Well, I decided that below 50HBD requires little to no scrutiny. The truly awful proposals have no chance and for that price, even the alright ones are worth a shot.
After a couple days of thinking and considering, I am also voting for several more expensive proposals. But the more expensive it is, the more I consider it and the person behind it. Also, I do evaluate carefully mid proposal and if I feel it is too much or not enough is being done, I can remove my vote.
For example, blocktrades is asking for a staggering amount, but I realize, this is extremely important. It's a very rounded figure which is always suspicious, but blocktrades has put a hell of a lot into Hive and will probably make the expense well worth it.
I do think we should hire a few ladyboys for the next hivefest, we missed out on a good opportunity in Thailand, not sure about a Texas office or lawyers, tho.
The money is definitely there to spend, but I think if we establish better means for accountability and transparency it will be spent smarter and this will send a positive message to investors.
I agree with this, but I think this will require some trial and error, which is why I suspect you're hesitant to approve the higher cost proposals.
Right now I'm not afraid of making some mistakes to get things done. You gotta break a few omelettes to make some eggs.
