• Benefits- This is in the proposal, but basically Hive needs more people holding $Hive. After 4 years of trying it seems unlikely to come from blogging rewards anymore, and will come from new apps and communities. They need off the shelf contracts that they can use and a system they can trust. If a no-code, modular, smart contract platform can't bring people here I don't know what will, and people are the only thing I think will ultimately impact price.

If you want more people and a better price for Hive kindly vote this proposal. It's a pretty small amount of money for such a large team and open source development so I think it would be hard for Hive not to get a large bang for the buck.

• P2P - Well, I thought the same thing about the P2P system myself, but then I experienced the concern and backlash from the community and I was willing to investigate. We did one attempt and it faltered, so trying again. Maybe your audience will be different.

• "Smart Engine" - I heard the news about your "Smart Engine" project in the developer meeting. From what I understood it's nearly the exact opposite of what I'm trying to build with Hive-Engine. But you're building it on the layer 2 rather than the layer 1 so I'm excited to see what comes of it.

I think the gas concept is neat. Hopefully that gets traction. It seems to help price but hinder development and use case. Again, it's in the layer 2 so many blessings of swift success.
