Thank you Steemit Team for all the great improvements that you have delivered the last months.
Are we ready to leave Beta stage???
Well, I hope that your Team is eager and encouraged enough to see the potential of changing the reward pool mechanism.
This is IMO the biggest and most lucrative chance to bring real change, faireness and growth back to Steem. There are many proposals in this regard, but my idea is that Steemit.com needs to get seperated from the main Steem reward pool.
Steemit.com should consider for the health of the whole Steem ecosystem to become its own SMT project and community within the Steem ecosystem.
The growth of Steem is with all its Dapps, communities and projects that are developed by our brilliant users. Therefore the Steem reward pool and the Proof of Brain mechanism should be used to discover, support and develop those Dapps and communities.
Its still hard for me to imagine a successful Steem ecosystem where all users are using different dapps, but if they want to mine the underlying infrastructure coin Steem, than they need to come back to Steemit.com and start blogging.
This is IMO not sustainable...I hope you guys have any ideas or suggestions for this conflict of interest in the future.
But these are just my thoughts and I'm not a developer and have no clue how difficult this is.
Anyways, I would be happy to hear your thoughts about this topic?

I don't think its necessary to make steem only blogging when you could just make BLOG coin or whatever. Steem is about much more than blogging, its infrastructure. I would be interested in hearing more about how you came to that conclusion though!
Sorry, you got me completely wrong. I never said to make Steem Blogging only...lol!
I'm saying that the Steem Reward Pool needs to get separated from the Steemit.com Site so that the Steem Rewards are not only tied up to Blogging on Steemit.com.
Like you said Steem is much more than just Steemit.com and Blogging, but the "mining" thru Proof-of-Brain only happens on Steemit.com and that needs to change.
When Steemit.com becomes its own community and gets its own Token than you can call it "Blog Coin" I don't care, but in that way the whole Steem Ecosystem becomes more free in the ways it distributes the Steem rewards.
Steemit.com is not the only frontend where content is created ... it was the first of the frontends but not all. Proof-of-Brain happens on any of the content creation frontends.
dtube, appics, steempeak, steeve, esteem, partiko etc

Yes, there are many other frontends where you can excess and create the content, but still the POB mechanism is the one thing that upsets users here the most. Its not working because it can be gamed with Bots, alt accounts, circle jerking etc...and this problem is present on all other frontend as well. What I'm suggesting is to seperate the POB mechanism from the content creation process. Steem should be seen and used as infrastrucutre Coin. The reward pool should go only to SP holders, Voting is only for Witnesses and Dapps/ Communities to allocate Steem to the Administrator of the dapps and communities.
The POB mechanism for content creation should happen on the level of the individual Dapps and communities, because when we have SMT those Dapps and communities can set rules and ban bots etc...
To sum it up I would love to see Steem more as an infrastructure Token rather than get abused thru direct content creation.

I second this.
