*HOW DARE YOU*

lol... as a bystander who has long given up on worrying about the petty politics around here... that's great popcorn! thanks for the chuckles!

on another note, I really wonder how they blew all the money they made during their bullish times!?! They seem to have a rather incredible rate of cash burning. In so far I fully understand why you'd try to prevent more funds going their way... fass ohne boden!

Well, that's a shock.

IF the power pyramid was in total coherence we'd be in trouble.
Corruption would settle in that we might never escape.
Short of a fork.

On the topic at hand, I thought aggie got shafted when he got here.
He was the only one developing things that came to fruition.

Smtees!™
Smdh.

8+ years to get smart contracts seems a little slow, too.
We are still waiting for those to roll out functionality.
Might be 9 years before we get them.

But,
If you don't like how hive is managed, buy more hive.™

If downvotes on Hive were utilized effectively and no bad downvotes, it could function well. However, currently, their usage by those with significant Hive power seems problematic it's bad, and hindering Hive's growth as investment in Hive is discouraged by bad downvotes and abuse taking place on Hive.

It's challenging to construct a truly decentralized structure on a centralized blockchain like Hive. Those who set the rules disregard them, creating an unfair environment.

I am sorry this happened to you. It should not be happening, but sadly it is. It's up to us to figure out what kind of culture and place we want to have. I just voted for you as a witness and unvoted aggroed. There's plenty of contribution he has done for Hive but sadly this kind of behaviour is something I completely cannot accept.

@yabapmatt Do you have any comment on this?

LOVE IT WE ALL NEED TO SPEAK UP

On Hive, no person or group should monopolize the funds, as power can lead to unethical behaviors as we can see, which is an issue at the moment. These funds should be used more efficiently. If necessary, consider transferring them to a NULL account. The current value plan isn't providing a good outcome for HIVE, and thus, a different approach might be beneficial.

Sad to see this kind of politics... Thank you Pharesim for all your help ❤️

Holy fuck. Thats insane

I support you completely. This kind of quid pro quo politics is disgusting. We as a community should be above this. But human fucking nature... as soon as money enters a system, corruption follows. I already vote for you so I can't add anything for your display of honesty. But yeah, I really appreciate your independence. 

@pharesim your concerns about the lack of detail in the proposal are valid.

However, many of the successful proposals also lack detail, so it seems unfair to pick on this one alone.

As a relative noob with only 70 HP, I have repeatedly been told by senior hivers that my views don't count. Just consider that for a moment!

I know nothing about the past acrimonies that riddle old Hivers, but it seems to predate the existence of Hive or Splinterlands.

All I know is Splinterlands is a great game and Hive is a great blockchain.

Please separate your personal feelings and support this proposal again...

I reached out to you on discord.

> As a decentralized platform, votes should only be given for causes we believe are beneficial for the chain as a whole.

This is what I learned here in the blockchain.😊 You cannot force a vote.😊

I thought that I was the only crazy that disliked the proposal… I think this proposal was the last drop that I needed to conclude that People don’t know how to write proposals, and in consequence people don’t know how to assess dhf proposals… if someone wants a grant to execute a project it needs to be detailed a couple of things… why your project is important, some background, what you foresee to conclude with that project and expenses discrimination. You cant say that you will need 500k USD when you dont know in what you are going to spend on that… how much in personnel ? Technologies needed to buy? Third party company hiring? When I saw a comment in the proposal authors saying that they don’t know exactly the costs and how they are going to spend that? Man… it could be Albert Einstein asking for a grant that I would still be against to do it. Sometimes dhf proposals looks a child play… and stakeholders think that hive tokens are like monopoly bank notes. I am not against the group asking the money, I hated the how  mostly.
