RE: BlockTrades RocksDB proposal to Steemit

in #blocktrades6 years ago

I love the idea and the proposal. I also know what blocktrades is capable of and have full confidence in their ability to perform.

Question: could part of the cost be offset by the community using its stake to upvote brief daily progress reports?

Sort:  

Realistically, I'd probably need to write those reports personally, and giving my own billing rate (much higher than our other programming staff), daily posts would probably end in a net loss, unfortunately. It's also difficult to describe the daily work done by a programming team in a form that is meaningful to non-programmers. I recall this very well, as I had a similar request made when we were working on the BitShares p2p networking layer many years ago (same one used now by Steem code base).

True.

In any case I have seen comments from several in the community that would be willing to contribute to this much needed solution. With it we all win. Without it............

If necessary I'd prefer to use my stake in order to contribute using whatever method would be the most practical.
