As always great work @blanchy , I really appreciate your work. I also wish there is at least some links to the projects that been on going and some regular updates - see example of @mcsamm updates with his bore hole projects, or @krolestwo which BTW I think you missed out in the full list.
When we talk about petty amount maybe updates shouldn't be requested and as important but having this manner should start from first dollar you receieve from VP. Anything over certain amount of money should have their posts, regular updates! Lets look at this :
@abdul01 Ghana Ghana Tech Summit/ HTC 0 4,565.00 $4,565.00
How come there is not information to the community, not blog post or nothing really ( unless I don't see it ) Don't get me wrong, I've met Abdul in Ghana and he seems like very down to earth guy, but saying that rest of the community doesn't know that and everyone deserve some updates as well as I believe people would love to see something from that Ghana Tech Summit
When I was in Ghana similar amount went for event which was fully documented in pictures, videos and stuff and people can see it online that suppose to be with everything, unless we hiding something for some particular reason which as well should be explained.
Yes, if money is awarded,,, an obligation to show and tell about whatever the money was given for…seems pretty straight forward.
Value Plan shouldn’t need to chase these posts/reports
But if not given, it should mean automatically disqualified for any future money allocation.
We can debate over the efficacy of whatever project and whether hive sees real benefit, but most alarming is just money sent and no follow through after, but most alarming is just money sent and no follow through after, but most alarming is just money sent and no follow through after.
I guess I would like to think that anyone who received money would be proud to demonstrate what was accomplished for hive with the funds.
Andndnd yes, I’m aware that in many cases this documenting took place.
A very easy and effective way could be way A way A to have a specific tag used for any of these posts. So any hivian can easily find and read.
For me it’s all about spotting weaknesses/mistakes… acknowledging, learning and creating improved iterations moving forward.
Exactly when you use money from VP you suppose to be proud of it and show around what you achieve, posting things left, right and centre. The idea of tag system it would be pretty efficient to have it where community can follow the projects so as an example :
Project :
Community Wells - Tag : CummunityWellsVP
Hive Talk Project - Tag : HiveTalkProjectVP
Gym Street Workout - Tag : GymStreetWorkoutVP
With this there would be so much clarity.
When the guy is fixing his bike it would be nice to have :
Road Bike Racing - TAG : Post - RoadBikeRacingVP
Put at least some effort to say, what happened what competition he broke his bike, what place he had, show maybe some photos from the repair shop - I don't know but writing a post once a month it shouldn't be a big deal.
Whoever is taking any significant amount of money should be obligated give the updates to the community.
Taking 5k for project in Ghana which is equivalent of 5 years - 8 years of single labour worker in Ghana require some update, simple as that.
I like the idea of individual project tags as you say. Though I’d love to see 1 generic tag as well.
Like #vpfollowup or #vpacheived
Maybe #vpfundpost
1 tag to just go see all the good things happening.
It is not only him. There are many. I think there should be a stipulation to receive funding. The person funded needs to post about it. Like yourself. Otherwise the optics are not great. I don't think the likes of @hiro-hive for example who is probably after spending alot more from his own money to get to where he is going. He asks for very small amounts. I don't know the guy but he still posts about it. Anything over 1k maybe.
Totally agree that some model suppose to be created. You still didn't add krolestwo to the list is there any reason for that?
I thought he was in there . Let me double check
He is in now. He was in original draft but these Hive tables are a pain in the arse to build. You are out of the top 20 buddy. 😀
