It's a great idea, and I hope you can pull it off. Unfortunately I don't have the time or resources for such a project that size currently. However, I might be speaking about blockchain and Steemit to interested mainstream folks in my local community soon'ish, if all goes well, but I can't promise that.

Reach out to me, if there is something I can assist with, with regards to above project.

I am glad you like the project and the things we are trying to do with LFN! :D
