RE: How Steem Changes the Game for Open Source Software
Great post, Ben! Man, you knocked this one out of the park! I love it. So many great ideas here. One thought I keep having is how the blockchain database could have any "skin" we want on it. (For example: http://steempress.io/@benslayton ). I could see someone building a github clone of sorts which would have the features you mentioned built right into their specific market vertical, using the blockchain database for storage. Pretty amazing opportunities here. Can you imagine how much involvement would go up if people got financially rewarded for well documented pull requests? That could be a game changer.
Thanks for your encouragement and additions, Luke! The skin example, is a really great example. I may have to steal that example when I attempt to explain Steemit to my friends and family.
I also envisioned either a clone or integrations built on top of Steem and potentially putting code on the blockchain. I guess I can form a better opinion of possible architecture when I understand more about Steem and future plans of steem. I would like to see git's model of keeping only minimal code changes, and storing that on the blockchain. What's nice about putting code on the blockchain is that no one can steal it from us. You can't censor code on the blockchain.
Rewards for well documented pull requests is a great example as well. I will definitely add that to the article and credit you. :)
nice blog! About the possibilities on top of the Steem Blockchain a wrote an article here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@yonuts/extending-steem-and-steemit-into-the-real-world let me know what you think!
Hey, can you pay it forward and add a post entry to the #bitcoinpizza challenge? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this from someone who got such a large payout and the conversations you started having with your friends and family about it. Your recent proof is in the pudding post is close to what I'm looking for, though I think the focus of that is on the open source possibilities. Thanks!

Similar to SP, SMD tokens cannot be purchased directly on an external exchange. SMD are primarily earned through contributing but can be purchased by converting STEEM tokens to SMD tokens.
Actually Steem Dollars can now purchased on external exchanges !

PS Abbreviation of SBD = Steem Backed Dollars
or just SD = Steem Dollars (not SMD please edit)
