Proof Of Brain is talked about a lot, so here are some great solutions to plug the holes in the steemit.com bucket of liabilities and turn them into assets instead.
Restructuring the entire company 
1 - Sell private access to stable RPC full nodes between 30 renters per box for 2X the full cost of the node or $69.95 per month for the users/businesses that use them, and This will provide STEEMI INC income on nodes they already have, and when filling up they will break even and go into positive costs were the node-business pays for the need of STEEMIT.com and much more.
2- For a while, Enable the beneficiary rewards at 1-3% for users of STEEMIT.COM the website, which would be between 411,000 SteemUnits and 1,2 Million SteemUnits per year and declining with lower inflation. 1-3% is OK but more than that would be too greedy.
3- Sell 1-ONE ad at top of steemit.com page for $20,000 or more per 24h period, you have time to do homework on this but an additional $7,3 Million a year to STEEMIT INC. or more. This is great liquidity paid in Dollars and will be very helpful no matter the price of STEEM or SBD.
#4- Sell Claimed Accounts and charge in CC/Paypal/DC/ in order to establish an account. Should cost $29.95 with a complete track and trace so there is proof of KYC and AML in the process.
That is a nice price for someone who has money, and we do want more people joining us that has money versus the broke people of the world who cannot even sustain themselves, and we cannot sustain them on the blockchain.
That is $30 Million extra money when Steemit INC has sold 1 million more accounts
#5 - Delegate your SteemPower between @Booster and other bots for liquid earnings every day, which will be profitable in the future as long as you delegate. @Booster share 100% of all Liquid Income with its delegators, has the most customers, best reputation and almost 2 years in service. Now better than ever. All you need to do is delegate SteemPower smf, and everything is automatic from there.
As you can see @Ned, there are many ways to make Steemit.com super profitable, I am just shining a light on these solutions for you in order to help you and your company. We are in the same boat, let's make this Regatta memorable in the best way possible!
DB Rocks! Steem On!
