and we keep the blockchain as it is without any progress - nice
I believe that this is a subjective question.
Only future will tell - I'm not that optimistic
Amazing!
Maybe now people start to take this seriously and document and evaluate their proposals better!
Blocktrades has voted for others that are below the threshold, so it's not just up to him. People need to vote if they care.
I agree 100% but we all know how many HP is locked up in dead accounts today.. We will see if this move is not only good for drama but also helps the progress of Hive many are hoping to see by it..
There may be method to the madness, though ... over the past two years, Hive has put out about $2.5 million at least with no accountability to the community for results. This month, folks have been openly called out and showed how what they were paid for did not happen ...
Rather than open the can of worms of "downvote wars," why not just make it so voting on proposals could be done with a percentage of your voting power, rather than all or nothing? Like... blocktrades. They could vote with 10% of that stake (or whatever) instead of ALL.
If he would wanted to only vote one proposal out then he could easily create a new account, send over some of his stake and vote with this account instead. But the percentage is a great idea as well for making such moves simpler for sure!
No. It would make things worse. Small accounts would be too afraid to downvote proposals by whales because of retaliation.
Better to have the option than none
Disagree.
... but they kept going like they were going to get some more. Until today. There's a lot going on behind the scenes ... maybe this will be an opportunity for the community to get some real answers for how the money is spent, while they convince Blocktrades to let them back in...
I seriously hope that this situation can get solved by more transperency. I doubt it tbh and I can see a dark future for Hive if this hard development freeze will persist for longer time. The proposal system is not perfect and so are the projects but we need to go forward
Here is the challenge ... we cannot go forward well with an unaccounted rate of a million a year ... serious investors will run away. Blocktrades used to run an exchange, so he knows how the other half lives.
So: what everyone will have to do is to be as convincing as Ecency in order to be funded. ESSENTIALLY, every single Hiver counts now -- can't get past Blocktrades without broad support. Why does Ecency have that kind of support? Perhaps it should be studied...
Ecency can not be the guideline for every proposal bc not everyone is coding a frontend (fortunately) or has a long tradition and amazingly active community. This is an exception. The current situation will hurt Hive big time and you are happy with it as it seems
Because my mind has already gone to "how to move forward," do not assume too much. 62M is the bar that must be cleared. There is ONE model available. I do not assume that projects cannot clear that since there were others in the high 50s -- one of those may be a better model.
Now, other people can unvote the Return Proposal, and that would bring the bar down -- it is already moving a bit. Other than that, if anyone assumes they can't work the new situation, they're right. I happen to think that most of Hive's projects, some of which are close, can.
what would you want to downvote?
The return proposal for example
