RE: The HiveSQL proposal needs your support

in HiveDevs2 years ago

Supported!

I know how much work goes into keeping a service like this operational and active from personal experience... and it's a lot of work!

It's also very cross discipline work that requires a high level of skill across multiply complex systems. More so, while most of those complex systems share some things in common, are all unique in significant ways. Databases and networking have similar qualities... but knowing how to configure a firewall, and knowing how to run a huge sql database, are NOT even close to the same thing. There are people who specialize entire careers on just one of those things.

Even more so, this really is an 'enterprise' grade service, and at a 'bargain basement' price to the fund. It seems to me this is exactly the kind of value that differentiates the Hive ecosystem from other more financially centric applications of distributed technology.

@arcange I am really quite fond of how you designed this to be free if enough people agree to support the proposal, yet still available for a quite reasonable price if not. I think it sets a great example and is a very responsible model.

I do have a question too. I can't imagine anyone who even remotely understood how much goes into setting something like this up... especially with the size of the database... would fail to support this proposal? Is this just because of a lack of voting by a vast majority of stake holders? Or is there some other reason for this not having enough support to be funded?

Thanks for your work, and your sense of value and contribution.

Thank you for your support and for sharing your own experience.

I can only agree, this is how I'm used to working and the level of service the people I work with have always been used to. It is sometimes disappointing that some do not perceive it and I am happy that you give an experienced opinion on this subject.

Is this just because of a lack of voting by a vast majority of stake holders?

In terms of the number of voters, the proposal is in 7th position, which in my opinion is not a bad score. It seems that it is many less powerful voters in terms of HP who support the project rather than the big stakeholders.

Or is there some other reason for this not having enough support to be funded?

The only ones who could answer that question are people who do not support the proposal.

Once again, thank you for your support.
