Awesome. I believe that we need UI friendly DAPPS for mass adoption too. This one looks promising too.
Question: Where do you find all these proposals in a first place? I'd like to look more into it. Since we have build a PC version for photography community on BeScouted on steem, but then projects funding has been cut and i would love to migrate it on Hive as well.
Any good resource i could go out and look for like minded developers that would consider working with me on it? I am not a developer myself, but i could possibly get funding from VC's to spin it and scale out. I know it is not a very decentralizes way of developing something but i think it is possible to find a sweet spot to design a viable business model while retaining all of the decentralized benefits of the blockchain.
Here you go! All the proposals are listed here, and you can vote on each one you like :-) https://peakd.com/me/proposals There's a Return Proposal which sets basically the amount of Vests a proposal has to get to get funded, this is done so the system won't be abused.
You can definitely try to get your project funded over there. You'll have to find devs yourself though, as the DHF (Decentralized Hive Fund) itself is not a meeting place of sorts for Devs, merely a place to present your project to get it funded if your goals and timeline and funds seem reasonable. I've noticed most people like to fund open sourced projects as this way these 'public' Hive funds will add value to the overall community and not just to individual projects/owners, but exceptions are made.
Osom, thanks. Where do the funds actually come from?
And considering Devs, maybe you know of some discord channel i could try talking to the guys?
It's a long story, but basically a percentage of the reward pool gets added to the DHF in the form of HBD. Also, the DHF got extra funding when we forked from Steem, as all the Steemit, Inc assets have been 'locked up' in the DHF fund :-) We're sitting on a pretty nice sum of money therefore. No-one can reach those funds, the fund gets filled through blockchain code, and when a proposal is funded through the system the blockchain basically pays out automatically :-)
Hope that makes sense. You can find more explanatory posts through @blocktrades who coded the whole DHF (previously Steem Proposal System) and through @hiveio. Also, in order to get connected to Devs and/or other people who can help you please feel free to join the Hive Discord: https://discord.gg/cV76sjk - there's a #dev-chat amongst others.
This was very helpful, appreciate the time you took, thank you :)
Oh, that one is sweet and i believe a perfect usage of that stake, which should have been allocated in a similar manner on steem blockchain in the first place.
You're welcome! :-)
And yes! That's the way that stake should've been used 'forever', and even though it was promised verbally it was never 'coded in' on Steem. Now, on Hive, it is. Will protect us of bad actors as well :-)
Cheers, and thanks for the follow!
Indeed.
I've even met Ned in person at Consensus to talk about my BeScouted community to be integrated with steem. At that time i had a dev team and all we needed was little support. But guess what :)
In the end we made some sloppy integration but then ran out of funding and the whole project halted.
