These nodes allow witnesses to get all blockchain data and let them catch up quicker. This means the more seed nodes there are the easier it is for new witnesses to get started and so witnesses who host a seed node have the network in mind when doing so.
[https://steemit.com/witness-category/@reggaemuffin/witness-update-starting-a-seed-node]

Some people are not aware of seed nodes. While witnesses act similar to miners on Bitcoin, they produce blocks and get paid; seeds act more like a Bitcoin full-node, they hold and distribute blocks across the network, allowing for fast synchronisation, and transaction propagation.
... Why should I run a seed if I don't get paid? - Running a seed helps the network. By running a seed, you show a deeper commitment to STEEM, some people such as @gtg only vote people with active seed nodes.

What is the Steem blockchain?
The Steem blockchain is the publicly accessible distributed database, which records all posts and votes, and distributes the rewards across the network. It is where all of the text content and voting data is stored, and it is where all of the reward calculations and payouts are performed.

How is Steem different from Bitcoin?
On a technical level, the two networks rely on the same model of a blockchain, but are built upon different technologies and codebase. Steem is based on a new state-of-the-art blockchain technology called Graphene, which uses "witnesses" instead of "miners" to produce blocks.
The "delegated proof of stake" model of using witnesses instead of miners allows for greater efficiency in block production. With BTC, 100% of the new coins that are created are allocated to block producers (miners). With the Steem blockchain, only 10% of the new coins are paid to block producers (witnesses). The other 90% of new STEEM coins are awarded to content producers, curators, and STEEM Power holders.
[https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_is_Steem_different_from_Bitcoin]
===
In the field of crypto-currencies, the unique properties of STEEM make it both “smart” and “social”compared to others, such as bitcoin and ether.
This stems from two new token features.
The first is a pool of tokens dedicated to incentivizing content creation and curation (called the “rewards pool”).
The second is a voting system that leverages the wisdom of the crowd to assess the value of content and distribute tokens to it.
These two unique properties when combined are referred to as Proof-of-Brain, which is an entendre based on Proof-of-Work4 , meant to emphasize the human work required to distribute tokens to community participants.
Proof-of-Brain positions STEEM as a tool for building perpetually growing communities, which encourage their members to add value to the community through the built in rewards structure.

Every day, a fixed amount of STEEM tokens are allocated to the network reward fund, commonly called the "reward pool."
These get distributed to authors and curators for posting and voting on content.

Different from PoW-only cryptocurrencies, tokens in Steem are generated at a fixed rate of one block every three seconds.
... The rate that new tokens are generated was set to 9.5% per year starting in December 2016, and decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks, or about 0.5% per year.
The inflation will continue decreasing at this rate until it reaches 0.95%, after a period of approximately 20.5 years.

Powering down - If you have STEEM Power, you can power down to turn it into liquid STEEM over a period of time. The system will transfer 1/13 of your STEEM Power to STEEM each week for about three months (13 weeks), starting 1 week from the time it is started. However, you will lose your influence in the network proportionally to how much is powered down, so think about it carefully. Power downs can be stopped at any time.

Users are able to commit their STEEM to a thirteen week vesting schedule, providing them with additional benefits within the platform.
STEEM that has been committed to a thirteen week vesting schedule is called Steem Power (SP).
SP balances are non-transferrable and non-divisible except via the automatically recurring conversion requests.
This means that SP cannot be easily traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.

STEEM Power (abbreviated SP) is a measurement of how much influence a user has in the Steem network. The more STEEM Power a user holds, the more they can influence the value of posts and comments. STEEM Power is less liquid. If a user wishes to “Power Down” SP, they will receive equal distributions of the STEEM weekly, over a 13 week period.

Steem Dollars (commonly abbreviated SBD) are liquid stable-value currency tokens designed to be pegged to $1 USD. Steem Dollars can be traded with STEEM, and transferred to other accounts for commerce or exchange. Steem Dollars may also be converted into STEEM in a process that takes 3.5 days. Steem Dollars can be used to buy things in marketplaces, such as PeerHub.com.

Will 1 Steem Dollar always be worth $1.00 USD?
The market value of a Steem Dollar is dictated by the supply and demand of the token. Therefore it is possible for 1 SBD to be worth more or less than 1 USD depending on market conditions. However, the network's SBD conversion feature serves as a mechanism to hold Steem Dollars within a small margin of the value of USD.

SBD is created out of inflation and then distributed to authors from the rewards pool. The inflation rate can be adjusted through hard forks as it has in the past. The inflation started off at 10% and will reduce by 0.5% each year. Which means the current inflation rate is 9.5%. Existing SBD is inflated to create fresh SBD which is distributed to authors and curators each day.

Bandwidth Rate Limiting for Fee-less Operations
Because the witnesses are paid entirely through the generation of new tokens, there is no need to charge users a fee for powering the blockchain. The only reason to charge a fee would be as a deterrent to prevent users from completing an unreasonable amount of transactions, which could potentially impact the performance of the blockchain.
In order to place reasonable limits on the system use, each user is given a limited bandwidth. Whenever users perform blockchain operations such as token transfers, posting content, and voting, it uses up a portion of their bandwidth. If a user exceeds their bandwidth allowance, they must wait to perform additional actions until their bandwidth recharges.
Bandwidth limits adjust based on network use, so users have a higher bandwidth allowance when the network usage is low. The amount of bandwidth that an account is allowed is directly proportional to the amount of Steem Power a user has, so users can always increase their bandwidth allowance by getting additional Steem Power.

Verification is a process where users give evidence to show that they are the person that they claim to be. This is to reduce fraud and people impersonating known figures. If you would like to remain anonymous, that is perfectly fine. However if you claim to be someone specific, the community may expect that you verify you are who you say you are.
There are a number of ways to do this. The most common way to verify your identity is by posting a link to your Steemit profile on a website or social media account which you are already known for having such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, a blog, or photography site.
Many users also like to post a photo or a video which shows them holding up a sheet of paper with the current date and their Steem account name handwritten on it. This is a great way to add a personal touch to verifying.

Witnesses are elected by the community to witness the production of blocks on the Steem network. In other words, they run and maintain nodes (servers) that generate the blocks containing all transactions (i.e. posts, upvotes, comments, transfers, etc.), which are added to the blockchain. Without witness nodes, there is no Steem blockchain. This Delegated Proof Of Stake (DPOS) system is based on trust, where the most trusted witnesses are likely to serve the network reliably.
Also, another important task is to publish a STEEM/USD price feed to the network, which is how STEEM Dollars (SBD) are pegged to 1 US Dollar in STEEM (using the 3.5 day exchange).

If curators vote for a post within the first 30 minutes of it being created, a portion of their curation reward is added to the author payout. This portion is linear to the age of the post between 0 and 30 minutes. Therefore upvoting at 15 minutes old will donate half of your potential curation reward to the author.

Will I get a 1099 from Steemit?
No, you are not being paid by Steemit. The Steem network rewards you. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you make. Further, it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. By creating an account, you agree that Steemit Inc is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Steem transactions or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes arising from any Steem transactions.

· Steem as a system provides additional advanced features to enhance the user experience, such as Stolen Account Recovery5, escrow services, user promoted content, a reputation system, and savings accounts.
This is all done while providing users with three second confirmation times and zero fees on all transactions.
All of this allows it to support the mission of bringing smart and social currency to publishers and community builders across the Internet.

· account-anonymity is a negative feature of Steem-net.
· Steem-net is a-blogging-net, not a-crypto-currency-net, containing INFORMATION on anything.
· information is a subjective entity, it is-related DIRECTLY with the-subject, the-entity that holds it, which entity in Steem-net case is the-account-owner.
· thus, anonymous information = multi-semantic or zero-semantic information.

· Steem-net contains info of great value or less.
· but there is no a-mechanism to relate this info except of simple tagging.
· valuable information, relatively quickly is lost.

I think that all the newbies when they come on the platform have to face a massive wall that they will not be able to transcend for an extended period thus the need for curation projects is enormous. Most minnows will only earn pennies even if they write quality stuff while their only chance for some decent rewards is either getting curated by @OCD or @curie or being somehow picked up by a whale but we can only help so few users.

self-voting::
Good Governance and Steem
Steem has excellent security on accounts, but very poor governance. The community reward pool is the preverbal wallet on the park bench. Those who are voting for themselves and hiding behind pseudo-anonymous accounts are thieves stealing from the community. Those censoring posts on EOS through use of down votes of posts that decline rewards are not held accountable to community standards of behavior.
With proper governance the Steem reward pool would not be pilfered for private gain. Achieving this requires much stronger transparency with identity verification and dispute resolution systems combined with incentive structures that disincentives self-voting (like n^2 curve).

=== 16th hard-fork:
How many new tokens are generated by the blockchain?
Starting with the network's 16th hard fork in December 2016, Steem began creating new tokens at a yearly inflation rate of 9.5%. The inflation rate decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks, or about 0.5% per year. The inflation will continue decreasing at this pace until the overall inflation rate reaches 0.95%. This will take about 20.5 years from the time hard fork 16 went into effect.

=== Steem-net official launch:
Where can I find the information for the official launch of the blockchain?
The original launch of Steem was on March 23, 2016, announced on Bitcointalk.org. There was a bug found in the original code though, and a majority of the stakeholders agreed that it would be easier to fix via a re-launch than a hardfork. The blockchain was reset and officially re-launched on March 24, 2016, via Bitcointalk.org.
