Got curious with @pettycash and I noticed that I'm the only one who returned some funds after doing some Hive merch. I checked some of the accounts that received the funds and so far there's no mention of any itemized list of where the funds went. Not good IMHO. I mean not with @pettycash, but those accounts that received funding. There should be reporting.
I agree with targeting those communities that have nothing to do with Hive. But having conventional marketing strategies will be good for comparison. As for big ads, there are no tangible positive responses that I observed. I might not be observing enough though.
I saw your return and thought exactly the same :)
Happy New Year and Congrats for your great Xmas initiative! Well done!
Thank you! It's not mine to keep, so I should return whatever's left. I mean it's basic decency.
Happy New Year! I'll have more initiatives soon!
👍
Yeah transparency would definitely be welcomed, in fact, I've also been looking at proposals and how there's very little of that of costs and things they claim and a lot of things remain hidden. Very few of them even update regularly aside from when it's time to renew proposals.
As you mention it's also a bit unnerving that out of all the funded projects/initiatives through it none of them felt like they had some left over hbd to return to the pool for future ones.
Transparency
Still waiting for it, but I'm patient!
Transparency should be a norm, not an exception. We have no central auditor, so the community should be able to audit all the projects that are funded. There should be no future funding for those who won't be able to disclose all the costs in their projects.
