That is not true. A thread was started on the forum and the community supports reward for miner development. As a result of widespread community support for miner development, there will be a miner request for proposal (RFP) to fund work in this area. The funding process works differently compared to what we've seen in the community thus far. There is no bounty system. The entirety of the the Decred development team supports reward for tpruvot and his contributions are not ignored. A bounty would have to come from the developers personally, but we have no funds to do so - all developer funds are locked for 12 months (28% of funds) and 24 months (72% of funds). That means the developers your refer to have nothing to gift as bounties presently.

The development subsidy funds you mention are available for development funding. However, all those funds are tied to a process that must be followed. It's written in the Decred Constitution. I do understand your frustration, but it does create a difficult situation when you ask for funds when no such work was asked for. The project then looks like the bad guy for not being able to accommodate that (after it was developed) without following the funding process. I have personally been contacted by a few people who have expressed a desire to address this, and I've responded to them asking for ideas and proposals of what the miner community would benefit from the most. So I want to ask directly and publicly, what is the optimal outcome for what can be developed in the future in this area, so that an RFP can be developed for this purpose. What will serve the common good for all miners? I would like to ask for input so we can identify areas of need, fill them, and stick to what's part of the process. You would be pretty upset if the project didn't stick to the process outlined.

It's really important to understand it's not just up to the current Decred developers to decide who gets what and send DCR their way. The funding framework was established exactly to avoid misuse of funds and show transparently where funds are spent. The downside of this is that it's a longer process, due to the checks and balances and the reliance on community input. These are worthwhile sacrifices if the outcome is responsible fiscal policy. So get involved, express openly what you'd like to develop, why it's important, and then let's all work with each other and put together a proper miner RFP that many parties can join in on. It's about maximum impact that everyone can benefit from - those are important goals for funding development projects as RFPs.
