Out of curiosity - how would someone go about helping mine the Steem blockchain. I know currently for Bitcoin isn't worth it for the average person. Plus I hope something in the future can be done to stabilize the network - as Steemit is going to grow faster than anyone can anticipate. Take a look at the DTube post from the other day.

You can't really - or at least, not directly. To mine Steem you need to be elected as a [Witness](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Steem_Witness), which takes a lot of work. You can vote for people in the Steemit community that you think are up to the task!

The Steem blockchain doesn't use mining (Proof of Work). It uses Delegated-Proof-of-Stake, where the witnesses produce the blocks. You can read more about it in the [bluepaper](https://steem.io/steem-bluepaper.pdf).
