Hi Solar... I do agree to some of the concerns It's important that those of us that wish to question things and ask for accountability should remain doing so.
For example, I've been advocating for a budget performance matrix for all funded projects. I've been willing to donate handsomely for this kind of thing where everyone is being held accountable via a standalone website.
There are literally 10s of thousands of dollars being dished out... And no accountability. I purposed before the holidays that we set up an independent site that that strictly evaluates funding proposals performance as well as a complete detailed information on all aspects of the individual budgets, who they are, how much was the proposal worth in a couple of currencies what were the deliverables etc etc. Then finally a rating of how well the budget proposal did at fullfilling it's duties... This could even be voted on.
This is how we can help everyone in community to remain confident that funds parties are being given, are held accountable by the whole community.
Thanks. You you have the right idea. The simplest solution is to downvote every proposal that doesn't give acceptable updates. That could even be forced by a vote reset every month.
Maybe we post a budget proposal to fund a separate independent site that does what we are talking about. At least at that point...the community as a whole can evaluate for themselves what is and isn't being done for example...and how much DASH is being given out. With the amount of money now being generated by the budget system...there now needs to be oversight. The problem as I've stated on the slack channel today is there is just way to many moving parts and certainly there isn't enough oversight over all the pieces. I would propose to create a committee that sole goal is to evaluate, collect and report on information regarding all budget proposals and the people and company involved. The purpose...transparency. This committee can be made of anyone that is concerned DASH community member. It should be independent of core dev team and master node operators if possible.
In fact I'm sure we could have community members donate DASH to maintain the site and any out of pocket costs and should NOT be funded from the superblock to be impartial.
I would volunteer to create a Wallet address for donated funds to the project and report on a monthly statement by my accounting firm the status of said funds. I offered to start with 50 DASH in the slack channel...but I couldn't get TAO to connect with me...I would still certainly do this still...and I'd be willing to donate more.
Thoughts?
I think this is an excellent idea. Do you have an example or idea of what this would look like?
