This will be a pretty quick update....
As part of the planned upgrades that I mentioned in a recent update, I have installed a new seed node:
IP: 54.234.249.242
Port: 2001
I will also be establishing a fund that will be used to hire one or more developers to produce an interface for fantasy sports that will be unique to Steem. My existing efforts have served as a proof of concept and been very successful. It is my hope that fantasy sports will become an avenue for growth, as we use that niche to market the platform to outsiders.
A formal announcement with a bit more substance will be forthcoming, keep an eye out. :)
