RE: Steemit Retro: SMTs, Communities, PISFs, Canonical URLs
Great job this month... we're looking forward to having a place for Communities and SMTs eventually connected to that as well.

Nice, great job to you guys as well!
Yes I agree that @steempeakis doing a fantastic job and I hope @steemit can do the right thing, let go of ego, and sunset steemit.com and redirect all traffic to steempeak and convert / transition steemit.com into a steem.io style foundation site , saving steemitinc $600k+ on their wasteful amazon bills for an unprofitable site that forces them to dumpon investors and users for a while now, when they could just cut costs, let free market private sector solutions like steempeak run the front end game, and i mean, no one even needs steemit incs rpc nodes either as they failed and we all had to start using @anyx 's and he is now getting SPS funding to keep thata live :D
All the current steemit icn employees could stay and even get a RAISE, and work on more important FOUNDATIONAl aspects of the steem blockchain, competing with EOS for market share an users. TELOS will give us a new governance model with Telos Foundation members being voted in, arbitrators also being voted in,and voting for constitution and ratification of new amendments once a year or 2 etc. A few million SP can be put aside for free instant account creation faucet, and maybe they can use some of the money they use now to pay foramazon bills, topay for new account creation
I foresee a lean mean steemin machine in the future, maade deathly efficient by the bear market
You guys have done a great job in the crypto bear market andsteem price being low is only making it cheaper to develop on this platform BUT we still need a underlying and FUNDED steem foundation SEPARATE from the SPS, because we will need things done in the background everyday, that SPS cannot do for us, so a foundation for steemit inc to replace their duties running a front end will be the best thing for steem.
Sunsetting steemit.com was part of dan larimer's original plan for steemit anyway, it was never meant for steemit.com to last this long,we were supposed to be more ":decentralized" well steempeak can help us achieve this goal. So much money will be saved and can be put into account creation and marketing that we will finally see a new golden age . A new steem mobile app can come out and we will finally have Free Instant Steem Accounts for anyone downloading the mobileapp.
Our AWS bills are not anywhere close to $600k/month, nor have they ever been. Production is currently around $25k/month. This is down about 87% from this time last year thanks to important technological advancements we've made which includes Hivemind, Appbase, and MIRA. However, these technologies help everyone wanting to build on the Steem blockchain, not just us. This is the ultimate form of dogfooding.
We also support a large amount of the Steem ecosystem via infrastructure that we provide. I welcome more decentralization though and the more people that can rely on their own infrastructure the better off we are as a whole.
We've signed up over 90% of the existing accounts on Steem and continue to do so, and more effectively than ever before.
As you may know, we're also getting ready to release a new front-end product for Steemit.com: Communities. We will not be sunsetting anytime soon.
You should also take a look at what the foundation has been doing to get started as that sounds like a topic you're interested in as well.
Thanks for caring about Steem @ackza - we're all in this together.
