RE: BlockTrades RocksDB proposal to Steemit
Fact is: 250$k is a lot of money. But another fact is: time is money.
2-3 months delay on SMTs is what most stakeholders of Steem are worried about.
By outsourcing the work to blocktrades, Steemit Inc. could get back on track with SMTs and depending on the need, could even release basic SMTs ahead of the scheduled time of May 2019.
Now, with having my limited knowledge in mind of how much Steemit Inc. can afford at this point in time, I'm still very much in favour of this proposal. However, in the end, Steemit Inc. has to make the decision if they believe it's a good investment.
the simplest yet most realistic way of looking at this... Priority #1 is to restore confidence and that can only be done by trying to meet the already established deadlines.
I agree with everything except the last part of your comment @therealwolf since I think @ned and @steemit will factor in the support or non-support of the Steem community for this agreement.
