RE: [Proposal] Add Inflation Funding Source to the Steem Proposal System
I imagine it would make sense if they provide a continuous and reasonable flow of financing for the worker fund rather than a big pile of STEEM all at once. This might be much easier in regards to legal concerns and board of directors.
It would not be sustainable or scalable in the long term, right. But for the short term, it seems like the best solution to me. It will put the ecosystem in a better position to support itself. After this, Steemit, Inc. can discontinue the funding.
The system already generates the tokens. It only makes sense for some of them to go to actual proposals of merit.
I think you know the extensively discussed issues. There is a lack of agreement on redirecting rewards away from authors or curators or witnesses. Or on increasing the inflation. I wonder why you think (if I understand you right) that it would be more advantageous to go down that path, for the short term, rather than ask Steemit, Inc. to provide funding for some period of time.
Because they have been asked and it’s clear they are only committing to the 200k STEEM. So, if the Steem worker proposal system is something we see being as beneficial, we, the community, have to find a way to sustainably fund it. The rewards aka “inflation” pool was designed to fund contributions to the platform that add value, it makes sense to allocate some of it to a worker system that essential could add quite a bit of value.
Depending on Steemit Inc. is not an option, so we need another one.
