I created the account a couple weeks ago, the keys are yet to be "burned". I mean, no one should send it anything they don't already want gone forever, it's just that instead of just sending it to @null and removing the hive from circulation, this would power it up instead and keep earning from those hive forever. The HP is still proven that no one will be able to access it ever and on top of it it continues to grow alongside everyone else that remains powered up. Imagine like 3-5 years from now if a lot of stakeholders and projects like the idea and have either sent it some hive they wanted to donate/given it beneficiaries from post rewards or delegated to it, it could become an account with hundreds of thousands of HP that will never be unstaked while it continues to compete for curation rewards among everyone else and hopefully does something good with its votes.
So there's not much "trying out", the only reason I'm asking this now is cause some times we do find ourselves with higher than expected voting power, since all of our votes are cast manual and often depends on influx of new users, quality/effort behind the posts that week, etc, so instead of just voting up hbd.funder comments like many other stakeholders already do, we could start directing some rewards towards an account like this that will work in a different way.
That makes sense, I was just curious. I know a lot of times people have good ideas on paper, but when they put them into practice they kind of blow up. I'm not saying you would do that, but it happens to the best of us. I know there has been some concern about the projects that the HBD Fund are supporting and the lack of oversight or disproportionate funds that some projects get in relation to the amount of work put in. It will be interesting to see how other people feel about it.
Yeah I get that and honestly I somewhat agree with some of the funded proposals, feels a bit "least effort" for "high pay". This would mainly use the rewardpool at random intervals and in the future rely on profits posh and other projects would send it to burn hive in exchange for the rewardpool having helped get them going in the first place.
I think it is an interesting idea. I do like how it keeps funds on chain and benefiting new users.
