We can think about it. The only problem I see is too much pressure. We want everything in the Kingdom to happen naturally. We promote Hive whether we have the funds or not. This month is an example. We no longer use funds from Value Plan, but we still hold “powered by Hive” events. We onboard people every week. I wouldn't want the pressure of returning funds to lead to a situation where we wait with onboarding for November, because then we'll have better statistics...
On the other hand, professional marketing should bring a much better result than 100 new users. We can talk about it on the planned live stream.
I understand your point. On the other hand, I believe we shall have certain accountability for all DHF proposals, with a possible exception of 100% charitative ones.
I percieve DHF projects as investments of a kind; and we as a community are basically business stakeholders trying to allocate the money the best possible manner. I also find a $23k proposal spanning over just 3 months rather bold, as it must deliver outcomes super-fast in order to ask for possible further support. Maybe a more elaborate plan, with a focus on onboarding activities and retention, could come in handy. This is what most of the community likely cares about more than about cultural and social events, with all due respect to them.
In fact, every cultural and social event in the Kingdom leads to onboarding. Because you can't be an active member of our community without a Hive account. So sooner or later people want to create an account. This is the best way, because people's activity is not related to the price of the token. How many Czechs are active authors now? 10 Czechs out of 10 million? (BTW, it is similar in Poland) I suspect it looked very different in 2018. Even if the infrastructure was much much worse.
What is my point? Blogging is dying. And it will get worse because of AI. Unless Hive finds new fields of usefulness it will get worse and worse. The Kingdom is a unique experiment where this is happening. We set onboarding goals, but they are not the most important. The most important thing is that people want and use Hive regularly (and naturally). And then we can make it into a story that will interest other people. Today, narrative matters. Especially in the crypto-world. Is the Kingdom an interesting story? Ask @phortun. Been there, seen that.
Marketing is a very complex subject. Without good (i.e. interesting) marketing, nothing will sell. Even if it is good. This is what we want to focus on. I believe that the fruits will appear sooner than we expect.
PS. Česko není daleko. Mohl bys nás někdy navštívit :)
Been there, seen that, loved it. Indeed :) KBK forever!
Not many, about 20 people post weekly, including Actifit reports.
I have no doubts about how interesting Kingdom is. My point was spreading of risk, if I may use this terminology. There are deliverables set. Twenty events - fair enough. But it's active users what counts, the event attendees who come and leave don't really matter from the DHF point of view. Do you use them to onboard newbies? Cool. Break a leg!
I see a proposal asking for support. Fair enough. What happens if the goals are not reached though? I believe they will be, fingers crossed. Still, there is a possibility something could go wrong. Perhaps refunding a portion of what the project recieves is fair. I guess I am not the only one thinking this way after the proposal clashes we experienced recently.
Therefore, as I wrote, we will think about it :)
BTW, I wrote ‘20 events powered by Hive’, but that doesn't mean that there will only be 20 events in the Kingdom during these three months. I suspect we'll have over 50, and not every event is ‘powered by Hive’. But every one leads to onboarding people.
Then you need just 2 newbies per each event to reach the goal ;)
