very nice and all that, allow me to make a second comment at the risk of being trolled since it seems i wasnt done talking yet

• i see people worried about the security, basically if you only use the master key once to jot the other keys down no one can do much even if they had them unless you keep a lot of liquid or seriously dont pay attention to a high value account for several days in a row
• if you want an example of how to interconnect without steemconnect or steemkeys you can check the game im working on - with no e.t.a. or promises made mind you
• and then : i hate getting into politics so i try to keep it short, if any idea fits someone can take it up and propagate it, i already mentioned removal of negative voteweight but
• as i am great O-ponent of one account per person i am a great PRO-ponent of one REGISTERED account per person - not mandatory, but- :
  you get one free account which costs steemit 15 sp in delegation until filled (plenty of ways to check up on this : an account that still has only the 15 sp in it after 300 days might get a warning and be un-delegated after that for instance, plenty of ways there) but one CAN has -lolcatspeak ys- as many accounts as one wants, which cant be a problem as you have to provide the steempower for those YOURSELF or youre left with like so many acounts with zero in it ... which makes zero difference to the whole as such and also has zero impact - but leaves a lot of room to implement different methods to work with
  however (and yes i do have multiple accounts and basically almost everyone i know has that - including the main witnesses and steemit itself for all i know) BUT - theres the point: witness votes - i say . if you CHOOSE to cast a witness vote you get only one per person, meaning you can have 30 different witnesses or whatever but not 10 accounts voting 30 times on witnesses each , SO

without interfering in the freedom of the market and creative use of resources , politics is a different thing - if you live in the states i think you need to register to vote as well for instance (not here, here you are obliged by law - if they didnt do that no one would show up as its all a scam on higher levels hahah hah haa) - so its VOLUNTARY (<== huge requirement if you want to pretend to be shin-sekai)
you choose to register one account that has the power to vote on witnesses and your precious laws and changes here , but you keep the rest working as is, that way you get a representative number, i havent checked , but about a year ago there were 1.1 million accounts (which is peanuts compared to the bigguns) - how do you get a representative number? thats hard, but if you have registered voters (allow me to stress : ONLY for witness and decision votes) you get at least a modicum of usable statistic, if it turns out 100 people are making your decisions your democracy aint working

and no shame in it either : its voluntary , you dont HAVE to give up anonimity unless you want decision rights, right ?
gud .... brings me to another thing which i might not have read correctly (i think im already doing overtime here for the pay involved...)
membership fees
bad idea , thats elitist and turns the place into a little club and you dont need arguments there, you can just look at FB and Google, the big ones got that big by a) giving it all away for free, b) ad money and c) instead of a trending section where alleged marketeers explain how its done by upvoting themselves you can have said super-salesmen work to bring in major brandname accounts who would be competing for steempower as for instance pepsi couldnt have having LESS sp than coca cola (to name just a simple potential situation) and the account itself is already revenue even before they put up ads

that said, i feel i said so much i said too much

as i seriously dont like getting into politics as i live in the bubble universe and am not really into classic networking (as are most of the people who developed the foundations we are all standing on today : they never did much handshake-day but they gave you and me everything we revolve around here now ....)

whew :)
