I'm not sure TBH - but the return proposal only has 15M HP voted to it so I would hope it's not 0 like the witnesses in consensus.
I notice one of yours is a 'victim' on the stabiliser!

Out of the 14 proposals above the HBD, only 4 will be funded: the ones from Howo and Peakd, HiveSQL and HiveAuth, the last 3 being the only ones actually funded without BT's vote.
The same applies to Hivebuzz's proposal which was previously funded without BT support.
"Victim" is the correct word because the stabilizer is backed mostly by whales, whose stakes are rising faster than others, raising the bar faster than the rise in support for other proposals that don't have the stabilizer supporters among their own supporters.
So basically the HBD stabiliser at current levels is sucking development funds away from developers?
Not for all devs/projects. But for those who are not supported by BT, it becomes really difficult to get funded. We are in a somewhat similar situation as for witnesses.
It's a tough one - I'm painfully aware that it's even worse than it appears - I know the alpha account is basically Trades too, but on the other hand there's so much liquid Hive out there it's possible for someone with large enough pockets to buy enough to compete.
I can't really hold it against Blocktrades for holding a larger stake than everyone else!
It is something I find most interesting - how decentralised is Hive compared to other Chains - it seems to be very centralised, but then again in terms of how much it would potentially cost you to gain significant governance rights it's not that centralised - but that's probably a silly measure.
Thinking like that is also possibly my pro-Hive bias - wanting to find an analytical trick to prove it's not really centralised at all.
Maybe I'm just kidding myself.
Do you know who controls the Freedom account? Dan or Ned I presume? Or is that Trades too?
At least Trades is prepared to put a face to his account name, that's something at least, maybe?
