Hi @ned, thanks for your transparency and I am sure it is a difficult time to go through. I have a few questions,

1) What is Steemit Inc's role in the future of the Steem platform/blockchain? I understand that Steemit Inc is the main developer for the Steem platform/blockchain. But is there something the community can do to help in terms of development of the underlying core platform?
2) What is Steemit Inc's main revenue source now and how is the company going to grow it?
3) With so many other Steem web interfaces already built, does it still make sense to keep Steemit.com? How much cost reduction can we get if we just shut it down?
4) If the key concerns here are revenue and cost, how is SMT going to help? I view completing SMT development more as a fulfilment of promise. You will gain trust but I don't see it having much of an impact on the bottomline of Steemit Inc.

Thanks!
