"two of his posts where he posted a blank template"
Let me think.. who was that used to copy and paste his reports and get them heavily upvoted every 3 days? 🤔
Oh right, it was marky himself.. 👉
It's how the project gets supported. I never asked anyone to upvote.
Getting out a proposal and asking for my normal rates would be too expensive so I prefer working for free than for cheap. I'm also supposed to be already partially funded by GP's proposal but I turned down the funds since he needs them.
In almost a year I did 10 bucks a month (plus some donations to the chary project). So I'm coding for free and the upvotes on the weekly reports don't even cover my expenses. Good way to thank me and appreciate my work...
I periodically add new features (that I haven't blogged about yet), fix bugs and plenty of maintenance work.
The reports usually get voted by 100+ users and the big votes come from high rank witnesses. Marky is the only bully downvoting. His reason: "I like the service, I disagree with the rewards".
So he thinks devs should code for free and pay for their own expenses. Way to send devs away from Hive.
We should defo make witness votes expire.
