Steemit Inc MD Elizabeth Powell has given an exclusive interview about the partnership with Tron.

Also in this edition there is news and updates about Splinterlands, OpenSeed, Tavern Games, Holybread, Rada Quest TCG, SteemKnights, and @votovzla's free guide to Steem.

And there are more additions to the Diary Dates section as well as regular updates on the Steem Foundation and the Steem Proposal System, another Featured Contest, and an expanded Community Watch with new communities to check out.



Steemit Inc Managing Director Elizabeth Powell has given an exclusive first interview to CoinTelegraph about the recent partnership with Tron.

In the interview @elipowell expresses enthusiasm for the partnership saying it is "incredibly exciting" and she "expects Tron to provide the resources needed to grow the Steemit ecosystem".

Eli went on to say...

“We’ve been in a holding pattern due to a financial lack of resources. We’ve always had roadmaps but we couldn’t execute them. But just last week, Steemit was able to launch its new communities feature, which allows users to take advantage of community features similar to those on Reddit. We’ve been working on this feature for three years. This just shows how fast Justin Sun has worked to help us launch communities.”

On the subject of the Soft Fork, Steemit Inc's MD said...

I understand that Steemit has held the power for so long and that the soft fork was a reaction that came too soon.

She wrapped up the interview by mentioning that the planned Town Hall meeting due to take place on 6 March between Justin Sun and the top 50 witnesses will likely take place on DLive which is now owned by Tron as well...
