RE: Hive Proposal Costs per Active User
We gave everyone equal opportunity to own SPK, and even vastly throttled inflation so early adopters Don’t get much of an advantage. SPK did not cost the users anything. They all own SPK (except for the people who dumped their tokens of course…). There is a sustainable business model there where cash flows in for storage. I know it works since we will be paying in to get 3Speak storage done there in a decentralized way as soon as the project goes live. It’s in final phase of testnet atm.
So I’d argue there is a way to do proposals and a way not to. I don’t think it is fair to say SPK network cost community members anything when it is open source and is community owned and run.
Its value is far far beyond what hive community paid for it. It does decentralized, incentivized cloud storage for stuff u can’t store on chain and decentralized incentivized file transfer (amongst other things). Total budget was 750k usd over 3 years. That is insanely cheap compared to certain things being paid for that return zero ownership and most of which aren’t even open source.
I originally thought of @lordbutterfly's comment about Vibes acquisition cost per user. I thought of Hive Watchers and how much it costs per each user per year in perspective. It isn't really a "cost per user" as in users are paying it out of their pocket, at least not directly. It's more of a flip on the "acquisition cost" metric typically used for marketing. I then thought it would be interesting to compare every proposal against the active users.
It's just another way of looking at the costs involved for the proposals compared to an estimated monthly active users.
I purposely shared no opinion on the proposals themselves, I left that up to everyone to do on their own.
Good to know, from looking at the price of LARYX I thought the project was dead like many others.
