Well said. I hope the devs can see this as a positive communication attempt. Everything you mentioned is important for everyone putting in their blood sweat and tears on the promise of a huge move beyond Beta at some point.

When I joined steemit I had no free cash and was unemployed. Now I am working again, building my rainy day/emergency fund and looking to maybe move $200/month into Steem / Steem Power.

I am hesitent to do this if the site and this blockchain experiment are doomed to fail. And while I am confident at the moment ..... These small(and large) regular red flags do have me cautious and anxious.

@lukestokes Keep up the great work as a witness!! We appreciate it!!
