Why would you do this?

Look, I value HiveSQL very much. I use it for hivedapps.com. I paid for it in the past and I'm glad that it's "free" now. You raised the price initially from 10 SBD to 20 SBD and then to 40 SBD, due to the broken peg (~0.5 I think), but even with a functioning peg you didn't go back as you argued it's due to higher costs.

The HiveSQL proposal has been funded for 5 months. 5 x 3000 HBD * 1.2 (rough peg) = 18000 USD. In Oct 2020, a month before the proposal got funded, you had 11 subscriptions x 40 HBD = 440$ income - compared to now 3600$ per month.

Are you telling us that you went through all the funds already or that the infrastructure costs increased 8x, that you had to break applications by making HiveSQL paid again?

I don't know how much of the 4950 HBD per month for HiveBuzz is going to you. Even just 50% of it would be a very nice chunk of money. Add to that your TOP20 witness pay and you get 3 different sources of income from Hive.

This should be well enough, for you to easily cover any "pause" of proposals, even ones that are done because you got paid above peg in the past.

Edit: Read your witness update. Sorry to hear that you're not too well. Wish you a good recovery. Considering that you'd not be able to actively work on HiveBuzz and the proposal probably not going to get unvoted because of that, it can be used to cover any potential "debt" accumulated over the time your proposals are paused.
