Why are you so negative? That won't help you much on your way, tweety :)
Don't forget that we are all sitting in the same boat.

... you are not entitled for the community to pay for your closed source project.

Did you read my proposal, where I stated that I'm already preparing my codebase to be open sourced in the next few months?

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but isn't SteemPeak also a closed source project that wants to get funded through SPS?

The SPS is designed where payments are not guaranteed, and the voting changes which would make proposals funded one day and not the other is normal.

I don't think so. If that's the new normal, I will go back to posting and take it from the rewards pool or by running a witness node.

Are you saying that unless you are guaranteed (the very high amount you asked for), in whole, you will not continue the tool?

Of course, I will continue the tool as long as it is sustainable. That is why I need to use a funding source that will always work, not just sometimes. I don't think that 77 SBD per day is too much, since I am doing this in full time and I also work on weekends.

Your lack of updates, clarity on what exactly you will do with funds, and posts that sounds more like guilt trips than proposals or updates aren’t the best way to go about it imo.

I don't know what your brain expects, but I am an honest human being and I will continue to be one. People seem to like my posts, so I don't see any problem in there.

You are right about the 'lack of updates' point though and I will try to do better from now on ;)

Maybe instead of trying to guilt people, you could actually show people why it’s something beneficial for all of Steem. And if the community decides its not, maybe you should charge those who seem to depend on it so much.. as I don’t really see it bringing people to Steem, more makes things easier for a few that are here, so perhaps you should pay for services that way if you are unhappy with the support you are receiving.

I won't comment much on this, but let me tell you that you are way to much focused on negative aspects, imo. I'm glad that you don't work for me, because I'm sure that I would go crazy over time... ^^

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts! After I put it through my filters, I really see a few good advices in there.
