@ackza and @barrydutton have excellent points, I hope you'll address them in earnest.
I decided to invest a few Steems, in case this goes anywhere.
AS someone mentioned, life rewards Risk Takers (Though, of course, it should be a reasonable risk. My limbic system decided to invest before I thought it through entirely, and I now think the best idea would have been to see if the SteemPower could be relocated to one of the most trustworthy members, like papa-pepper).
Ah well, what's done is done.
Let's see how this turns out.
@pbock, did you see your username on the latest list of Officers twice?
My audit did. There were a lot of irregularities in the list considering the contributions. I have therefore disputed the list. In fact, @barrydutton is on the list of Phase 1 contributors, but my audit found nothing from him. I'd appreciate you looking into it with me.
Audit #1 of @steemislandinc Steem Island: Disputed List of Officers and Bean Counting
I did notice that, and thanks for your audit. Can't have irregularities if it's going into a corp of some kind.
Apparently some Steemians received a "honorary share" for their contribution to @steemstock, even though nowhere was it indicated that that was possible in the rules.
