@timcliff I was surprised to see my idea reflected by you in the important comments section. If it was not for @starkerz that told me about you and your contributions to the steemit community, and the steem panel discussion from @aggroed on Dec 9 that you spoke of different things that made me go to your blog again and search for the 2018 Community Roadmap you wrote, I would not have found your mention about me.

I am glad my idea is something many people as well as you think it is important, by speaking about signups in general, that is something really important for the blockchain to grow. Before posting this idea I thought there were separate sites to do this, and afterwards I discovered it was steeminvite, but I thought it is important to have it in the steemit front-end because it I see it as a great way to capture the attention or the explanation process for new people to get started on steemit.

Thinking in a loud voice I would say, ok, people, you and me can speak to family, friends, colleges about it, but having an email prepared, and all the structure with all posts that are linked from the email, all videos needed linked, are a huge marketing power, to get this new people receiving the invitation from a friend, to get to think about it, and that would like to read to learn about it. With this, people will get a message with double power.
The first power is that the message/invitation comes from a friend already using it, and the second power is that the message comes with information and links to more posts and videos to know everything about steem, steemit, cryptocurrency, steemit rewards, walle, and all important things that they need to know.

This is a huge list you have researched and detected, and this is a great work and job, to help steemit and developers get to know what the community wants, so this helps them see if their efforts are well focused, and take even better decisions for the benefit of all.

Thanks for all the collaboration you are doing and you have than for steemit, and for helping making it be as it is today. Thanks to people like you is that steemit has came this so far, and I am sure the end of the year has a lot more to show us, and 2018 will be a great year for the steem blockchain and steemit.

Looking forward to continue reading and learning from your future posts.
