If we do implement SPS, might I make a suggestion? Let's allow multiple users to contribute funds to a proposal. Something crowdfunding oriented, you know? That way, a couple thousand Plankton could contribute 0.1 Steem, and it would add up. Probably won't be as much as a whale dropping 1k, but it would give Plankton the perception that they can help contribute towards something greater.

That will already be supported. Users will be able to transfer SBD to the account and it will be added to the fund. There are also some discussions on trying to make beneficiaries work as well, so users can set the beneficiary of a post as the SPS account and have the rewards go there.
I think the suggestion above was somewhat different. It was to allow funds to be donated to a specific proposal. The amount that would need to come from the common pool would then be reduced (and this in turn might increase its chances of being approved). This actually makes a lot of sense to me but is not in the first version of SPS. It could be added later.
Yeah, that's more what I was getting at. The added bonus to such a proposal would be that people who donate would have a sense of ownership in the projects they support. Even if it's a pittance, it's still a contribution.
Thanks for the clarification. Agree, that would be a nice thing to consider for a future version.
Smooth added some additional clarification in response to my thread on this comment.
