Hello Dear Blurt community,
As you may know, I am one of the top 20 Witness (i.e. block producers) of the Blurt blockchain. It has been a successful 8 months since I launched my professional-grade Witness server hosted in a top-tier European data center. Throughout this period, my server has undergone some hard forks and has an impressive track record of registering hundreds of thousands of blocks on the blockchain, missing only four.
In addition to my successful Witness server, I have accomplished other significant milestones during this time. Specifically, I created and made available to the community an RPC node that integrates the NEXUS community system for which I pay at a loss the cost of maintenance and operation each month. I also provided valuable support and guidance to fellow developers working on Blurt blockchain. Moreover, I contributed to the community by developing open-source tools and libraries for Blurt, which can assist in onboarding new dApp developers. It's worth noting that I made also substantial investment by purchasing 1,400,000 BLURT from various exchanges during this same period.
Furthermore, six months ago, I embarked on developing BeBlurt, a comprehensive dApp for the Blurt blockchain that integrates governance tools, a user-friendly frontend, and advanced statistical analysis tools. I am continually working on new features, with more exciting updates in the pipeline.
Hence, I strongly believe that now is the right time to seek the BLURT decentralized fund's support by submitting a proposal.
What is the The Blurt Decentralized Fund (BDF)
The Blurt Decentralized Fund (BDF) is a community-driven decentralized finance platform that operates on the Blurt blockchain. The BDF was created to provide financial support to Blurt ecosystem projects that contribute to the growth and development of the platform.
The BDF operates through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that allows stakeholders to collectively make decisions on funding proposals. Anyone can submit a proposal for funding, and the community votes to determine which proposals will receive funding.
The BDF operates transparently, with all funding decisions and transactions recorded on the Blurt blockchain for anyone to see. This transparency ensures that the community can hold the BDF accountable for its funding decisions and promotes trust in the organization.
Proposals can range from technical development to marketing and community building initiatives, and are subject to community review and approval before funding is allocated.
By incentivizing participation and contribution, the BDF aims to create a sustainable and thriving ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders. It operates on the principles of transparency, decentralization, and community empowerment, and aims to create a more equitable and inclusive financial system.
Goals and Objectives:
The main goal of this proposal is to recover the investment made in previous efforts and projects, as well as to continue supporting the Blurt blockchain community. In addition, the proposal aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Continue developing and improving existing open-source tools, while also creating new tools as needed to enhance the Blurt blockchain ecosystem.
- Maintain and develop the Nexus RPC node architecture for the Blurt blockchain to ensure efficient and reliable access for everyone.
- Continue to provide high-quality assistance, advice, and support to developers in their Blurt dApp development efforts through a variety of channels.
- Create a dedicated portal for the Blurt blockchain that includes projects/dApps/tools listing, block explorer and a comprehensive developer documentation.
- and so on, it depends of you
Achievements on Blurt
Blurt RPC nodes checker:
Checks the status of the RPC nodes servers (latency, availability, methods) of the Blurt blockchain at a specified interval and sends a report via a RxJS subscription. The library also allows you to identify the compatibility of an RPC node with Nexus (communities on the Blurt blockchain) and to adapt the full test accordingly by including the Nexus methods.

Budget:
The proposed budget for this proposal is 3,500 BLURT/day ($447.95/month at the current price) during a period of 1 year.
Conclusion:
A new and fresh wind is blowing over Blurt, I believe that the current status quo on the Blurt decentralized fund (BDF) is ripe for change, and I hope that my proposal, along with @khrom's before mine, will inspire others.
I firmly believe that the Blurt decentralized fund (BDF) can serve as an excellent means of support to advance Blurt towards success and attract more developers and marketers to the platform.

You have my full support. Just voted for your proposal and khrom's one too. Looking forward to seeing you both at the top of the proposal list.
Thanks a lot for your support :)
I think BeBlurt might become (if it isn't already) the PeakD of Blurt. I'm loving where you're going with all this. Supporting this proposal is a no-brainer.
I'll reblog this and try to get more attention on it. You definitely deserve to get remunerated for your contributions.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! When I first joined the Steem blockchain back in 2018, there were only a few frontends available, such as Steemit and Busy. However, as an author, I found them lacking in features that I needed. I had always wanted to create my own frontend, but due to my job and other responsibilities, I never had the chance to do so. Some months after, new frontends like Steempeak and eSteem emerged, and I put my idea on hold. Now that I have more time and Blurt being an interesting blockchain with potential, I thought it was a great opportunity to take this idea back as well as some others I have in stock.
Congratulations!
You have recieved a coconutty upvote! 🥥

My answer is same as to @khrom, which is no. Proposal system is broken anyway. By the way, did you know that every week this blockchain prints more than 760K new BLURT? At least half of that total goes to megadrive. Week after week.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable if these
gained with "fake stake" funds would go to the developers instead of into his pocket?
In my opinion, DAO should be removed from this blockchain and megadrive (guy who doesn't want to burn fake stake) should delegate it to people like you, fervi, khrom and a few others.
Firstly, thank you for your manual (I owe you that much for being a manual post voter!) 100% upvote, reblog, and making your comment short.
I must admit that I find your early stance somewhat surprising given that you are an investor in Blurt. I was hoping you would support other proposals, not immediately but a little later to see if our proposals move the needle, in addition to your own, even if that excludes mine.
Regarding the issue of the proposal system being broken, I don't quite see how it is unless you are referring to the fix (the recount
proposal_votes_forin all account) planned in the next hardfork.Furthermore, I don't understand how denying funding to external developers and marketers, such as @khrom, myself, or others, who could potentially help grow Blurt, would negatively impact @megadrive to a greater extent than it would impact your own investment in Blurt. Besides, I doubt that @megadrive is particularly concerned about whether or not my or @khrom's proposal is validated.
In any case, both of our proposals remain valid for the time being, and I hope that they will encourage action from all sides and others to also try to make a proposal. I encourage you to revisit the proposals later on, and see who is voting for what.
Personally what I expect from the foundation is to support the costs of the primary architecture (official RPC nodes, official image proxy servers, official portal, blocks explorer, etc...) as well as providing viable tools for developers (like Testnet), the development of the Blurt core, and ensure the sustainability of the blockchain. The external devs (and others) must keep their independence via a financing mainly covered by the system of proposals.
I’m curious what type of developments in Blurt do you perceive deem for funding?
ok but the lack of funding for developers, infrastructure and the best ideas will discourage anyone from doing anything and @megadrive probably won't let go anyway.
You can give him an ultimatum, but he set the situation in such a way that he will be ahead anyway because he can withdraw the fake stake from blurt booster at any time and it will be a disaster. Not to mention that of course the blurt booster still creates money.
So I understand your approach, but what do you propose instead? Instead of developing blockchain, doing promotion or new applications, we will write posts to get donations?
The second thing is that from the point of view of the promoter it looks very bad. Dao is a key element of dppos. This reduces the potential for attracting new people.
