WHY WE THREW OUR HAT IN THE RING
We had wanted to work on the project back when the other proposal was made many many months ago but told it wasn't worth it because it was nearing the finish line anyway. So we decided on different things for peakd/ peak.open team to work on.
Then we saw what we thought was almost an invitation in Matt's proposal (based on what he wrote) and so we sparked our interest again. (Considering our hive wallet proposal isn't presently funded) We knew we could employ our whole staff and hire full time some of our part time people and save the DAO 140k+
Our proposal focuses on an audit to assess where the software is at and get a list of all the expectations first for free ... then start if we are 100% certain.
IF MATT ISN'T INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH ANYONE ELSE
However not if Splinterlands team really only wants to pay their CTO to do it if there isn't interest by them in anyone else then what's really the point. We don't have interest in working on it if Matt isn't interested.
BUT... i'm personally so so curious what happens if both proposals pass and maybe it brings out great conversation and my personal hope for the DAO is they lower their cost.
WHAT WE'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO DO
While i have no concerns that we could do the splinterlands proposal project and save DAO money I think @peak.open has been making awesome stuff for hive these last couple years. Completing (and upkeeping) tons of projects.
Our team Would love for our Hive proposal to decentralize our dependence on a one wallet system and work on the metamask and peak vault wallets (which are already functional) and the sdk that makes it easy for all hive sites to integrate all wallets (keychain, peak vaul, metamask) into their site with a click of a button. Also maybe that proposal saves Hive some money as competition may cause more competitive requests in other Hive proposal since we would have most of the wallet features done in the first year of the proposal since the wallets themselves are already functional. And we wouldn't keep having huge proposals year after year but would keep upgrading and maintaining and keep creating new cool tools.
So yeah would love some support from matt or you and others on that one.
I had no idea about your 'new' hive proposal. I thought you guys have multiple funded proposals....
nope our focus for the year was a couple small projects, upkeep and then focus one year on wallet stuff (then move on... not milk it forever) because we could do most of our work easily in one year (specially considering the foundation is already done and it's already two working wallets that can process hive transactions for UIs)
So either that one gets funded or we propose something else for Hive community i guess.
I voted for it.
