Thank you for your detailed response.

1 @Steem.Dao is not 2 days old it has been around for over half a year and was never fully utilized. There is a 400k hbd warchest.

2 Why can't games be for profit and the person who owns the game use the profits to support and market it? Luckily we don't need to pay for marketing, we have hundreds of posters marketing as it is. Why do new users need Dao funds? Steem didn't have Dao when most of us joined and it wasn't half as good as HIVE is now.

3 Most of those accounts will not ask or get their stake back. They declared war on the witnesses and strongly supported Justin Sun, at least the major ones did. They have to submit a proposal and beat the return proposal, it's not going to happen for most accounts.

A hackathon is a great idea. How much hbd are you suggesting? I am just suggesting to burn some of this inflation, seizing control of an arbitrary amount of tokens and using it for future unplanned development is ridiculous, we are talking about 20% of all tokens on a chain that is well developed.

Best of luck with your proposal!
