People have been waiting for years over a Year for SMT's. I'm glad to see the Steemit/STEEM team is finally giving them primary focus. I do not have good understanding of all of the backend issues that surrounded the creation of an effective token system, however it seems clear that you all feel the updates you have been working on for the past year were necessary.

I'm sure there are many others out there, like me, who have essentially given up on seeing any true progress from this platform. However in the back of my mind, there there is still a small piece of me holding on to a small string of hope.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
