Lot's of things regarding the initial promises of the foundation didn't pan out.
Remember the funding, remember the proposals?
When it all came together after months of work the first task asked was plans for meetups. ;) Like we needed a series of elections to create that.
I'm still a bit salty.. don't mind me.
I hope that shadowspub and bluefin can still find a way to make it useful but the plan that was pitched simply didn't happen.
What do you mean? I'm a little confused. Are you saying they were promised funding, wrote up a plan, and didn't get it? Please elaborate. Salty noted.
Yes, I am saying there was promised funding. Ned promised it on and off the air on several shows, in several chats. There was a huge project and 3 or 4 community elections. There are still people working on it.
After 4 elections and several plans, I resigned when the first task was "write up plans for Meet ups" to build trust. Why would that task require several community elections, appearances on talk shows and 10 or more community proposals.... It didn't.
There are others still on the committee and the funds for legalizing it did happen. However, it seemed like an endless set of hoops to jump through, a moving goal post and a complete disregard for people's time and effort.
That foundation was also discussed as a potential place for community projects to be discussed and handed to the SPS, delegations, and other funding issues that required community input and consensus. I have no idea what is happening with it all now.
I have a great respect for the others on the team and hope they can still turn it into something meaningful.
Yeah, wasn't it a 6 million donation in STEEM from Steemit to the foundation originally and then it became something way smaller?
Thx for the reminder, I almost forget that part of our history.
WTF!!! See, how they played us, again and again... I am rage quiting!!!
No need to rage quit, just accept data when it is presented.
I wondered what had happened to those alliance posts...that's a bit sad !!
You know my views on the chain of events from back in that "era", not to mention anything here that could get people going "off-topic".
You and I agreed on the nature of the events after some discussion. So to beat that horse that isn't dead, can only lead to that horse kicking us really hard.
Which no rational person would want.
;)
PS. No, you are not "salty", you say things as you see them, nothing wrong with that in my books.
Cheers.
It’s not over yet. Still just starting!
Yeah, as I said.. I hope it creates some value in the future.
