If I remember well, @imransoudagar told me that proposals can work if I'll contact the team and tell them about the project I would like to create. Otherwise, I tried to write a proposal here : https://ecosynthesizer.com/blurt/proposals and I couldn't. That didn't work for me. Of course, I hope to see there a lot of proposals, that will make the blockchain very attractive for me as an investor and I could put a lot of money in blurt. By the way if anyone wants people to buy blurt, by activating those proposals they will push people to buy more blurt, and that may push the price up.

Proposals were always welcome but it was never marketed.
People have been writing proposals in Blurt since day 1.
In the beginning... People wrote proposals to get delegations to start curating content.
Eventually the foundation stopped giving Delegations as they were being misused.
I think there were a total of 27 curation accounts.
@Nabeeel recently received 30,000 Blurt to start making Blurt branded footwear.
And let me clarify that there is no need to submit a proposal on the Ecosynthesizer website. Anyone can write a post and send it to the team.
Ok, I hope people will start writing proposals not related to curation or delegation. It's also interesting to know about more of those projects who get funded after writing a proposal.
Why was it not ever put to community vote the way proposals work elsewhere? I'm not understanding why the community never had a voice in proposals.
I just said the same thing. I personally would have voted to bring in @world-travel-pro 's cousin who is a professional marketer for Disney than give it for shoes. I don't remember seeing any of these things even spoken about let alone offered for a vote.
Yeah, I had a conversation with nabeeel down below on this comment string 5 days ago on this. I asked him to enlighten us on how he went through a process for such a proposal that was successful but got no answer.
You know shit is jacked when there are valid concerns and questions being raised on both sides and so many dick moves that the valid concerns from both sides get lost in the shuffle.
I just saw Jacob has returned. He was the reason I decided to give this thing one more try after Hive and Steem. I have some questions for him, but if he is staying there will be some semblance of sanity and stability returning. He is a good man.
Where were you sleeping for 2 years
Now you looking for everything, that happened or not happened from blurt foundation :/
Project is under development
but nabeel is already within the witness circle and I don't see anyone else getting any say over whether they think it's worth spending 30 k on shoes when @world-travel-pro was offering to bring in a genuine working marketer to be proposed. I personally do not like seeing only proposals passed without some kind of vote or show of interest from the community.
Has World Travel Pro written a proposal? I had asked him to write a proposal or ask his cousin to do so.
I've seen him share several posts about it and he bought his cousin on here to make a post which, she did with suggestions and it was just completely ignored. Why is the community not allowed to vote on things? I mean I don't want to make things personal but I doubt many people would vote on giving someone $700 to make sandals with a blurt logo on as a first use case for money from the fund. I mean I personally feel someone like @clixmoney has been doing more. Thats just my personal opinion and if 65 percent of people think that money spent on making shoes is the best way to spend the blurt fund then I would say that won the popular vote, but who actually voted on this proposal of making shoes? I too would be interested to see the full list of everything the foundation has given money to and what it has been used to fund.
He needs to write a proposal and give details of what he want to do.
If he mentions in his post that he wants his cousin to market Blurt then how will we (general users and the foundation) know that it's a proposal?
I spent 3 hours answering his questions on record and I shared everything.
Well that’s the thing you were there when he asked. His cousin wasn’t a veteran blurt blogger but I heard him ask if they could set up a call with her and the team or md to have a chat about how she could help and it jsut all got ignored then someone gets 700 dollars to make some shoes. It just all seems crazy to me.
I remember him asking and I assured him that I'll help him talk with the team. But what happened after that? He didn't text me nor did he write a proposal.
I am still here and waiting if WorldTavelPro or his cousin would talk to me about it.
No one ignored them. WTP just talked about it and then forgot.
He should have texted someone.
He still has time. Let him write a proposal and send the link to the team.
How can he text someone we don’t have anyone on text? I really don’t know what someone can do beyond mentioning it multiple times, asking if they can arrange a call and getting her to go on and make a post and outline who she is etc. This is someone in the real world, who is a professional of course at this point she’s likely lost all interest and just thinks it’s really unprofessional. People aren’t like that in business they say let’s jump on a call and then a call is arranged. I’m sure she’s well over helping at this point. I mean I specifically saw him ask so many times and really try to get in front of the witnesses who could assist and I could just see how uninterested anyone was to chase it up. I really wouldn’t care if someone gave her time, spoke to her and decided it wasn’t right for blurt but the opportunity was just literally ignored then someone immediately gets handed 700 dollars to make some shoes of course it looks bad. She was doing it really as a favour because it was interesting to her and she has family on blurt. She doesn’t need work or anything it was up to someone to actually look a bit interested in pursuing it. To me it’s insane blurt would just totally ignore the opportunity of a top marketing professional helping them but just give money to someone to make some sandals without question. It’s like no one gets any input in decision making of how the fund is used, it’s just md choosing who he likes it seems to me.
And you are right anything that has a Blurt logo gets more exposure 😂
has any money actually been given to proposals by people outside the witness circle/people int he witness discord/ that know the witnesses very well on a personal level?
Blurt Step is the first project to be funded. A lot of people have written proposals but most of them just ask for Delegations. I guess only Nabeel thought out of the box and asked for Blurt Step.
but to where? I mean we asked how to make proposals many times, @clixmoney did multiple posts about it, @world-travel-pro asked about his niece who is a professional advertiser for Disney who was willing to help blurt for a mates rate type price and no one really ever told anyone how to apply.
I have told this several times. Make a post and share your ideas about what you want to do, how you want to do and if you have any experience then share it too.
Mention what kind of funding do you want and what will you do with it.
Post it. Send the link to a Blurt team member or me and we'll share it with the team and see how it goes.
@world-travel-pro 's cousin I think it was made a post and we spoke about it with witnesses in a call and no one bothered to comment on it or engage. This was someone who literally did marketing for Disney who was willing to work for blurt for a low rate. How exactly was this shoe proposal made? can you link me to the original proposal and was it not discussed in the witness discord group at all? You have to see how from the outside it looks like money is just thrown at random projects because the person is friends with MD and no one else even has a say or is aware of these projects being funded.
I imagine he asked cause he is already in the witness discord and knows how to personally approach everyone, I think it would have been nice to see a vote on proposals like they have over on other platforms to see if anyone thought this was actually a good use of money.
