Support Team Funding Proposal - Q2 2022

Once again Winston you have shown your total Disconnected with those who are like me ( largely due to this project) or those who are just starting out. Withdrawal is not a stick , it is a reality !!! Whether it is $100 or $million , it is about the confidence to know that if you get it wrong the support is there to help make things right with a minimum of stress. Yes Winston , in 3 months if you continue to be this short sighted you bet , will be having the same discussions on how you have got it so Wrong. Lets hope in the next 3 months you become enlightened.
In the mean time a suggestion may be that as you seem more gifted than the rest of us, that you make yourself more available on discord to show you are a true community player . Helping us mere mortals also correcting conversations & moving them in a positive direction which are the Important Benefits that the present team perform !!!

The position you’re advancing seems to suggest doing the same thing while expecting different results.

The position I’m advancing experiments with a new approach rooted in economic theory to potentially gain market share.

Let’s see how your centrally-planned committees do over the next quarter.

winston can we not make atlas shrug here

Your Economics are flawed & straight from a university ( remember those who Can , Do & those who Can Not, Teach ) . Your use of Einstein’s famous observation is flawed. Here is another one, ā€œIf it is not broke, don’t fix itā€ or as you propose ā€œchange for change sakeā€ & for a lot of companies & Governments around the world, that is not working out too well right now !!!

those who Can , Do & those who Can Not, Teach

If it is not broke, don’t fix it

I’m reminded of how confident officials of the German Democratic Republic were just one month before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Maybe this time is different. We’ll see.

winston why do you insist on equating the existence of funded teams associated with a product, something that happens in pretty much every market economy, with full communism lmao

My assertion is that the inordinate funding of committees not responsible for building dapps or onboarding those who do has contributed to a shortage of dapps and dapp builders.

It’s a microcosm of the Soviet Union’s 5-year plans for steel production that undeniably worked but at the expense of advancements in agriculture.

hey Winston,

I agree with you when looking at it from a political standpoint, but maybe it’s worth separating politics from business. Secret Network is extremely small right now, the documentation is horrible and the UX is extremely bad. Before we can discuss defunding support, I think that all of this needs to be solved. In the long run you’re absolutely right in my opinion, every dApp should have their own support and it shouldn’t all be on the back of the Secret Network community.

Right now, however, we’re in a growth state, we barely have any useful dApps and we don’t have enough users that we can afford to not fund a centralized support team. It’s not about politics, it’s not about communism vs free markets… it’s about business strategy.

The issue I have isn’t that the community is subsidizing dapps.

Instead, it’s that the community is disincentivizing contributions to dapps by providing better opportunities in the form of committee lead positions that are immune to changes in demand.

The expected end result is that we have no dapps and only committee leads. Not great.

Winston, this is because teams and dapps are led by diff teams and slabs’ standards are a lot higher

Seriously !!!
