Hi Lucy are you in India? I hope everything is going well with your family. We have a programmer who lives in Gujarat and the weather is 34C. We have been lucky where I am in Canada at most 32C.
I hope you liked the background ... I don't know where that is in Malta compared to where you live. Are you permanently in India (should I change the background to reflect the area you are in) or shall I keep it the same.
One of the aspects of steemhost, is that we can turn on a contributor page. I includes the streams from people you follow, are friends, or write in a specific area that you are in. Your commentary on the legal aspects of cryptocurrencies is a deviation from your regular posts but might be of interest to some people. Perhaps if there are other people who post on legal issues, they could be added as contributors. If you are interested, just send me the steem ids and I will add them for you.
An example of a contributors page is this by Jose: Mis Amigos

I recognise that you have duties elsewhere ... business and family but it is very nice to see you posting again...

Hi David, I live in Malta so the background is good :) I do have family in India, I believe it is very hot there right now. It was a hot day in Malta as well. I don't think it was quite as hot as 32 degrees though :D I need to spend more money exploring steemhost to make the most it has to offer :)
I mentioned India because you have that on your steemit profile. Steemhost is just twisted enough to reflect the mind that it came from. Who ever that is must be very clever and an impeccable sense of humour.
When I created the working document that I submitted to my design team, I titled it Project Cerberus to reflect it was a dog with three mouths to feed. It was initially a simple idea of selling advertising space to appear on a website.
1 - The first layer of complexity revolves around the idea of feeding the three heads. Facebook is a dog with a greedy mouth ... it keeps all the earnings from advertising for its own use. At least Youtube shares some of the advertising revenue with the second head ... the people who create content and place it on their site. Steemhost treats the third head (the visitors) the same as the content providers and itself. Each share in 1/3 of the revenue.
2 - The second layer of complexity is that steemhost absorbs steem like a sponge. Advertisements are paid for in steem. Rewards are sent out in the form of steem delegation. Since the beneficiaries do not receive steem, they are encouraged to continue to write good content. The fact that they are not paid in steem or steem dollars means that the they cannot spend the currency which would have a downward pressure on its price.
3 - In addition to having advertising rewards, once the steem power of @steemhost01 reaches a certain level, its votes will become valuable. At less than 40 sp, its vote is effectively 0. I have already started adding hosts to the autovoting routine so they will receive additional earnings based on the authoring/curation process.
4 - The next level that is slated to run is to take the steem dollars generated by the curation in step 3 and distribute it. I believe that it would be similar to a dividend (in concept). Before I do this step, I need to come up with a mechanism which will cause the least harm for the participants.
What type of law do you practice? In Canada once cryptocurrencies are transferred to the real world, they are treated as capital gains (less than 10 percent tax). Also I have a couple of companies here in Canada so I can mitigate my personal exposure by declaring it as income in those entities.
I know nothing about the tax implications in other countries. Steem power delegation shouldn't be taxable because it is similar to water. Letting you irrigate your garden with my water should not be a taxable benefit ... but when your carrots are grown ... they will attract tax men or rabbits. However if I pay you steem dollars as a dividend or as a paycheque it would need to be declared (?).
This is all premature since @steemhost01 has only earned 0.076 steem dollars in a month but potentially in a year ... it could be double that.

That's interesting. From my view it shows that I am in Europe. I wonder where it got the idea that I am in India :D
Sorry for the confusion ... the originating post was in India.
