Important updates on the Steem DAO and pausing STEEM sales for September

''We will not be selling any STEEM this month. We have continued to improve revenue generation through ads while lowering our expenses, but we are still a long ways from covering our operating costs 100%. That being said, we have put ourselves in a position where we can pause programmatic selling, as we are this month. ''

There is still a five minute timer.

Right, forgot to add that.
I've edited my previous post to include it, thanks!

HF21 is live and working after experiencing some issues yesterday!
Notable changes are changes to the reward system, now authors receive 50% of post rewards and curators receive 50% as well.

Steem is getting quite a bit of attention on mainstream new websites again, as they're reporting on the upcoming hardfork.
Most notable is an article on Yahoo Finance, where they talk about the new Steem Proposal System, which will give out funding to community-oriented projects.

Check out this article to see which articles have appeared about Steem recently:

As we explained in Part 2 of Our Plan to Onboard the Masses, we believe the future of blockchain is Communities and you've all probably noticed how “on-trend” the idea of “Community” has become. Every corporation, social media app, and blockchain project is eager to give lip service to their “amazing community” and talk about how they’re “all about community.” But Steem is the only blockchain ecosystem that puts our money where our mouth is. Literally.

If you read the entire article, you'll notice how they're comparing Steem to Ethereum's gas, once SMTs come out.
I'm kinda wondering what sort of effect that would have on the Steem price in the future.

Part 2 of Our Plan to Onboard the Masses

Quote

In our first post about our plan for onboarding the masses to the blockchain we explored, on a very high level, how we think about solving the problems that blockchain still faces, and the important role that both Communities and SMTs play in our proposed solutions. In today’s post we want to dive a bit deeper into one of these solutions: Communities.

When Communities launch on Steem, for the first time ever people will be able to create communities, on the internet, that they own. We think that’s a very big deal, and a value proposition that will excite community leaders all over the world.

https://steemit.com/communities/@steemitblog/part-2-of-our-plan-to-onboard-the-masses

Just some personal thoughts about this. I'm little bit wary when they mention that their plan to onboard the masses, would be mostly based on getting proper communities rolled out.
I seriously doubt that this is really going to attract the masses. Steemit Inc seems to have this notion of "If we build it, they will come", which is a little bit naive in my opinion.

Without some real serious marketing effort, I don't think they'll achieve their goals, they make no mention of that in their posts.

Steemit Inc. posted their retrospective for July a couple of days ago.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/steemit-retrospective-for-july

I'm glad that they started working on SMTs again, I really hope they'll finish it in time.
The last thing we need are more delays.

the last things we need is delays and so many spending by the team... nice to see they cut some spending like office renting,... but i don't see price recovering soon without any relevant news.

Yeah, that's completely true, the time-line doesn't look too great if I'm being honest.
Here's a graph of the progress:

Source: https://steemit.com/smt/@steemitblog/smt-burnup-rc-delegation-pools

They're somewhat on schedule, but I can't fully understand why it's taking that long to issue the release.
Especially when you consider that they've announced SMTs years ago!
