54 STEEM users decided to try to help get me paid for development which means the world to me. Given the fact that basically a handful of large stake holding whales are the ones who decide which proposals get passed and who gets paid sadly it looks like my plea to seek development funding will go without being filled. While this certainly sucks ass and with it comes continued financial strain I would like to thank the folks who did show their support for my proposal.
My supporters can be viewed below.. These people are saints in their own rights for trying to help get me a daily wage to develop the site:
Big thanks to the 54 users above for voting for my SPS proposal. While the proposal isn't going to go through you folks still did what you could to try and get me a decent wage to help develop the site.. With that being said development will still continue forward but at a much slower rate given that I'm going to have to start looking for employment beyond STEEM in order to make ends meet and become self sufficient again. It is kind of unfortunate that it's basically impossible for 3rd party developers to earn enough to make a respectable living on STEEM anymore but I guess at the end of the day with the drastic decrease in price since that was a possibility it does make sense to "trim the fat" so to speak and focus funding on development outfits that have more people and an easier time pushing out constant updates on services.
Will keep pushing onwards... The next SR update should be by the end of February or so hopefully. Lots of cool new features and optimizations coming, although the honest hope is to get some community support and have a succesful SPS proposal go through or have my witness rank increase so I don't have to go work some other place. Development isn't cheap, both in fiat and time costs. Any support is highly appreciated and hopefully I can regain momentum in order to once again rise above poverty and get back on top of bills and whatnot. For a no cost to you way to support my development consider tossing the @klye account a witness vote please.
