Mulling over the possibility of using some blockchain technology for a VR/AR project that I've been working on for about a year.
My project has some elements that make it a little like an image stock library. I read this article and it got me thinking:

How might this work? If using Bitshares then my first thoughts were UIA for shareholders and separate UIA for users that can be bought with BitUSD. It's been so long since I've looked at Bitshares I'm not even sure if what I'm suggesting is possible (i.e. buying UIA tokens/shares with BitUSD).
If I wanted to do something along these lines and partner with a number of content producers which platform, STEEM or Bitshares, would seem like the best fit to mirror what Stocksy have done? How might things change if I want to add end-users with a virtual currency to the mix.
I've barely paid attention to STEEM apart from swapping some of my BTS holdings for some STEEM. It appears to be getting a lot of traction at the moment. I read a post from Dan about it being a bit of a Trojan horse for other applications that could run on the Steem blockchain. So I'm confused as to whether I should be looking towards STEEM as a platform for my project instead of Bitshares. Certainly looks to be rocketing up at the moment.
Oh, and despite quite a long break from posting here, I was wondering, considering I'm not a complete noob, if someone could please send me an invite to Steemit?
I've been trying to register for the last few days since I've been thinking about using it as platform to document my project rather than setting up a separate blog.
