Steem isn't mineable, but it's hosted via ipfs on a blockchain. Mineable is a bit of a relative term, depending on who you're talking to about it. How are transactions verified and posts maintained and not altered? How is this chain maintained?
I'd love to host a node, but I don't see much info in terms of how to actually do it. Is it POS, is there any payment you get for running a node?
I would like to know about this myself. I have 3 machines running and mining right now. I want to dedicate one of them to steemit!

I wish there were some better details on it as well as some monetary benefit for people to run an IPFS node. Without a little bit of money, it's tough to get people to burn out a computer faster. I've got a pretty fast PC, but would like to at least disperse the cost of running a node on it. We do things out of the kindness of our hearts, but that's not a business model, that's pan handling
. Is anyone else looking at how to resolve this problem?

So it is called a witness on this blockchain and i find it troubling that this answer wasn't come to earlier. I did enough searching to run across it on YouTube of all places. Likely because current witnesses have to do a TON of work to get enough votes to get on top. They probably don't want the competition. Either way, you need to put a lot of time in as an expert/SME to get the required votes to make it to the top of the Witness list.
