Thanks for tagging. I just want to be clear there is no owner of SPORTS. I was the founder but everything we do should be done by stakeholder approval and grassroots efforts. That's the importance of using our DAO to decide how things work. There shouldn't be one person in charge making unilateral decisions about how the tribe moves forward. We have a system in place for anyone seeking changes to make a proposal, allow stakeholders to vote and then see that process executed.
I agree with that if the community it is mature enough and SportsTalkSocial community have not reached that kind of mature yet.
Look to LeoFinance project they have a mature community and even so, decisions continue to be made by the project team.
Using DAOs and making the community make decisions must be something very well-thought-out, or we could fall into no man's land as is the current moment in our community where nobody can make decisions to make the community move forward.
We had numerous examples in DeFi projects where they introduced DAO without analyzing things properly, ended up destroying the project.
You say you don't own SPS that you were only the founder of, then you own all private keys for community related accounts (@sports-gov, @sportstalksocial, @hive-101690 and @sportsnft).
In my opinion, this makes you the owner of the SPS.
Or is there some way for community members to own these accounts?
We moved away from advertising with the move to the new Hive Engine Outpost condenser because that tooling was never built for Outposts. The old site styling moved to sportstalk.social which I planned to leave running. At some point a change broke that site and no one reported it for months so I assumed that no one was using it and eventually let that domain expire. I'd love to see someone create a PR to get Outposts to support advertising. I think that'd be a good thing for all tribes and could be something done by an outside group that took a bit of the profit from ads and gave the rest back the tribes that participated. This was supposed to be a service from the old Steem Engine days but it never really materialized either.
Can you share the repository where our front end code is located?
I don't think the fact that the Hive Engine has stopped supporting a feature serves as an excuse for the lack of publicity. Leo Finance continues with some publicity, but soon they are in another level.
Regarding advertising, can you explain why there are funds related to community advertising that have not been transferred to one of the community accounts and remain in a BTC wallet?
The delegation to Actifit is from our partnership with them. We made an agreement in the early days that we'd delegate 5000 HP to them if they'd make Actifit be a SPORTS rewarding application. This could be addressed in a proposal to remove the delegation from them and use the Hive for other functions but I highly doubt there will be enough stake in favor to get over the quorum. Some of the top stakeholders are huge Actifit fans and without their support you'd need a very large grassroots movement to get past their vote.
What does Actifit “give” or help us?
I only see things that help the Actifit community and that hurt our SPS community.
For me, the fact of saying that a proposal regarding the delegation would hardly pass because most of the stakeholders are from the Actifit community tells me a lot about our decentralization....
DAO is not decentralized and SPS is a hostage of the Actifit community, because in reality they are the ones who have the power to rule our community.
Personally I would love to see a proposal that burnt the existing SPORTS in @sports-gov, traded all assets in it to SWAP.HIVE, then swapped those to SPORTS from the pool and burnt the remaining SPORTS. I'd then like to see the ARCHON governance system dissolved. I don't think we need two DAO structures and now we have the token fund to serve as a funding DAO. I just don't know that we'd have the voting stake to get past the quorum requirements for the old ARCHON governance system.
Forget DAOs it's proven that SPS isn't ready for this right now.
Is there any way to reverse this DAO situation?
This is clearly not how we can move forward and try new approaches.
