Yes, thats absolutely correct, afreer!

But if all tiny proposals are smashed, we inhibit innovation culture. Even if a proposal seems to be junk, it's worth to spend a few DASH on it and to see what's the outcome. In many times, new ideas spin out, which might lead to serious improvements of the DASH ecosystem.

I strongly encourage all masternode owners to allow 50-100 DASH to be spent each month on 1-3 tiny junk proposals, to educate people on using the budget system and provide soil for innovation!

I agree we need to promote more proposal creation but viewing the Dash network as an autonomous entity I think it probably won't be persuaded to pass 'junk' proposals because the economics dictate that the network will generally only fund proposals that are in its financial interest to do so.  I think genuine proposals that are well presented, priced attractively and present a viable case to return value to Dash users are the best strategy if you want to get network approval.  Plus, even if you present a good argument for test proposals on Bitcointalk, you won't reach non Bitcointalk users, users who don't read English, users who don't comply and so forth, but that's a good thing because if it was easy to sway decisions that don't add value the governance system wouldn't be decentralized or fit for purpose.

I think the main inhibitor in the lack of non-core DGBB uptake is because the team are busy with Evolution development and there hasn't been much education or promotion of DGBB and the incentives it provides yet although i'm sure this will come later.

Therefore my personal view would be to encourage users outside the core team to go ahead and make proposals and not be afraid if other users comment that they are junk or not and if you get knocked back by the network decision then learn from it and try again.  The protocol lets you propose whatever you want and we need to find out the strategy and proposals the network will tend to approve as Dash moves forward and grow a competitive ideas market that produces action that adds value to Dash outside of the team proposals, because the idea is this will produce better governance than any traditional monolithic leadership can.

I'm sure there are lots of users looking for paid work and there are lots of things Dash needs that they could do outside of the team's activities and there is also practically no competition between user proposals.  Perhaps we just need to promote this more on the various community channels to make more people aware that there is autonomous funding available if you want to work for the Dash blockchain and it's a good way to earn Dash and help the network grow, if anyone has some free time to do this is might be a good idea to start putting DGBB to wider use!
