Explanation of proposal costs
90% of these funds will be used to develop new features and 10% covers server costs. Plus Witness earnings from @good-karma which is already dedicated to this mission, additional funds will help us scale our team of developers, more actively grow our development efforts to help newcomers. We also have regular newsletters and press-release updates to help with Hive and Ecency branding.
We would like to allocated some dev resources towards Hivesigner.com which has been idle in past few months. Allocate some resources towards Hivesearcher.com. New project Hivexplorer.com could also be extended to be informative and easy to navigate like etherscan, other popular block explorers, all opensource.
Benefits
- Fastest, secure, feature-full, unique and opensource website frontend, mobile application and desktop interface. Dedicated infrastructure to support and serve ever growing visits.
- Image hosting instance that can serve you even oldest images from years ago. Try it our on ecency.com and you will know what we mean, open any post older than 3-4 years and see if images load for you. We noticed some images are visible in our instance that are missing from images.hive.blog instance.

Edit history here: @ecency/ecency-development-and-maintenance-3?history
We have 9 developers and getting all of them full time is not reasonable ask, so we are load balancing it, all interconnected because some of us bring multiple skillset to the team, some of us full time, others part time.

- Daily possible funding on Decentralized Hive Fund is ~193,760 HBD

We understand that during the duration of our proposal we may get partial funding sometimes, no funding sometimes. But it won't stop us from developing and delivering. We hope you see value Ecency team brings to Hive and support us in common vision and goal!
