RE: Proposal to Grow the Hive Ecosystem With the Everything App and One-Click Onboarding

in LeoFinance10 months ago

I feel really strongly about DHF proposals and I write about the dodgy looking ones all the time through satirical posts that some of you may have read and thankfully not downvoted. The DHF proposals are an area of Hive that can be and are being exploited in this great community and I always asked the question. Why the likes of legitimate Dapps such as LeoFinance and Splinterlands never asked for a percentage of the DHF funds in beyond me because let's be honest, these two Dapps are pretty much the only two Dapps bringing in users. And if I was them I would be pretty shocked looking some of (not all) the proposals actually getting funded. So I am absolutely delighted that LeoFinance has entered the ring with a really well thought out project that will use the DHF funds to add value (not take it away) to our ecosystem. Leofinance are trying their bloody heart out to make their Dapp a success with their different projects so if anyone deserves any funds it is them and not Zuzu from Venezuela that sets up a Hive event in her back garden, or some accident prone fella WITH 0 HP claiming 100k HBD to do a beach gym season with a few Hive logos. I won't even mention how much was spent on the car. This should be what DHF proposals are all about. Traditional advertising does work. Tiktok does work. Claiming the traditional advertising such as influencers doesn't work is a lazy attitude. You chose the wrong one. Simples. The good ones are really good. It does work but you gotta be on top of it. The methods mentioned in the above posts are music to my ears. Well done @khaleelkazi and team for building Leo from the ground up. If this does not deserve the DHF proposal nothing does,. p.s if you do get the funds, get yourself a couple more of those comfortable hoodies you have on in your meetings. I promise I won't call you out over it. Well done @leofinance. Onwards and upwards.

Thank you so much for your vote physically and your vote of confidence @blanchy! It means a lot

You made some great points here and I really appreciate the praise from you. We've never wanted to be a net outflow for Hive which is why we never put a proposal up.

The standards that I wish for the DHF are certain conditional requirements like having:

  1. Clear and measurable goals
  2. Clear target dates
  3. Clear deliverables
  4. Not paying our team from DHF funds (paying from our own pocket instead)
  5. Not enriching ourselves from Community Funds (again, using DHF only for the purpose of our proposal)
  6. Delivering on our deliverables or giving the money back

These are things that I think are a necessary bar to meet for a proposal. I'm glad you see that we will live up to them. We're 76/100% of the way there and it's because of awesome supporters like you. Thank you 🙏🏽❤️
