Looks like it was not the right time.
Looks like I did vote for it :)
Splinterlands, at least some of the players, remains anti-hive. Even some of the YouTubers and SL content creators. I have buttered them up by bribing or by threat over the years, so now they are much more in-line. But deep down the discomfort remains.
Finally we managed to get ourselves $250K funding from the Hive DHF. Took me massive amount of work.
Its a process.
You are only but a single individual. We all are. But as a collective, we are sometimes weaker than the one on one debates that can persuade others to alter their choices.
I am happy to be accused of being ahead of my time :D
A driven individual, or a small group of committed people can achieve a lot
In a way, we achieve a better and higher goal with hive DHF proposal.
See for yourself

Healthy. Is the HBD interest now compounding, or is it being used to fund ongoing prizing / development or as a market lever to do "buy-backs" etc?
It is compounding.
Excellent.
I could also ask my good friend, Mr Flesh Golems about this all as well. It has been too long since I've shared a meal with them. I am happy to look back upon the fun I had, and not with bitterness, but with all things, by choosing to devote attention to thing a, I am actively making the decision to neglect thing b.
Now that I'm unemployed and rather more "Free" with my time; I get to pay attention to many things, but not nearly all the things I'd like to, so I must continue to neglect some things so that I might love the other things.
He probably didn't tell you, as he a modest individual, but he is the "Chairman of the DAO" :) I kid you not. I say, I might have a hand in that too!
LOL
PS. it is mostly a position of liability and not power, but since we got ourselves a chance, why don't we mess with him, eh?
He knows where I live. I know where he lives. We can certainly mess with each other. The only thing is, we respect each other. He was even at my wedding. More dangerously, he was at my Buck's Night before the wedding.
Nobody needs to see those images. Nobody.
He has the position of power. There are always other elements.
Tagging @mattclarke so he can smile in the context of this conversation, and hopefully not publish those pictures.
In a way, you have to blame him for my presence anyway, he was the one that suggested I join (then STEEM) in the first place.
