RE: Minnowbooster : The Only Promotion Bot Running its Own Infrastructure!
The problem is that you can't provide a free application if you have to pay such a node, so the solutions would be:
- Making a app that costs something
- Or be a high enough witness to pay it, but this would mean that all Witnesses would only or at least majoratly be apps Or other services

as suggested in the livestream, idea would be to focus on "fixing" the software as to so that running full nodes would not have such high RAM requirements, drastically lowering node expenditures. IMHO this is truly a way forward. With bitshares there is a "node selection" setting based on latency. This could be a way forward as more nodes become available and there would be a static "discovery file" for those nodes (hosted on github) which could be integrated in third party apps or proxies. In Steemit.com / settings one could manually pick a node, or get the node with lowest latency automatically connected.

good one - sounds feasible and a realistic outlook
I mean early on you can rely on small free nodes which for example witnesses or steemit inc could make available. But as soon as you move bigger amounts of data you would be forced to switch (Like it is with any other system as well). On other blockchains you have to send gas or crypto with every action you do on the chain.
I agree, the problem would then be how you decide if a project is now to big.
For the seconde point, isn't it the selling argument for Steem: Free and Fast Transactions

Yes, but not unlimited free and fast transactions.
