Nah, my understanding of blockchain technology is actually pretty shallow. I only started getting interested more after I got burned trying to daytrade when Cryptsy was still operational. Then I decided short term speculation is not for me, however investing for long term requires a lot more insight. Later I also run into Bitcoin problems (f.e. one of my earliest wallets contains drops from various faucets of 18k satoshi that would require 15k satoshi in minimal fee to transfer - actual fees were 100 times bigger than minimal then :o) ). So I started looking if someone else had similar problems and if/how they might be addressed.
This tech is absolutely fascinating, I wish I had more time to dig into it to the point where I would be on par with developers so I could talk with them meaningfully. I know tossing ideas is easy as I was on both sides - the one that tosses ideas without doing any actual work and the one that has to catch them, refine, test and then implement. So in my post I was only expressing concerns and expectations from user perspective, especially that Steem differs so much from other coins.
