I personally thought @justineh's ask was a reasonable one. And I thought it a courageous move from a talented woman in an otherwise very boysy crypto world.

I DO think she deserves to be remunerated. and 30K is not unreasonable AT ALL. Au contraire. The VALUE the listings will bring to Hive far outweigh the modest amount she is asking for, which is well beneath commercial rate and which has saved the community a small fortune. Measure that cost over income generated over time and it becomes a tiny ask.

The only reason I haven't voted YES to the proposal is cos I do think there MAY be others who deserve remuneration. As a plankton in the pond, I don't even know enough to know who they might be.

I'd personally like to see a series of posts from people who know, who were there (not your average algae asking "what about me? I tweeted once") suggesting who the top people are they think contributed to listings (doing exactly what for how long etc) and to Hive's successful establishment who need-deserve remunerating. A top 5-10-20 group could be voted-agreed on by the wider community and a defined sum allocated. The Yes-No of the proposal system doesn't allow for an alternative.

A quiet private standing ovation for a courageous community member who has contributed a lot and has the courage to ask for what she is worth.
