RE: Ideas to get some smaller Hive projects funded
There is a lot of room for extra funding from the author rewards pool in my opinion. I know this may not be a popular thing to say because many are driven by earning as much as possible, etc, but since it may be hard for smaller projects to receive funding from the DHF and that can be reserved for bigger ones, I think it'd be great to be able to fund them using author rewards or the various other variations as you mentioned, delegations, donations, etc. (Although with delegations to make sure it doesn't step on any curation misuse)
I'm saying this because we haven't really seen any significant growth in unique authors joining, so I understand that some stakeholders may vote on things like hbd.funder, buildawhale or poshtoken comments to allocate some author rewards towards different things - hopefully until things change where we see an influx of new users coming in. Generally I think many authors get good rewards with many in the top being overrewarded (myself included), so there's definitely room for allocating the votes to other things that may improve hive or help bring more users to it and other effects.
When there is money to be gained, unfortunately there will be abuse too.
There surely will be projects that misuse their delegations or funds. Or stop their project and walk away with the earnings.
But I think there are more projects that do care about Hive and really want to make it a better place.
I hope we can achieve that with these two ideas. I just created the Shark Tank community. I'll try to make a nice opening blog during the weekend.
And then make a plan to get both the community and the tag more known, so they get the attention of the masses 😊
