Hi, I’m the co-founder of @steemhunt. Thanks so much for your dedication in running this livestream continuously. Here are my suggestions that I hope Steemit inc can consider in their plan.

1. Steemit inc should announce the **SMT dev roadmap that clearly addresses step-by-step feature releases** so that the SMT candidates and investors can work on their own plans.
2. **Sunset of Steemit.com should be explained clearly** Instead of focusing on the cost reduction aspect, I think it’s important to look at the strategic benefits of the plan. Remember there are still so many users who consider Steem BC = Steemit.com.
3. **Usage of full node should be put in the market system.** Turnkey blockchain has been one of the most important benefits using Steem bc for dapp devs, so it’s not a good idea for all dapps to suddenly run full node by themselves. This can be applied to the witness system, or name the price to use the node (but this would need to be done carefully because there are currently no other blockchains that asks dev to pay for the API usage).
4. **Communication pressures should be shared by other Steemit inc departments.** Steemit inc should create a proper communication channel for each topic (dev, investor, PR/Marketing, exchange relations, etc.). Of course I don’t mean that you need to hire more people for this. The current 30% employees and some of the top witnesses can take these roles together. @ned and @birdinc should not be the only people that community members can approach with questions.
5. **Proof-of-Brain needs to be branded.** It’s time to stop connecting PoB with “money talk.” Steemhunt uses Steem BC because it is the ONLY blockchain that provides the turnkey PoB chain that can be utilised in so many creative ways to create a variety of platform businesses. However, many people in the crypto market still remember the money talk tagline due to the Steemit.com. Unfortunately, I was not able to see any branding strategy about PoB in the renewed steem.com website.
6. **I disagree with the Steemit-off week idea** because the core problem at this moment is not raising public attention. Investors and market players expect more a strategic roadmap that makes them use their money and resources. I’m sure that the “all-of-sudden-steemit-down week” will cause a negative impacts and more FUD.
7. **Steemit inc should address the principles about the usage of its dominant STEEM funds.** The dominant portion of the STEEM funds that Steemit inc owns have become a barrier for investors. Of course, a public audit may be too intense (and it’s not even a responsibility for a private company), but sharing a clearer principle that can explain how Steemeit inc uses the funds and makes profits will help give credibility to the investors.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about these suggestions and your plans for Stemmit’s future.
