Of course we need to be honest with reality.
The reality I see is that Khal and Eric and their team are building bridges from Hive to lots of other tech and other potential builders, investors, etc.
I’d like to see 10 more teams that are similarly motivated and similarly trying new things. Economic growth is driven by entrepreneurial activity. Entrepreneurial activity is by definition mired in the depths of uncertainty. Most will fail, some will succeed. A rare few will succeed spectacularly. We need one or two of those rare few here on Hive. To get those rare few requires a wide net and lots of failures and modest successes along the way.
I have no complaints about that.
I said elsewhere, I'd love 100 leos, not 0 or 1. We need far more projects on Hive not less.
We need a new decision-making procedure for the DHF.
From Day 1 I’ve been dismayed by how centralized the Decentralized Hive Fund is.
Any time you have a “Yes” or “No” decision being made by a single group, no matter how large or small the group, that’s not decentralized decision making. DHF should be funded more like KickStarter, imho. Let everyone vote for the projects they want to see funded and once a project has enough support, it can move forward.
Obviously this has the potential for self-vote and circle-vote abuse, so anti-abuse protections would be needed.
One way to handle that would be to have each proposed project have an appointed overseer who is not a member of the project team, who is perhaps randomly assigned from a pool of approved candidates, who gets paid a percentage fee to financially oversee the project.
Or, projects get voted on first, then a competitive process is used to determine who gets paid to execute the project.
The solution is for more people to have stake.
i have been following this thread because i guess i "care" about where hive is going. if it is going to succeed, i want to be a part of that "opportunity" since i found it early.
you say the "solution" is for more people to have stake, but you actually aren't doing anything to support that. i read earlier where u said u dont upvote etc.
i 100% agree with what @trostparadox said:
i believe that's the solution. why harbouring funds to a select few?, why cant things be more varied. since no one actually knows where that successful project would come from.
after i saw your Hive analytics launch, i understood your "vibe", you want to build things "that actually work".
maybe if we have a few more random people doing those, Hive would be so much lively n colourful(innovative) after so many years. its crazy!.
but YOU (people who can) should provide the opportunities for that.
the world is hard, its hard af to build things, people are lazy, but among all those, great things "still" happen. i guess its actually a question of what matters the most to each of us.
It is not my job to give people stake.
I am not the CEO here.
hmn, perfectly understood. you aren't the CEO, n it isn't your job.
when i said harboring funds, i didn't actually mean u and your upvotes. i meant the DHF (as i see it)
Most people know I am very against most of the current dhf funding.
