Thanks for not naming me ,but I don't mind if people know I struggle w/ computers and technology. ;-)
I really wish I understood this stuff.
I kinda feel like my opinions will have no value.
But that has hardly ever stopped me before!
I found steemit.com thru youtube videos.get payed to post ,flagging for fun(not a fan of),and a few others.
I was having problems w/ fakebook,and joined,took 3 days.and my account was like $3.50 or so to start ,all free no out of pocket.
I was under the impression that the system was funded through some kind of consensus mining .
I have learned a little(very small little)but trying.
I have read and heard that witness is not mining. what is the difference, do not both get payed for processing blocks?

Be nice to crowd fund the world and change it!
I am trying to spread the word about steemit,and I have heard some of the to complicated ,didn't understand it.
I know I don't.
I want to change the world steemit is not big enough yet! and people are talking about growing pains...more witness 's ? idk? how do we get the processing power to compete w/ Fakebook,YouTube ,ect.?
IDK...how can I help!!??
always more Q.'s than A.'s ..
Thank You for all you do! wish I could make it to Boston! would love to talk to you!
Namaste! And like @gigafart commented at we need to get it into grandmas hands.and billions of people.
