BlockTrades Steem Proposal System - views sought
Blocktrades are now starting development on the Steem Proposal System (SPS) that Steemit Inc has agreed to fund.
As part of the development process @blocktrades are seeking the views of the community on what model is preferred for the ongoing funding of the proposals...
This purpose of this post is to poll Steemians and get a stake-weighted opinion of two versions of the Steem Proposal System:A proposal system that only receives funds from donations.
A proposal system that receives funds from donatations and ALSO receives funds by redirecting from existing inflation sources (no new inflation would be added to the system).
Meanwhile witness @exyle raises the question of "Do we actually need a worker proposal system?"...
@gadrian and @theycallmedan have also joined in the discussion...
Interview with Ned and Elizabeth

The discussion with Ned (@ned) and Elizabeth (@elipowell) covered a range of topics including progress with RocksDB/MIRA developments, Blocktrades and the new Worker Proposal System, the Steem Alliance, the Steem Wallet bifurcation and Steemit Inc's advertising program.
