I'm with you on blocktrades getting funded if they started building tools for devs to use and make the blockchain more attractive to other projects to build.
And these.
HBD listing on exchanges and staking reward trackers
Twitter/X subscription for more exposure and promoting tweets
Creating better interface for hive.io
Form the first list above keychain is essential to the eco-system and should be funded. Apart from that i an on the fecnce for leo and peakd. The rest no.
Peakd should be running ads and funding itself at this stage of their development.
For any other project to get funded i think that there should be a proper proposal with regular updates, targets to meet and show how the money is being spent accountable to the community.
LEO have done this and so have the community fund from guiltyparties. Other than that nothing. Lots of money out with no trace of how it's being used or what it is achieving.
Peakd proposal is not for peakd. It is another proposal aimed at multiple projects. That proposal is going to run for years because we already invested we might as well go full in. This is the second proposal I think.
