I think people ideologically like the concept of "doing it for free" and "volunteering" which are noble enough pursuits in isolation, but in reality when you're talking about something with long-term, thankless work where you're often put into adversarial positions with your own self-interest, it's just logical that people should and need to be compensated for that work. If they aren't, then it breeds resentment over time and leads to a system ripe for abuse.
So what's the best case scenario with the way things have been done previously? You have overworked people constantly being beaten down for nothing other than the privilege of serving and self martyrdom? Or maybe they quit and look after their own self interests which leaves you in a pickle trying to pick up where they left off. Or worst case scenario, they rob you blind either intentionally or through negligence and mismanagement.
While having the mandatory 3 person signatures may end up being a pain in the ass and it may lead to some or all of you quitting when you reach an impasse, I think it's an improvement to handing out money with no accountability. How absurd would it be if people had to make a proposal and convince the people invested in the chain that it is worthwhile to be spending money that is literally debt against their own token value.
Yep, real dangers. And since most work is based on their contributions they could take all that with them with no real replacement being possible.
Its the best thing I feel we can realistically do for now. You can always see grand ideas being presented in the heat of battle but that blows over fast. I just wanted this "sure thing" to happen because I knew it could. All these other grand ideas of having a foundation type thing, paid positions, (which i did try and push) theres simply no way will pass in my opinion.
People are rarely going to pay you for something on their own they hope you do for free and because you have a bit of skin in the game, they silently expect you do it for free and be happy about it. If you dont, you get shit on. You get shit on either way. haha
You could even say that time spent on Hive, loyalty, previous time invested essentially works against peoples personal interest.
It is, what it is. But I am definitely happy with this one change at least.
