RE: The Always Up to Date Proposal to Support PeakD.com
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Lot of projects on the platform are business (esteem, busy, ...) have been funded for years thanks to an huge delegation by steemit that they use to get curation rewards. Also some of them have a witness that is still 'funded' by the Steem community.
But now that we have the SPS probably we should switch to the new pool instead of relying on the old method.
And of course if we have a successful proposal we'll probably start 'burning' or declining most of the rewards we get on our posts as that will not be needed anymore.
And it's true, we are a 'for profit company' (not much profit after almost 2 years of work by the way) but what we've done and most of what we'll do in the future will be available to every user free of charge. Most of our profits will come from 'premium' features, but we still work on a tons of things that will benefit Steem as a whole and not just our own business.
I've already said that I understand your doubts and concerns regarding this proposal, we'll just have to see what the community thinks about it.
I thought you guys had a witness, if not who have I been voting for all this time?
If you do get the proposal accepted any chance of making some of the more visually attractive parts of your front end open-sourced? Many other tribes and front ends could use a boost appearance-wise and your collage of posts is particularly appealing.
A witness outside of the top 20 is barely enough to pay for the server bills :D
We have plans to release parts of the mentioned points as open source so others can use the same material. Not sure about parts of the main website itself, but honestly I don't think there are specific place on steempeak so awesome to be useful to other frontends.
But if there are parts someone is interested in I can probably share a few snippets. I've already done this in the past with other developers who asked for specific fragments of code ;)
Fine you have me convinced, I'll vote for your proposal and tell some others to do the same :D
Great, feel free to DM me on discord if you want to talk about steempeak or if you have some feedback/suggestions ;)
