I'm sure you've seen my comments being critical of the DHF in the BRO server. I am 100% with you. As is, we are just throwing money away. Proposals need to include a hell of a lot more details than they do now. Now, many of them amount to "Gimme muh money!", or in the case of the SPL proposal "pay up or we might think about leaving Hive". Proposals need to be more detailed, then if passed, there needs to be weekly progress checks. Miss a weekly progress check? Funding is instantly removed.
I like your idea that to get a proposal passed, you also have to hold a certain level of HIVE. We might also add a requirement (that might be waved in certain situations) that you have to have been a member of Hive for a certain number of years. Both of these would show commitment to the Hive Blockchain.
Anyway, I'm totally with you. I'm happy to see more and more people are raising awareness of the issue. Right now the next things we can do are spread awareness and encourage all our followers to support the return proposal. Let's get that thing as high as possible! All together, we have more HP than the whales. Let's use it.
As for the APR, yeah I agree on that too. I don't understand the rational behind dropping it to 15%. I would be open to the drop if it's for the good of Hive, but I would appreciate if some of the witnesses who dropped their APR would post with their rational for doing so.
There is no rationale. Just like the Feds arbitrarily decided that 2% is a healthy level of inflation.
