thanks! and honestly, it's not monetized in our favour, so if people don't like the concept, there's no requirement to use it and we're committed to hosting and developing it no matter what. It's a simple way to share the love and spread the crypto, and if you end up earning lots of tips because you're engaged, or want to take your money out because you're not, either way you can withdraw all your STEEM without fees.

Yeah I think this project's lack of greed is what's going to make it very popular. More developers need to take advantage of the zero friction transactions and pay it forward.
here's to hoping. Part of the reason we were able to do this is because we're now top 20 witnesses. We've not actually taken any of the rewards or powered up any profit yet, because of the amount of bills for servers and redundancies, community donations, and payments to devs we work with when we need a bigger team. I fully understand why other devs aren't able to do as much when STEEM prices aren't as high or they aren't earning producer rewards. It's nice to be able to pay yourself, and for some, very necessary.
I'm interested to see what will happen when we do for the first time; there's a belief all the witnesses in the top 20 are whales getting fat and rich doing nothing, but that's certainly not always the case. There's always stuff going on behind the scenes for many of these chain custodians, and some of us are still minnows who've just hustled to stay solvent and worked to high heaven (although I'm angling for new dolphin soon when we actually cross into the green this month... :D )
