Hi I'm a new steemit fan (investing in SP and becoming active  only in the last month after a false start of a couple of posts last autumn)  but I have to say it is ridiculously unintuitive and the amount of false (out of date) information is extradorinary. If we want the community to start to grow exponentially and to get beyond crypto fans, we HAVE TO MAKE IT EASIER. People like @JerryBanfield are doing a reasonable job. But even the video of his that I saw and that got me to join was VERY WRONG about some serious things. He subsequently corrected his own false information and a lot of other things that have quietly changed since the white paper was written but this is buried in a video that only Jerry Banfield followers saw when it should be easily accessible to anyone that comes to the website.

@ned it is UNACCEPTABLE that things like the interest rate on steem power is not black and white clear on the steemit website. The white paper hasn't been updated in ages. It is now just 2%. That's ok compared with a bank but not compared with what people say it is if you google articles or what even Jerry Banfield was saying a month or so ago (he has now put up a steemit post correcting this). 

It is also UNACCEPTABLE that the everyone is saying authors get 50% of the value and curators 50%. I think the ratio is now 75%/25%.

The website and white paper should have simple up to date information with:
 - Interest rate on steem power
 - What authors vs curators get for a post  and how this varies over the first 30 minutes and month
 -  What authors vs curators get for a level 1 question and answer and a level 2 question and answer and how it varies over 30 minutes and a month
- Role of the different keys and how to use just the posting key to avoid someone steeling your funds
 - where to check voting power and how long it takes to use your voting power at N votes per day
- How to quickly find a list of people with above x Steam power in their wallets.

If you don't make it easier, Reddit or another blog will simply add a blockchain voting system to what they do and steemit will never break into the mainstream.

Thanks
