RE: War Chest Growth Idea - The Steem Blockchain is going to buy up Bitshares
A war chest is a good idea to have monies readily available for funding projects. Since you brought this up, how can we divvy out the money for these projects - would it all be handled by corporate? Is there supposed to be a project committee to approach? What are your ideas for the exact working of this?
These funds would be community controlled. We need community controlled funds as the alternative is having to approach Steemit Inc and wait for the green light everytime we need to fund something.
I think we should base ourselves off of the Dash and Bitshares model, but modify their protocols to work for us to quickly roll out projects with community consensus.
I like your point but also I am becoming horribly attached to the value of my Steem and SBD. If anything were to occur that would affect that or Steemit itself I would be very, very upset. So, how exactly do "we" do this? Aren't you talking more about like forming a guild or something, separate from Steemit?
Everyone who owns Steem is a co-owner of the Steem blockchain. It is about creating a war chest for the co-owners to use to support any projects that reach community consensus.
Yes, I understand that and you have an interesting idea. I just wonder about the mechanics of it.
Like where the proposals are made so that everyone is aware of the project and can vote on it, for example. After all, you are talking about things for Steemit or Steemit related projects. It seems we are missing something would help Steemit really take off, which could be this proposal and what it might produce for the benefit of the whole Steemit community.
I guess then what I am asking is: if the mechanism does not currently exist, how would this be created so that it did exist?
Well, there is no method of holding a vote at the moment for the money to be distributed or for a vote
Ideally we would need something added to the UI so people could easily find or see community approved proposals to vote on them.
We need to discuss more as a community how to achieve this.
There is an idea here for Steem polls on voting.
