RE: Some extra changes are being bundled into hf24 regarding the proposal system, we want your opinion on it

I agree, IMHO there is no sense in adding any more complex stuff like calculating the fee of a proposal. Higher fees will only discourage creating proposals.

Why should be a lesser amount or more expensive proposals better for HIVE?

Even if hundreds of proposals would be created on a daily basis - the good ones with community support will come to the surface. Front-ends can also be improved and make voting for proposals more convenient and easy.

I would suggest that we should care about more important stuff like governance. The current delay for voting on witness is just a patch not a real solution for what we have experienced before...

Yeah added complexity is always a cost. I'll concede that point. But I think it depends on the perspective. Let's put it like this:

• The proposal fee can be seen as a fee paid to the community to review and control the quality and delivery of a proposal.
• The larger a proposal is, both I'm size and duration, the more demanding and time consuming it will be to monitor and control it to ensure it delivers.
• Thus it makes sense for the community to demand a higher burn from a request that demands more of their time and effort.

If presented this way, and if the UI displays it elegantly as one enters the numbers in the proposal. Then I don't think it will turn people off that much.

Also, how many do we want to make 6-12 month proposals asking for 300-1000per day who don't already know the system well?

Frankly, I'd support strongly the fee for submitting a proposal to the community for approval or denial should be simply a percentage of the funds sought. Perhaps a very small anti-spam fee would be appropriate to prevent trolling.
