RE: Do we actually need a worker proposal system? Let's get some real examples of work proposals first.

I don't get it.

First you say:

If he could secure a daily/weekly payment for his development work, he wouldn't need to produce a weekly update (more in the pool)

And then you say:

I would suggest for a website, that isn't critical to the chain (but is a solid nice to have), that this wouldn't be a valid paid for x amount of time deal, and more a 'this is what I want to add' sort of thing.

To me, he seems to be doing all the work that needs to be done now without a worker proposal funding and even better he secured his own funding by finding users that want to support him.

Even better would be a revenue model outside of the reward pool which should be the aim of most apps imho.

Wether Steem cleaners take money directly from the author rewards or we first cut the author pool altogether and then put it into a WPS pool and then give it to them.

I don't see the difference.

    Maybe my thinking changed as I was working through my example :)

    I think WP work is paid hourly, with a known lump sum split across this time and so there would be a fixed end point to the received funds. If this is true (would need to listen to BT recording again) then it would be a case of offering up the list of features (work to be done) prior to receiving funding.

    Yes I agree, but love doesn't buy food

    ... and even better he secured his own funding by finding users that want to support him. Even better would be a revenue model outside of the reward pool which should be the aim of most apps imho

    This is the goal for sure. So should WP's be seen as 'kickstarter' funds?

    Wether Steemcleaners take money directly from the author rewards or we first cut the author pool altogether and then put it into a WPS pool and then give it to them.

    Right now they have one pot, the delegation. Some is used to curb abuse, some is used to self-vote - they decide. What if there was no abuse for a week, would you be happy with all the SP going to 'salary'?

    With WP, the salary is separated from the SP allocated for abuse. This sounds more transparent and fair to me.

    Just thinking out loud, I don't have the answers :)
