I struggle with the for-profit applications - wouldn't be so bad if these were loans.
What happened with Splinterlands, what's the analysis, why are we throwing more money at it?
I read somewhere that a Splinterlands spokesperson was saying if they didn't get DHF support they would "have to go to another blockchain". If it's possible to make a sustainable business elsewhere, why not go and do it?
As a more general comment, few proposals seemto have a strong business case with numbers and reporting is abysmal, if it exists at all.
Its like we paying to keep them in operation, wages, servers, etc. I never really understood Splinterlands. If ValuePlan can collect $200k for whatever, we should get $100k and start a business that generates actual profits. It would never get voted, would make too much sense. lol
