Thank you for your comment. The involvement of Blurt and Steem aren't really a problem because think of that part as a multi poster. Nothing is changing with HIVE, STEEM, or Blurt and a user could still exist here on HIVE posting through whatever front end they are using and not be aware of this project.
To address the funding amount and the way of looking at it someone could look at it many different ways. You ask if I would give you 90K HBD to support an idea of yours but no one is asking that with this. I'm not asking you or anyone else to send 90K HBD directly to me from your wallet to mine. The system is inflation based and HBD is a debt against HIVE. It's a little more like everyone voting to allow me to have a credit card. It's no direct skin off your back.
As far as additional devs and testers the most obvious source of the majority of that is here because they already know how to move. That being said I would have some testers that aren't really involved in crypto to see if they get confused and if it is user friendly.
I would waterfall a lot of the funds into HBD Savings to stretch the funds out with the 15% and pay existing members out of that and also allocations of the NFTs and new asset. That being said a lot of the 90K HBD ends up staying in this ecosystem but even if it did get extracted and sold it is a lot but isn't a lot at the same time. Finishing this and marketing it isn't light work. How much are devs worth? Even if you try to compare it to a yearly salary I would have to be very crafty and compartmentalized with the tasks to stretch this very far. It's a short runway.
I don't remember the "psyberx project" in particular and someone else brought up the amount of HIVE power I have currently. The most my account was ever worth over on STEEM was over $20K but had over $60,000 on Cub Finance and ultimately PolyCub last cycle. HIVE usually makes it's move late in the cycle so I let power build and bring other assets over when the conditions look right. Some are HIVE maxis but I'm on tons of different chains.
In regards to the staking with these different chains. All of that will still exist but for all practical purposes the majority of people in DeFi and people to crypto don't like the idea of having their assets locked up for months or years. If they stake they quickly want to unstake. That is why I mentioned liquid stake for the new assets and NFTs. As far as HIVE, Blurt, and STEEM nothing would change.
This isn't a knock on you or anyone else but the common thing I see on this platform with any of the support or funding is people expect someone to roll out an finished product and then MAYBE they will get support from various individuals that MIGHT push it over the edge to get funding. It becomes a very weak proposition.
It would be like Google telling me that despite my reputation, contacts, and experience I can come work for them for free as a tryout for 6 months. How could anyone expect someone to do that? What is the DAO funds for? There aren't hardly any proposals submitted outside of the tight inner circle but then most would agree they aren't excited about the price action or user retention here but the DAO funds continue to be under utilized. I'm providing a potential solution.
