I'm dissatisfied with the outcome of the discussion. Who is behind this account?
$20K is an arbitrary number and is still a very high threshold. Valueplan should be dissolved IMO as it is acting as the de-facto foundation that it claims to not exist. This poll was just one of the items that were veto'ed and I'm sure we will see similar results on future polls.
Also the DHF funding should gradually transition away from network issuance to being externally funded. This way there will be a clear source of accountability.
However, at the end of the day if the network fails due to this, the whales who voted for the proposals are the ones who will lose the most financially.
I setup the account to publish the results which were discussed. After summarizing the above outcomes, these were shared amongst the participants of the discussion.
About the meeting: General consensus is that people want the best for Hive and move forward. Other ideas coined were to make DHF self sustainable by having it make money and act more as a (low risk) VC fund of some sort. DHF itself imho is built on top of the Hive network, transitioning it would imho be only done as follow: bury DHF (have return proposal as most voted in / top proposal) and setup a Hive VC Fund solely for investing in Hive projects.
Re: arbitrary numbers: yes numbers are. And are up for discussion. But at least it is a hard limiting factor. Are you suggesting other numbers.
You say you are not happy with the outcome: what would you have loved to have seen as results?
The DHF may run as it is without inflows from network issuance. One thing I would change the system is the ability to vote against individual proposals which will do away with the less flexible return proposal that is expiring in 4 years and will cost $3,730 HBD to recreate today. Creating a VC fund (if it isn't just a VSC contract akin to Protocol Guild) means establishing a legal entity that has its own cost overhead to operate and is also a foundation which is bad idea.
Dissolution of valueplan would make these arbitrary numbers irrelevant anyway.
