Hive Proposals .:. Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.27 (Wednesday, July 17, 4 PM UTC)
If you are a Splinterlands player (or not), you have probably heard about the upcoming proposal from the SPL team where they would like to raise money for future developments in the game by getting funds from the DHF (Decentralized Hive Fund)... Even if you are not a Splinterlands player, you should know more about DHF, how it works, what are pros and cons, and how the fund affects you and your Hive journey...
As HIVE doesn't have a centralized figure, in some way, every Hivian is responsible for his action on HIVE as they can (and ARE) influence others too... That's why you heard many times from this account that we have to take RESPONSIBILITY more seriously than we do in a "centralized" system where we aren't asked too much... The first step toward that is to UNDERSTAND how things work, understand the pros and cons, be aware of the consequences of our actions, and then make a decision(s)...

Similarly to witness voting, those who have the biggest stake (HivePower) have the biggest vote value on proposals... Also, there is no downvoting on proposals (maybe it should be?), but there are ways how you can support a better decentralization of the DHF, and we will talk about that too... As I don't know everything, I hope that you will actively participate in the discussion during the show and share your view and understanding of the Proposal system on HIVE!
Another important thing regarding Hive Proposals is that the system isn't flawless (as nothing else is), but it shows the path how a decentralized system should work... In the last day or two, you could see some nasty comments, a lot of bitterness, anger, etc. As like with any other "voting" there will be people that are happy with the result and those who aren't... In the end, we should accept all the good and bad things that come with decentralization... Even if we disagree with something, we should accept the decision made by the majority, or by the biggest HIVE stakers...
Again, as HIVE is a decentralized system, we shouldn't forget that nothing is set in stone and that everything can change, even the rules for Hive Proposals, or the whole DHF system, or anything else... To change things, you should start the dialogue... Our main tool in a decentralized system...
Anyway, we will try to explain some main things about Hive Proposals, like how they work, what is a DHF, what is a Return proposal, how the voting goes, how to create a proposal, etc.
While I would like to keep the conversation more at the basics and "how it works", I am aware that we will probably digress and move into discussing certain proposals... That is also fine and we can do it in the second part of the show, or if we stay out of time, we can do it in the after-show... There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion about certain proposals, positive or negative... As a matter of fact, I would say that it is healthy to do it for the person who does that, and for other listeners who maybe have an opposite opinion... We should learn to accept other's opinions as it shows that we are mature enough to embrace decentralization and different point of view...

This is an interesting topic to be discussed. I really hope I can join this time there is a power interruption at my place and I only have 2 hours of sleep. Maybe take a 4hrs power nap 🤣? If you can @ me in Ecency Discord or dm me 1 hour before hand it would be appreciated.
Huh... I will try to not forget it... I put you on the list of Discord mentions before the show... :)
Power naps are great when you are young... When you get old, that doesn't help... lol...
See you!
Thanks for sharing! And indeed, an interesting, but especially important topic! As you mentioned, the fact that Hive is decentralized, and there is no one single point to blame ;-) makes that we all have to take our responsibility, and take it seriously!
Somehow, I have a feeling that today's show will be more about responsibility, as it is a very important ingredient of decentralization...
Absolutely! There is no freedom without responsibility. A fact that many people find very hard to grasp…
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the show, due to family responsibilities, but will definitely check out the recording!
It sounds like a good topic to talk about. Hive is decentralized and it's good for people to understand how all of it works. It does make me wonder how the Splinterlands proposal will go though.
I have no doubts about whether the SPL proposal will pass or not. It will be 100%... But, I like the discussion about it as the time of "transparency about proposals" still hasn't come... and we need that... Accountability, responsibility with received funds, etc.
I'm very sorry that even though I attended the show, I couldn't listen to the whole thing. It's annoying that I'm leaving work late, man. Luckily, I'll be able to listen to the video of the show.
No worries man... We had a great show and there is over an hour of recording... :)
Cheers!
Sounds like it will be a great show. I will try to tune in. I agree that even if it goes against your own vote, accepting the majority rule is important and part of the decentralised process.
Accepting a decision is probably the healthiest way to save yourself from stress... 😂
See you soon!
I feel that if there's a downvote button for proposals, it might be healthy but then it'll be chaotic. Expressing one's actions towards the DHF and how it's been done is important, I mean, we're decentralized afterall.
As for splinterlands, I think the proposal will pass and it's good too. Good explanation with how the DHF works
That's an interesting topic for discussion. I would say that ATM the Return Proposal limit is very low, which means that with 2-3 whales voting FOR can push through any proposal... We need a higher Return Proposal, or maybe a downvote on them... btw... as the HIVE market cap is lower with this low price, 500K USD additional pressure is significant...
After checking the comment section, it looks like the show will go way out of the main idea about Hive Proposals, how they work, etc... 😂
Honestly, I've heard about the SPL proposal in X... I'm on dozens of Discord servers and I haven't read anything about it on any of them. The dialogue (and the information about what's happening behind the curtains) you comment on is non-existent at the moment and it is sad because I agree with your opinion, the only way to move forward together is to respect contrary opinions. Within Hive your publication is the first to name it, so I hope to know more in a few hours at the show.
Heheheh... There is a lot of heated discussion on that proposal's HIVE post, but my intention wasn't to talk about that, but rather about Proposals and how they work... But it looks like we will have a heated discussion in the show (or after show) on SPL proposals... 😃
I will need more moderating hands during the show... 😂
Greetings @ph1102 ,
Thank you for again addressing the elephant in the room...giving us knowledge of the process so that we can make our own decisions.
I will check your link with regard to Content Creation Experiences.
Kind Regards, Bleujay
I like elephants! 😃 But, Hive Proposals aren't the elephant in the room, but rather that one specific proposal is... hehehhe...
The goal for today is to explain how Proposals work, who is paying what, and how we should approach proposals...
If you have time, you are more than welcome to join the show live in the Ecency discord...
See you!
Oh I see....sorry..I missed the point.
Thank you for the invite!

It was hot, hot, hot in the show... 🔥 😃
Hehe I know!
If there can be downvotes on posts, why can’t there be downvotes on proposals🤔🤔
That's a good question... Maybe we should discuss about that... ;)
