It's been a while since I felt inclined to write. I have decided to break my one-month holiday from #Steemit. It's been a very hot summer here and pretty much made sitting and writing not so appealing. A lot has happened in the crypto space and loads of development from #SmartCash which I shall only list here as it's been well covered by our team here on #Steemit.
With the release of 1.2.4 which now gives us the ability to vote directly from the wallet, there has been an obvious increase in participation on proposal voting. The result is that the standard which each proposal has to meet to get voted YES is significantly higher than before. What I have seen lately is, a high number of what I consider "incomplete proposals" or what I have heard referred to as "Money Grab" submissions which just seem to loop between being rejected and repeated.
The opinions expressed here are entirely mine, this is me answering the question - ***what do you look for in a proposal? There are 2 parts to what I look for. They are:
Respond to concerns and questions on your proposal in a professional manner

There are simple things I expect to see. I will use a illustration of fixing a wooden chair.
Proposal to Fix 100 chairs as most of our chairs are broken and during our meeting many people have no where to sit
I am a Certified Wood Technologist and will take on this job with my team of 10 others, each of whom will fix 10 chairs under my close supervision and this will take us 2 days
There will be a Facebook live stream daily and anyone can watch us work and keep track of our progress and we will have a countdown board update twice a day.
On the last day of my proposal I will deliver 100 fixed and polished chairs to the hall at least 30 minutes before our weekly meeting venue.**
My team and I will fix and restore the chairs to their original states which if we had to replace will cost $500 each 50000 in total.
With this amount of details it becomes clear where the money is going and it inspires confidence. Remember just because you know what you plan to do does not mean other do.
Proposals with unrealistically wide scope are likely to to fail or make little on no impact in the scheme of things. A good example of this can be illustrated with Alberta, a province in Canada. To travel from south to north can be up to up to 8 hours and the time it takes to get to the closest province at least a day's drive to the next capital city. Now it will make more sense for me to put in a proposal to reach my city of one million people than to put in a proposal to reach all of Canada or all of my Province. It is better to have a focused and targeted approach. Do not over-reach or over-promise and under-deliver; this will harm your reputation and those associated with you. Finally be honest about what you can do, do not over-sell your abilities to "impress" the community. The community will be impressed with results, not empty promises remember how long it took you to feel confident about cryptocurrencies (assuming you are!) Do you really want me to believe you can get a stranger who comes to your event to be transformed to the point of understanding wallets and everything about #smartcash in a few hours?
If all your proposal did was tell people about #smartcash and give them tokens, please do not use the word adoption its only adoption when these people start to use #smartcash or become part of the community, actively contributing to making it better for all.
