RE: GO TO NET COINS AND VOTE FOR STEEM!
I agree. I know I'm glad they put up that banner, and then as there was different information or a blog update they changed it. Worked great. They could easily do that for this.
I would think, if they wanted to, they could have a landing page when they needed to communicate something that would appear instead of your feed when you first signed in. And once you'd seen it, it would disappear, or get archived somewhere.
As it is, to see the steemitblog, you either have to be following it, hope someone resteems it, or just wander over and check it from time to time. Since they're not taking rewards, they might as well put it up somewhere everyone sees it. I would think that would be something they would want to do simply to diffuse all the complaints that come in about, "We didn't know that!"
People need to keep up to date, do something to get the information, but there would be no excuses if it ended up on a landing page.
Right now, Ned's got some kind of secret he's wanting to share and I wonder how many people know that. :)
A landing page is a great idea too. Hadn't thought of that. And what kind of secret are we talking? Or does no one have a clue? Do you think its good or bad news?
Well, I think he thinks it's good news.
The title of his post says:
I have a secret
And then the body says:
Initial Community Offering
Not Initial Coin Offering, but Community.
He didn't clarify in the comments, and most people said nothing about the community offering part. So I looked up the definition.
I'm not sure how that applies to STEEM, or if it's the only possible definition of an initial community offering, but it sounds like there might be a large entity of some kind that wants to use STEEM to divide debt or some other kind of instrument into.
