How does this compare to steemit.com?

Steemit had a big ICO sale. Yours has a more traditional funding model.

I find Yours simple and easy to use apart from the friction of getting ahold of some Bitcoin Cash.

Yes! We have not done and ICO and don't intend to until we can do it the real way - by putting our company equity on the blockchain, allowing it to be traded globally p2p. That will require a lot of work legally for that to be possible. No rush - we'll do it when the time is right :)

Also, on the friction of Bitcoin Cash, note that we currently have a Shapeshift integration allowing you to cash in with any crypt, and will support credit card onboarding soon. We think most users won't even know they are using crypto :)

simple. I give a shit about yours.org BECAUSE they didn't create their own token to build a service.

Using bitcoin cash is another positive in my books, since it costs < $0.01 per transaction, versus $7~ per transaction on Bitcoin legacy.

In a post above they admit they will issue a token.

legacy lol --

a malleable tx cryptocurrency that cannot support Hash Time Lock Contracts safely (thus LN and proper microtx's) is the legacy...
