I strongly favor this proposal. I also very much appreciate the skill, resources, and hard work you have dedicated to making these tools, that are very much needed. However, I have committed to voting only the Return Proposal until and unless proposals commit to and employ GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) to account for the funds disbursed by the DHF, because of the rampant waste and fraud that is apparent and ongoing.
I realize the value of your work, resources, and skill far exceeds your ask, but I would be able to vote for this proposal were you to commit to accounting for expenditures of DHF funds, and I want to support this proposal. Particularly because you are undertaking to provide tools to expose and prevent fraud, will you commit to exemplifying the accounting for DHF funds that can establish the use of GAAP as a necessary feature of proposals going forward? That lack of accounting is fundamental to the fraud, waste, and abuse that has, and continues to, extract the funds in the DHF that should be laser-focused on development, but today are all too often frittered away on rally cars and extravagant spending without any benefit to Hive or any accounting to the Hive community whatsoever. There's no mention of accounting in the proposal itself, and I expect you strongly concur regarding the need for it, not so much regarding this proposal, but for so many that are bleeding the DHF without benefit to Hive.
Please demonstrate in this proposal that accounting for DHF funds is something every proposal must do, and can be done. Given you are a one man shop and the tracking of expenditures and pay would be simple for this proposal, I sincerely hope you will.
Thanks!
Outside of hosting, all expenses are development time and the proposal is for far less than my time is worth. If it passes and I continue the project, there will be more expenses for hosting as some reports will require additional collection and databases outside of what is available.
That's why it would be trivially easy to account for DHF fund expenditures for this specific proposal, and would set a bar for other proposals. You didn't mention the utility of accounting regarding proposals I expect we agree aren't spending DHF fund wisely. Your focus appears to be the prevention of abuse, which I expect requiring accounting for DHF funds expenditures would assist.
Frankly, even if the whole of the expenditures were just pay for your time, it'd be a bargain, IMHO, so I am not trying to trip you up regarding that. I doubt anyone could make a convincing case that your skills aren't worth 100 HBD a day. Hell, I'm worth more than that with a hammer in my hand and a pencil in my pocket.
Please do address the need to require accounting in order to help prevent abuse of the DHF, here.
