Why not just to open it, if we will reach it everyone will be happy, if not, you don`t miss anything. Am i right?
We do miss something. It's my understanding that if we don't reach your goal, the donations are just rolled into the general dev donation fund. That's all fine and dandy, except that some of us (myself included) prefer to fund specific work that we'd like to see expedited.
Does that make sense? It's in few people's interest to contribute to your proposal if it's unlikely to reach its goal. And it's in few people's interest to contribute to
any proposal if the funding system habitually allows unreasonable funding goals.
I am very tired of all of this. Lets find reasonable goals, ok. You say 700xmr is a reasonable for my proposal, ok, i will think.
EDIT: Please, think like i think of this. Chronological. Ive seen XMR GUI funding with 14000 XMR, asked to start funding for my proposal at the same place, i received LOLs and rude with no explanation, ive made GUI, and asked for funding again, received rude again, tried to understand why, after all eventually it was said to me that 14000 xmr goal was long ago (how should i know that? without your explanation), changed my mind and never claimed nor 14000xmr nor 10000xmr after that. Asked for funding again with reasonable goals. received rude again.
I can repeat again: I do want to provide GUI, I do want to opensource it, I ask for funding with reasonable goals like other proposals. You say 700 XMR is a reasonable goal, I think this is quite low compared to other tasks there, but ok, I hear you, I will think about that. And I should finish it before release.
