Okay...so my general ignorance is showing. Right now, my technical level of knowledge allows for a crypto-funded/fundraised business model. As I understand the blockchain better, we would like to expand out into using it for more tools. I like the permanence and transparency of the blockchain, and am curious about this bookcrossing idea that you talk about. We do want to highlight authors who are using crypto, particularly on the steemit blockchain, but we won't limit ourselves strictly to blockchain technology.

I'm interested in finding out more about the other uses that you're talking about, specifically the bookcrossing and the blockchain-powered PoS and accounting. Any good links for someone who really doesn't understand the technology right now?
