I have received a comment regarding this project accusing me of trying to "scam" people. I just realized that this is probably a common misconception being that this is a new account. I (@riosparada) started this account in order to keep all funds separate. I have actually been a member of the community since July 2016. I started the @steemstock account in January 2017 in order to try and manage that project separately. I have now transferred ownership of steemstock to Steem Island Inc. in order to gain momentum on both projects as well as to get some help on steemstock - so it worked out perfect! I stopped working on the steemstock project because of some family problems I had including my dad's battle with cancer and his death. I am able to dedicate some time to both projects now and the crowdfunding is going better than expected! As soon as funding for round 1 is concluded, we can start taking votes on how to proceed.

Here is the latest crowdfunding post in case your interested
