Hi John,

Yes, the thought of having some kind of funded "perpetual trust" has crossed my mind... HOWEVER:

Presently, pretty much all "disposable revenue" is allocated to survival... though Steemit and other cryptocurrencies offer some hope of an eventual change to that situation.

also:

I think of this sort of like the difference between leaving a few reams of paper in an attic vs. erecting a "Stonehenge" sized edifice. I view the Steemit blockchain as potentially being more like the latter, and any "government-legal-contractual" trust structure as more akin to the former.

Do I sound like I'm begging?

Yes, admittedly... But it's not just for me. The general consensus of "regular users" who have responded to my missives and become aware of this seem to support such a change.

And (though progress has been slow) I think the "peeps" have been implementing some level of what I'm asking for in the background, and that they will eventually complete it.

Perhaps more ideally, I shall be driven to study the problem, and ultimately learn how to figure out the details of implementing a tool to do this myself.

Of course,

then there are my darker moments when I think that perhaps I should instead be worrying about eradicating all traces of my thoughts from the worldwide web, so as to save my progeny embarrassment... :O
