RE: "What have the Splinterlands Ever Done For Us" asks the Hive Community

Very disappointed that the Splinterlands proposal has not got funding.
It is a real failure of decentralisation and calls into question whether there really is any other valid use case for public blockchains other than Bitcoin.
If Hive users are so narrow minded and detached from reality then centralised shit coins with lots of VC backing will steal all our good projects.

? Anyone who has HIVE power can vote, they only need about 15% of all HIVE power 26m HIVE power, the founder of Splinterlands himself is a witness with votes worth 73.5m HIVE POWER, and will probably be able to reach the minimum to be funded. Do you see people making posts asking for votes for the proposal? Not even Aggroed asked for it on his blog.
I don't believe they will give free money, they will ask for something. Now HIVE is not asking for anything in return, in fact splinterlands is not decentralized, it is not open source and it has not even said the plans for the money.
I agree. It's sad really. If you look at it though, are we really decentralised? The DHF threw $200,000 at a rally car whose owner sits on less than 1000HP so far in 2024. They have $22,000 HBD to a conference event in Rio whose expertise is questionable and whose total account value is $44. What are we doing?? We all know Splinterlands ain't perfect but I would be 1000 times happier if the funds were spent by them than some gym street workout in Venezuela that have no ROI. If I was anyone in the Splinterlands team I would be livid.
Is it still possible for it to get funding? Where would I go to see that?
There's still plenty of time to vote. Do you use the PeakD frontend? If so, just click your name in the top right, look for the word "Proposals", click. Look for Splinterlands DHF and vote.
I'll be sure to do that, thanks
A little soon to be jumping to that conclusion. In a decentralized environment, not getting your way is to be expected and even appreciated. If everyone thought the same way and supported the same things at all times, this would be a cult. Those aren't known to be decentralized.
You're ignoring 23m HP as of this writing. All in support. Roughly 650 votes (small turnout for such a large operation). "Hive users." All of them. "Narrow minded"... ? No. They're not.
Don't worry. I know what it's like to be frustrated. I'm not giving you shit.
Rather than claiming the sky is falling, perhaps find a few words of encouragement. I can guarantee you there are many people and a lot of HP sitting out there, oblivious to all this. And I know they'd be in support of it. If they were to stumble into your words and hear about this for the first time, they'd think it's over and there's no more time to vote.
The main issue is a simple lack of interest when it comes to participating in things like this event. Many are unaware or preconditioned to feel powerless so don't bother lifting a finger. People need to know they matter. If these systems were running at their full potential, that proposal would be backed by thousands of small votes.
Get people involved and you'll see an entirely different picture.
