RE: Steem Works: A Funding Mechanism for a Worker Proposal System
I think that this is a wise and helpful proposal @aggroed. That passive Steem inflation is great and all, but it does need to be allocated more efficiently. I would like if all the major investors think of it as follows: Wouldn't you like it if each one of your Steem tokens gained through passive inflation turned into 2, 3, 4 or more Steem without diluting the number of total outstanding Steem tokens? If you do, then you should be embracing the idea of a community created Steem pool of funds that goes towards paying for community selected and successfully completed worker proposals. The key aspect of this proposal is who will be selecting the proposals that will get funding, and what will the allocation of funds look like.
An added feature that can help with this is a field in the profile settings that lets the user allocate a percentage from the annual percentage to a specific worker proposal fund of their choosing.
A similar additional feature that is already being developed is for the user to be able to set a beneficiary account of a percentage of their voting rewards or even curation rewards.
I think that these 2 new features would help investors choose what project teams they would like to passively contribute to.
These contribution/beneficiary features would of course be completely voluntary, but some kind of recognition (aka benefactor badge, etc.) could be visible on the profile page of the accounts that contribute a percentage of their rewards to a worker proposal pool or project team. Just an opinion.
And of course, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Steemians! Blessings to all!
Good evening greetings from Venezuela analyzing what is described both in the post and in your comment, both participations are wise to create steem power in a medium and long term investment plan where everyone working as bees create an investment plan in a fund or account that serves as support and investment for the benefit of all, this can be added an incentive to boost mass participation and thus achieve majority.
Merry Christmas also for you and the whole community of steemit
Good to u
Hi I red your post , lot of good insides ,
I am new to steemit , Could you reveal ? is there anyway to attach pic or animation without using You tube or tweeter ,

Your idea about worker proposal system is great! I employ the steemit family to give the idea a chance. I think it will be of a great benefit to the steemit family. You are the best. I follow and up vote you.
Yes 100% . I agree with estream ...steemit cN grow exponentially if the payout system is much more democratised . Based on voting powers it’s hugely flawed . Loopholes galore ... scams . Colluisions ... whales , sharks , fat cats you name it .....I vote should always equal 1 vote not vote based power .... then worker propsals are next step ... right now steemit is losing more people than getting new users .... the reason .... frustration ..... take that out .... and steemit could out do the biggest of the most all .
Merry Christmas Happy Holiday.
I agree @estream.studios thats fore sure
