RE: Proposal: Witness Development Fund for Steem Code-Review

Two things. One, now I feel like I should have just dove straight into C++ instead of Javascript and Python.. Second, steemcreative is currently losing money when it comes to server costs. A fund seems like a great solution for those of us on the bottom.

How many do you think it would take? 2? 5?

I wouldn't say that per-se. Both have different areas of application. @Yabapmatt created Steem Monsters simply with JS. C++ is needed for pure blockchain development.

Steem needs blockchain developers for growth, but it also needs dApps. So pick your side and stick with it.

I understand how frustrating it is to lose money with the server, but that's not what the fund is for. And I want to be very clear on that: the idea for the fund is to hire highly skilled developers who should review the code. (for example in preparation of HFs or bigger updates)

No, I get you, I know it's not to supplement. Apologies if that's how it came across. Agree that it's a good idea to hire third party devs of the witnesses choosing to review code
