You're at 35K, seriously not that far at all. Good luck achieving your goal.

I'm 100% sold on the fact that we need a robust core community of devs (and I think we already have that), now we need to move a part of these efforts & funding to marketing & token appreciation mechanisms.

IMHO, I would be more than happy to fund a proposal to help leaders like @nathanmars to keep spreading the word outside of HIVE.

If we stay in our echo chamber we have nothing to do.
We need to show twitter & the world why they need the Hive blockchain.

Have a good day.
