Hi @yabapmatt,
I'm Jose, senior analyst at AmaZix (https://www.amazix.com/ // https://www.linkedin.com/in/ze-macedo-15b1b175/). I was referred to you by @jga, I'm working on a forum project based on the Steem blockchain and have benefitted and learned a lot from your posts about how you built Steemmonsters - very cool project btw. We're looking to do a similar implementation using soft consensus and I'd love to talk to you about it and get your feedback/advice if you've got some time. Do you have an e-mail or Telegram you can be contacted on?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jose
