Seriously? Dao funds are used for what people vote for, primarily development that benefits the entire community. Charity is not charity if it enforced, even via democracy.
The proposals don't benefit everyone, for example two are related to building wallets, why do we need all more Dao funded wallets?
Yes, correct. Hence why I suggest having a large war-chest for it, to help provide funding for lots of different types of proposals. If we had small funding, I would not vote for any writing contests, as I would instead prioritize development costs. If, however, the funding was large enough, I would vote for other types of proposals, because they do in fact add value to our platform.
Options are never a bad thing. Hive is literally less than a week old, so obviously you're going to get lots of projects popping up in the same space. That's what happens in a new environment. Competition will result in one of these wallets being the best, or at the very least, the wallets catering to different niches ( ie one for newbies & one for power-users ). The more projects that get funded will result in a stronger ecosystem.
I'm honestly not even sure how to respond to this. Charity can in fact be charity if voted on through democracy. I'm confused as to your idea of "enforcement" when in context of the DAO, perhaps try to elaborate on this better?
The Dao is over-funded, continuing to over fund it will lead to projects with decreasing marginal utility. I'm gonna draw up some graphs to show this. Prudent care of a smaller pool will lead to more efficient projects, we don't need to encourage vanity here. Why not add more funds, billions of Hive? At some point you should be able to admit this would be ridiculous.
Hive is not a week old, it is a clone of Steem and is 4 years old. People can use the wallet they like, throwing more projects at the wall and hoping some sticks is not a good use of funds, capitalism and the free market enable funds are spent wisely, risk and reward. Dao funds should be used for basic infrastructure, not fancier wallets.
Charity is meant to give funds to those in need. Using Dao funds for charity is okay for the people who vote on it, I doubt it will be approved. If you want to give, consider upvoting or sending funds from your wallet to the charity of your choice.
