@dwinblood:

Well, we'd all like to pioneer the use of STEEM or SBD. It'd be much better if we could pioneer the use of STEEM or SBD. And stable, clear interfaces would certainly help us to do that. But those are anathema to talk about around here, treasonous, in fact.

Oh, well.

This sounds absolutely amazing. Congratulations. Good luck with your launch: I can see projects like yours creating a completely new dynamic in personal finance, and if successful, begin to morph the idea of what a business really is. Blockchains will win out anywhere people collaborate on things of value.

This is the real message about blockchains, and this is why they have such power. The machines successfully mediate a collaborative human process, and in doing so actually help us to overcome some of our flaws (like casual dishonesty.) Blockchains augment people. They can make value move in entirely new ways that we'd never attempt as just ourselves because they create a flawless shared narrative, which is impossible among a group of 100's or 1000's of humans.

If we even compare this to distributed databases, we find that those mutable systems are vulnerable again from the human angle. And that's the insane thing about blockchains people: So far, they've worked.
