I'm just voting everything that costs under 50sbd
Any reason as to why? Right now we need blockchain devs, we need testing, and we need some expensive things that the huge powerdowns of stinc used to pay for. I think that as a community, we can get it at a much more reasonable price since we're not paying for an office in Texas, @ned's alleged ladyboy habit, and most likely a team of lawyers, but IMO the money is there to spend, and we need certain things, so why not spend it?
Well, I decided that below 50HBD requires little to no scrutiny. The truly awful proposals have no chance and for that price, even the alright ones are worth a shot.
After a couple days of thinking and considering, I am also voting for several more expensive proposals. But the more expensive it is, the more I consider it and the person behind it. Also, I do evaluate carefully mid proposal and if I feel it is too much or not enough is being done, I can remove my vote.
For example, blocktrades is asking for a staggering amount, but I realize, this is extremely important. It's a very rounded figure which is always suspicious, but blocktrades has put a hell of a lot into Hive and will probably make the expense well worth it.
I do think we should hire a few ladyboys for the next hivefest, we missed out on a good opportunity in Thailand, not sure about a Texas office or lawyers, tho.
The money is definitely there to spend, but I think if we establish better means for accountability and transparency it will be spent smarter and this will send a positive message to investors.
I agree with this, but I think this will require some trial and error, which is why I suspect you're hesitant to approve the higher cost proposals.
Right now I'm not afraid of making some mistakes to get things done. You gotta break a few omelettes to make some eggs.
