The proposal payouts? They are fine for now. Personally I was against the SPS but I'm glad we have it now that Steemit Inc is gone. @justineh triggered a lot of people asking for $500 a day for 2 months. I think if she had asked for $100 a day for 10 months no one would have questioned it.

People just kinda assume we got a bunch of exchange listings for free without anyone putting in the legwork, and then they just want to run around judging the ones who did all the work because they asked for compensation? I call bullshit. The network has spoken; she gets the money (as predicted). End of story.

I'm still against curation and the convergent linear curve, but I think the Decentralized Hive Fund is going to end up paying for itself many time over. I think the value and incentive generated there will increase the market cap of Hive, and that same increased market cap will generate even more HBD for the dev fund, creating a snowball effect that could launch us to the moon and beyond.

Bitching about $100-$500 a day here or there is incredibly small-minded. How many HBD would we be creating a day if we had a trillion dollar market cap? That's where my head is at.

Also, many fail to realize that devs are EXPENSIVE. Bottom-of-the-barrel entry-level untrained devs can get a base salary of $80k a year. Blockchain devs are even more coveted at like $140k a year. A blockchain dev with extensive experience in the tech you're using is easily worth $500k a year. That's $1900 a DAY. If I could get Dan to work for me I'd pay him $1M a year. Something to think about.
