Yes, I have been suggesting this approach since @ned's video dropped. Glad to see people with more knowledge and standing in the community than I thinking along the same lines.

I think SMTs are the most important development now needed for growth and to improve STEEM's position. My 2c is that Steemit inc should take on the role of project manager and outsource most of the work.

I really like the idea of redirecting some of the reward pool to pay developers to work on the chain. (I also think a small portion should be redirected into a marketing fund but that's a different issue).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
