@spinvest thanks for this post. I spotted it yesterday and read the first paragraph, got side tracked and then couldn’t find it again. I just spent the better part of an hour trolling the most viewed page looking for it again to finish reading.
I’m not here to talk shit on the 3million being spent by DHF and how effective it is… i can be skeptical, but truth is i dont know enough to really say.
I do however think that the ethos of hive is meant to be decentralized, and trusting in the literal Hive mind seems at most essential, at least obvious.
To me taking solid ideas from the community, creating some polling to vote on the ideas and actioning a few of them with small experimental DHF/Value Plan budgets seems a clear ‘why not’
I mean, if hive was a crazy success with new users clamouring at the door, all due to the brilliant use of the DHF, then perhaps community sourced ideas could be ignored or swatted away like pesky flies. As it stands though, maybe it is time to look inward and really become the chain that mainly posts already claim to be.
Your idea of a staged earnings entrance based on time on chain and output/activity seems worthy of a trial. Not even so costly and even with a potential payback. Again “why not” give it a trial.
Listen, This Wednesday at 8pm UTC a few of us are starting a weekly chat on the Hive Discord to discuss all things hive and crypto, and discussing these kind of ideas are exactly what we are seeking. It will me @peaceandmoney @shadowspup and myself there for this wed.
