I also support all of these changes. The current situation is not sustainable and I'm amazed how Hive account@ned has allowed the ecosystem to deteriorate to this point while still having his employees talk about "proof-of-brain" with straight face.

This is #1 issue facing us, has been for a year, some of us saw this coming, others are blind or just happy with the short term profits that will kill this project as a whole.

What I would like to see is have all top witnesses gather and talk about this, perhaps we can put forward something without the need of Steemit Inc, leaving them to focus on SMT's if they so desire. We need to fix this ASAP.
