Supported!

I know how much work goes into keeping a service like this operational and active from personal experience... and it's a lot of work!

It's also very cross discipline work that requires a high level of skill across multiply complex systems. More so, while most of those complex systems share some things in common, are all unique in significant ways. Databases and networking have similar qualities... but knowing how to configure a firewall, and knowing how to run a huge sql database, are NOT even close to the same thing. There are people who specialize entire careers on just one of those things.

Even more so, this really is an 'enterprise' grade service, and at a 'bargain basement' price to the fund. It seems to me this is exactly the kind of value that differentiates the Hive ecosystem from other more financially centric applications of distributed technology.

@arcange I am really quite fond of how you designed this to be free if enough people agree to support the proposal, yet still available for a quite reasonable price if not. I think it sets a great example and is a very responsible model.

I do have a question too. I can't imagine anyone who even remotely understood how much goes into setting something like this up... especially with the size of the database... would fail to support this proposal? Is this just because of a lack of voting by a vast majority of stake holders? Or is there some other reason for this not having enough support to be funded?

Thanks for your work, and your sense of value and contribution.
