All his own money.
The one person who is actually building all these bridges that benefit HIVE gets zero funding from the DHF.
Insane.
Follow up question:
You know how we see all those 'partnerships' being made on the hiveblocks Twitter account?
Is an individual being paid from the DHF to do this work?
I'd like to see some transparency around this.

I had a general thought about financing Hive today. It's potentially controversial, and would need to go through the proposal system and need some development. This might be a bit long to explain, but bear with me....
I'm thinking a community could be created for advertising. Members could post advertising their business, products, whatever. In the case of Ececny, they could use Ecency tokens to promote it to get to a wider audience, or possibly even commit a little bit of HIVE/LEO/whatever. If people like the product or service, or even just find the ad aesthetically attractive, they could upvote it.
All of the revenue would go to HIVE, either to fund development or contribute to the HBD stabiliser. So there'd need to be some development to make a mechanism which automatically fed the revenue through to Hive (just to prevent any funny business and provide transparency !) There would also probably need to be some work to give the ads some visibility while not overwhelming the place with them. I guess I'm thinking it should be more like Brave than Google.
From my perspective as the owner of a small e-commerce business, I would far rather put advertising budget into Hive than give it to Google or Facebook, as long as there was some kind of return on the investment. It would be nice if advertising became more of a community discussion inviting comment rather than a megaphone !
Thanks for sharing.
Copy/paste this one and save it somewhere for later.
Don't let it just get lost in this daily blog.

Done ! I might try and turn it into an actual post, although needs a bit more structure than the stream of thought reply above !
Actually we don't know who is doing what BTS. There are so many things happening and we get to see the results 😝
Also, what is actually happening in those partnerships. Do we have an update on the previous ones? There are so many questions to be answered.
