Hey Sneak, good to see you again. If you're talking about the OpenSeed proposal, we're just going to give those funds right back to the community. It's more about validating the concept with our customers (Steemians) and incentivizing community contributions with free money. I agree, no products should be designed by committee and your business model should never be dependent on an unreliable source of revenue. I've learned a few things from you and from my time at Steemit ;) The SPS should be used to pour gasoline on a sound business model. It is not even a consideration in our business plan.
Most importantly, thanks for the well-wishes :)
