I am certainly all for this method of conducting promotion for projects and initiatives that deserve a little more light shining upon them. It is quite a unique proposition although we all understand the basic premise I am sure when we compare it to traditional marketing and advertising methods.

This however, has a mutually beneficial angle that is interesting to see and will be exciting to watch how it plays out.

Maybe this will bring a little more life to the platform. Maybe this will be a new method of developers reaching a wider, more diverse audience. As many people know I am no longer active on Steem and am spending the majority of time elsewhere, this was not an easy decision.

Steem was my very first blockchain, my first blog and a place I have had much fun and made many a friend over the last 2.5 years. I wanted it to be 'the one' maybe it can be again one day if the platform changes hands again and reasserts it's original values.

Either way I wish nothing but the very best to the amazing HOPE community from this project, it may yield fruits in many unexpected ways from many sources.
