RE: Should we reconstitute the Steemit development incentive program as a permanent online steem hackathon?
In general, I think any idea that aims to bring together people who want to do something for the blockchain is useful. It can be considered in a broader context, and include different areas of activity, not only programming.
There is a saying: "He who pays, orders the music."
Check out what the Steemit team can do with their large curation account. They somehow influence the behavior of the entire community of authors. Based on this, we should first accumulate resources, unite everyone who is interested in supporting development. I think this can be implemented in the creation of a curation trail. This way, people will continue to be able to use their SP, and if necessary, their account will vote on development reports.
It will be necessary to clearly define exactly what work needs to be done in order to receive support.
Unfortunately, experience shows that the largest curation trail (WOX community) is able to reward the author with a maximum of ten dollars. I don't think we will be able to find more people interested in development. Thus, due to the lack of resources, unfortunately, this initiative will be extremely difficult to implement.
Agreed. This is why I put "support from voter-investors" first. If we don't get that in place, the rest is difficult or impossible. Still, if they care about protecting and growing the value of their investments, one or more of the whales might want to dedicate 5-10% of their voting power to something like this. Seems like a "no brainer" to me when compared to the status quo...
That's a possibility that I hadn't considered. People could even use steemworld to copy votes from a community curation account.
