Once the SMTs were announced I immediately said this would be a great addition to a site like Minds.com. Well today in an e-mail I just received it was announced that Minds.com is going to have a crypto token!

They haven't given a ton of details on it but said that it will be in Q1 of 2018. Could it be an SMT or do you think they took the STEEM code and are going to launch a similar type system and integrate it into their platform?

It would make sense to use it because they can't build the system on Ethereum at this time. It isn't capable of enough transactions / second and that network is at capacity.

You can read my review of Minds.com from 5 months ago and I basically said that I would take the code from STEEM and integrate it into their system. That was before the SMTs were announced.

In that post from five months ago I said this.

In a comment conversation two months ago between @ned and myself I said how SMT would make a lot of sense for an existing platform with an existing community like Minds.com.

Am I an oracle by predicting that this should happen with Minds.com or was this an obvious outcome?

So @ned , can you provide any insight on whether Minds.com decided to build on the STEEM blockchain or to create their own system?
