(If you are not familiar with the HBD stabilizer, please review my previous posts.)
For the next proposal, I will be maintaining the existing budget for the stabilizer, which is 500 HBD per hour. To review, this budget is used to buy or sell HBD depending on the current market price (below or above 1 USD), with the proceeds entirely returned to the DHF. Accordingly, there is no actual "cost" to the DHF. In fact, previous proposal have returned more to the DHF than was paid out. 
Over the past six months, I assess that the stabilizer budget has not been sufficient to fully stabilize HBD. There have been periods where market forces sent the price of HBD 5-10% away from 1 USD, occasionally even more. Though in every case these deviations have been relatively short. Third party speculators, along with the ongoing stabilizer trades, have contributed to bringing the HBD price back to 1 USD.
As I have in the past, I urge other community members with the necessary technical skills and community trust to submit their own stabilizer DHF proposals. Having multiple independent proposals will protect the stabilizing process from downtime by any one operator, likely improve stabilization as the proposals compete with each other to trade on deviations from 1 USD, and also allows for a higher aggregate budget without increasing the risk of any one operator stealing the budgeted payments before sending them back (or being hacked). Any interested community members are welcome to make use of the open source pseudocode algorithm used by the existing stabilizer as a template for their own implementation, but it is also likely possible to improve on it.
In addition, the stabilizer continues to receive a few thousand HBD per day from daily votes on the ten 
As noted in previous reports, we've seen HBD continue to be used for transactions for a variety of goods and services, both online and offline. I would encourage the Hive community to continue to expand use cases for HBD as well as developing new ones. These can add a lot of value to Hive both directly and indirectly.
Many people were skeptical that we would be able to stabilize HBD at all, now that we have done so quite effectively for over two years, let's show the world what it can be used for!
The existing proposal will end and the updated continuation proposal will start in a few days. If you support continued operation of the HBD stabilizer, please vote promptly for the new proposal:
