I'm not against handing out the cash per se but what I am aghast at is the absolute lack of any form of accountability or obvious checking on the recipients. Where are the receipts ? Imagine any business in the world simply handing out whatever is asked for to its employess to attend conferences or spend on promotion or even charitable causes. Its unthinkable.
I notice that @arlettemsalase barely posts and is also a business development manager for Bitfinix and ambassador for Criptocuriosa. If she's attending conferences funded by Hive, is she also there promoting her other interests too? The 'mother with three jobs' appears to be in Paris now according to her Twitter. Lets see an invoice for these wristbands!
As for Rally Care Photography/ Hive Film ? Seriously? $1700 USD. Where are all these Hive 'movies' we've heard about for the last couple of years? I've never seen or heard of them online anywhere.
Finally. How can users see old DHF proposals that have now expired, either ones that passed or not? Surely they should remain on the proposals list historically?
The very least the recipients of funding in whatever form should be made to do is post a weekly post showing the rest of the community how the funds are being used and the exact expenses. Its very odd how nothing seems to be returned and the budgets required are always exactly the right amount or too little, never too much!
Hive - The blockchain that prides itself on being censorship resistant and transparent!
Thank you and keep up the posts @blanchy
I feel like Ive been called. Film is Ghana project that I did post about it and entry to 20 film festivals all around the world as well as editing, trailers and so on :
Rally Car - I delivered job as per agreement ( 2 videos , 2 shorts )
I'm mostly focused on the Ghana documentary, however if and when I'm asked to do some ad-hoc editing an so on, I'm doing it.

Good morning :-)
I really don't think anyone is 'calling you out', it's the system that's being called into question. The transparency and lack of accountability as well as the ambiguous descriptions of what funds are being used for.
Personally, I love to see Hive being used to support small businesses, being used as a form of universal basic income and especially to see it being used to make a difference to people's lives, as per the water project.
Thanks for replying and sharing the video, it looks amazing and I hope it brings Hive some positive publicity and exposure and brings you sucess at the film festivals.
Best wishes :-)
Good points well made there @nathen007 . I knew a government official locally who went on "work " trips and he used to charge for the same hotel expenses from 2 government departments. The same expenses so interesting you should say that. Sometimes they government official wouldn't even stay the night but get a lift to and from the venue from another government official. They cancelled the bookings last minute and took the expense for the hotels, and the mileage as well. And then claimed back for everything twice. So this stuff is not beyond the realms of possibility and there is a hell of alot more oversight in government departments. The project managers will come back and say everything is accounted for with receipts but I'm not convinced. I would like to see these receipts.
