"There must be a good way to gamify this..." You provide some valid points, but it was this one that I could not agree more with. I have been promoting #Steemit from the very first day I joined and upped the ante a few months ago by not only getting out on the streets and handing out flyers but also funding and supporting others to do the same. "Gamifying" the signup has to be achievable. It just needs someone to think it through as to how it could be done to make it both an enjoyable experience for the new user signing up and the one out promoting. Happy to listen to any ideas. Thanks for the contribution to the Blog. I appreciate the idea. Stephen
