Seems that Ned wants his scaled-down company to do it all...since they continue to deliver in such a stellar manner.

Upvoted, a real example of using reasoning and not wishful thinking.

Ah right, thanks for the link.

Well I hope this doesn't put other people off offering to to help, I thought this one might be a goer :/

that issue is at least a year old, and no one stops them to develop it and have a PR.
Like everybody else.

They'd like to get paid for that work.
Like everybody else.

Steemit burnt millions failing this far. Nobody is gonna do free work for them now, when compensation in turn is unlikely at this point. Developers of this caliber charge significant consulting rates. Ned had a bunch on staff, which is ordinarily cheaper than consultants. By a magnitudinal scale, but he fucked that all up, and nobody is going to do his homework for him now for free. He still has millions - he better hire somebody that can fix his fuckups, because most of the people who would have contributed for free, left last year or the year before, after witnessing the centralized incompetence.

To be honest, Blocktrades should develop it and release it at a public repo.

That’d decentralization.

Looks like Steemit Inc listened to my advice 🙃 I was one of the few telling them a no thanks to the expensive BT deal.

That advice came out of nowhere.
They should do it like everybody else, PR and have the consensus decide, what is best.
At least, they could still vote against SMTs, if they are not happy with the current solution, but they didn't do it in the past, so I doubt they will do it

Yes I saw you were not keen.

Only Steemit Inc can accurately assess the offer against doing it themselves - let's hope the right decision was made.
