"it seems to be a closed shop controlled by 20 or so people.
"SPL proposal has something like 800 votes backing it.
"I never once said all have equal say.
So, your reply wasn't responsive to the statement that the DHF is controlled by '20 or so people', but regarding attempts by the relatively stakeless to exert control they didn't have the stake to do.
Got it.

You're twisting my words.
Got it.
The reality is, I'm coming from a place where I firmly believe in strength in numbers. Thousands of people with HP can participate. A community with common interests like SPL for example has a clear advantage. Problem is, they don't participate. And that is a choice they're making. Not a flaw in design.
Thousands with 100HP each turns into a big number. On the individual level, it's extremely inexpensive to double the size of that big number.
If the spending is out of hand, thousands of people have the ability to put a stop to it, as we speak.
Also, I'm coming from a place where I realize the door is wide open, and billions of people could potentially be participating. I'm not viewing the entire picture known as Hive from within the bubble.
As of this writing and using SPL as an example. If one or two more participants with large stacks step up in support of that proposal and that's enough to push it into approved status, that does not mean those individuals were responsible for the decision. They're simply added to the pile of 800 participants. It all adds up. That one sitting there with 10 HP could be enough to push a proposal into approved status. And if this system was running at its full potential, that particular proposal would have thousands of smaller votes backing it.
