It seems to me like partial funding for delegates is in order at this point and that Steem at a higher price could fund full coverage of some representative at these conferences. The product we have to offer isn’t there yet and I agree with Steemit Inc that the time isn’t ripe for an aggressive campaign. Right now, I could see devs who can leverage the potential of SMTs get the SPS grants more than any marketing move which is in and of itself hard to do in a decentralized environment.
