Hi :)
With the funds, the platform can be up and running by the end of December. After that, it will take one year to onboard all of the people necessary, as well as to create a legal structure to back Future Media Vision as a whole.
One year is enough to launch the whole Writer department, platform, onboarding, etc. It's a well-awaited project after all. Just that so far, people have a wait-and-see approach, so I've never gotten the funds. Without the funds, the project is due to late February at the earliest and will take a year and a half to launch.
The SPS system will deliver a given amount of SDB each day the proposal is active to a person (given people don't retract their votes) until the end of the period designed by the person proposing.
All of your vote power is taken into account for the vote proposal, however, it's just for the calculation. If your support is above the support for the return-proposal (that represents the bottom line to be funded) and your supporter stays with you until the end of the project, you get your daily payout.
It's not taken away from the vote power you have, it just add weight to the proposal in question. Currently, to have a proposal accepted, it must be above the return-proposal so to say 14,240,853.926 SP. However, there's a difference with the voting system: the whole SP pool count. It means that if someone has 14 SP, it will add 14 SP. If you have 300 people with 14 SP, it's 4200 SP added to the proposal. It might not seem significant, but in fact, it is. It means that the voice of smaller accounts is heard. Plus, as they grow in SP, then the proposal grows in strength.
In a community like ours where people grow daily and help each other very much, comment to each other and such, it means that we can definitely make someone's proposal gain traction. After that, it's up to how many people we can convince of a project's worth. But it's also normal that communities campaign for the projects of their community.
And as I was saying in an earlier comment, I have yet pushed the proposal through because as always, I discuss things with people first, make sure they understand me, and see where I am going before I push anything like a financial request.
Look at how my token isn't getting any traction... It a very useful token for those who want to invest in the project, and those who want to invest in their author career, but it's not taking off. I think it's because I didn't discuss that token enough with the people. I won't make the same mistake with the proposal. That's my point of view.
