i have joined the steemgig discord channel thanks for the invite, its really good to hear that all these developments and more are in the works. i think steemit is going the in the right direction, its so sad that there are talks of a hardfork to split steem, that would mean a divided house and i hope whatever issues they are, dialogue would work things out, i hope that @elfspice can steemit inc could try to talok things over
