Is it possible to release a scaled down version of SMTs? 

To be honest, I don't understand all of the intricacies of what was planned for SMTs. But for many months, I have  been involved in many conversations that ended with "we will be able to do that once we have SMTs". Most of the people engaged in these conversations had no idea about the intricacies either. All we knew is that there would be a token or tokens that could be used to build. 

We don't need the most high tech, intricate and advanced bricks. We just need bricks. 

I come from a generation where Lego bricks were simple squares and rectangles... and I still built some awesome stuff! 

Arm this community with some simple tools (a token) and we will build awesome stuff too.
