RE: Rewrite Steem in JavaScript? Why Don't Dapps Fork and Rename the Coin? Centralization on Decentralization?
Oh wait, may have found your concern buried in a comment....
What will SMT's do other than change Steem into an Ethereum like platform with graphene tech.
My guess is that your meaning is that the network could become congested like Ethereum?
My reply would be that DPOS is to Light Speed as POW is to a four cylinder volkswagen.
Agreed, now what about on-boarding?
Well the main point being heard by me is that the present new account creation is not ready for mass adoption. That point is perfectly correct in my opinion, yet do we want mass adoption at this point; or ever for that matter? Allow me to explain....
In the present bear market there has been a marked drop off of active users. Before starting my #deletefacebook process, some of those on my own follow list were seen to be very active on FB, while having dropped off the map here on the STEEM blockchain. Such users could be catergorized as Reward Whores, in my opinion and good riddance to them!
One must also ask are we doing potential recruits, like maybe your Grampa, any favors to bring them to a platform where they are expected to be their own bank and provide their own security for it? No attempt to be an ageist, being someone who receives old age pension myself, yet they may not share my past career in IT.
Even AOL still has a user base. 😎
My feeling, after recently using SteemInvite.com, is that recruitment should be somewhat analog. That is, say a friend shows some interest in the STEEM Blockchain then you could create an account with some delegated SPs for them.
After all we are not meant to be a social media replacement for Facebook, but instead a blogging platform. So quality superceeds number of users in my opinion.
[Edit : Imagine automatic Adsense embedded delivery of the blockchain's content for un-logged in users.
Imagine sharing the revenue using the vested interest payments. ]
If someone is biting at the bit to either blog or start spamming then offer a quick and easy means to purchase an account, if such services do not already exist.
That is my take on on-boarding, keeping in mind that things have, and do, move slower for us old farts. 😎
@novacadian I think a private messenger would help. People use facebook to connect through messenger mostly.
3rd paragraph.. no, don't give a shit about grandpa or grandma, do you?.. I'm here to educate their grandchildren, the youth. I'm working on my mother @woolsocks - the a tech -tard, will self admit. My father too.. They grew up in the 60's.. and both of them still have @aol.com email - well, mother has an ic loud but she insists on the AOL... lol
I understand that steemit.com is not trying to be facebook, it a hybrid type twitter/reddit.. though, Appics is trying to be Instagram and they both live on Steem.
I saw that @ura-soul released a 20 minute video about the on boarding issue. I have not gotten to it yet but here is the link.

My only point, really, is that the STEEM Blockchain could have ongoing monitization easily. Just be neat to have that potential revenue distributed through stake interest payments in the same HF.
No offence to your Grandmother. ✌💛
Thanks for the link. Will try to get to it soon.
Watched. That was a great video @ura-soul
