Oh dang it, who is going to code it?

I have my calculator I can use on my desktop, if that helps? lol

the 'rough patch' (from a commercial viewpoint), is killing steemit.
No 'serious' investor would look at this place, and the shenanigans,and see it as a stable place to put money...
They would see it as an egotist's playground, nothing more. A childish playground.
An erratic environment.
Not a place to park $$$$$$'s

Would the coding be a difficult job? if it were to be changed?

I agree that I can not picture any business putting in money right now,

Oddly it never seems to matter when the markets are hot.

The coding isn't that hard, it is the process of getting it approved and dropped.

I'm sure it would require a hardfork. which requires someone to write the code. Then it has to be worked into a testing zone, approved and 19 witnesses controlled by the Freedom account have to agree to drop it.

I heard whaleshares made it harder or more expensive to flag... I wonder how that is going?
