GOLOS is a fork of Steemit and they have/had to pay license fees in order to be able to use their code

Just an example

You just want to fork Steemit , a simple clone of it couldn't get you any success.

DPOS + ICO 
perhaps I just going to be your supporter...

There is an unfortunate issue about this idea of yours. Steem is copyrighted: Copyright (c) 2017 Steemit, Inc., and contributors.

I really like steemit.com, e.g how it bring ctypocurrency into daily life and no TX fee for end users, but sadly it didn't have a good monetization method to support the economic system run long.

I am going to fund a Dev. team to fork Steem and make some changes, mainly is to add native ad support/ad system and bring in new reward system calculated by visitors, referrals and new signups.

It will be a POw+DPOS coin. After the main changes fully implemented, we maybe will start an ICO.

Guys how do you think about the idea? Any changes do you want? Or any suggests?

And we are recruiting new members that have coding/writing/marketing skills. PM me your proposal and Skype, i will get back to you asap. Thanks!
