medium and long term, And set a public schedule with goals, and possible solutions.
That's how you turn this stuff around!
yeah good points. Shrugs, who knows. At this point, I am not counting on SMTs at all.
If they announce that they won't be doing it, some entrepreneur will probably pick it up (eventually). We already had a sort-of a proof of concept with @biophil's "pocket" tokens, back before anyone was talking about SMTs..
But I think no one is going to take the risk of competing with them for as long as they have one hand in and one hand out.
They did announce they aren't currently working on it.
they said they were tabling it, the problem is, say you start working on a token model and @ned does not like it...and the price of Steem comes back some (which it will)
Then the guys at Steem can hire back the 2 or 3 programmers that were working on it, and viola your aol netscape browser, Internet explorer comes out and knocks you off your perch, you use mozilla, but so does more funded companies like Google for Chrome and Safari on a Mac and not to mention Firefox's open source community...
You essentially become a dead man walking the same way Microsoft tricked Lotus and Wordperfect....How many people use those today????
Agree 100%.
Second this!
Third!
TOKENS! Make them happen. Please.
Totally agreed! At this stage I really hope we can get tokens soon.
I know times are tough but this can make a difference.
Once again, I support this request. There's a lot of negative momentum around Steem right now and this is one way to potentially turn that around.
