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.
