What comes to mind though is the scenario involving an account (dApp) attempting to provide RC for all, becoming successful, then not able to meet requirements. Effectively screwing themselves and causing consumers to panic or being asked to provide their own RC. In business maybe you can handle the first 10k but the next 10k expects to be treated the same as the first 10k. If something shocks the system, then they're all pissed. That's a worse case scenario that needs to be avoided. I'd still encourage accounts to provide their own RC ASAP by powering up at least bare minimum, taking the load off the products they enjoy so it can continue to run smoothly.

On a large scale, RC is easy. Most accounts use less than 1% of their RC. Most dApps should be able to easily support thousands of users with modest HP. The real problem comes when dApps don't have any real HP and they want to support a lot of users without being established. This problem can be solved though as someone can help support them although it is harder as you can't delegate RC to them and by proxy support their users as they can't distribute that RC. This is where pools were more valuable.
Right. There is a huge surplus nationwide, in a sense. And development leading to successful products can't just be for the wealthy; those able to afford enough HP to cover all RC cost. Success needs to be attainable even for someone wanting to start at the bottom from scratch. Healthy competition.
At the same time, I'm not a fan of the handout. I think there's a very delicate balancing act. I'm looking at the future rather than now, factoring in potential price surges that stick. And I hear you as well. Success for all is a group effort. If the product is worth supporting, one isn't shooting themselves in the foot by helping it out.
Just running scenarios through my mind with several dApps and several hundred thousand users, even millions. Can get to a point where things are thriving but suddenly several require bailouts, then you have to start picking and choosing. I prefer self-sustaining practices straight out of the gates every time I look. Then the surplus is there, safety measure; peace of mind. No credit crunch, in a sense.
Pardon my edits. LOL and yeah total disaster in the making handing that shit to just anyone but hey, let's learn the hard way.
