Atm the fund has 200K sbd and growing and not many projects have enough votes to get funded so funds sitting there
That's the problem with individuals/proxies who decided to squat on the return proposal or trying to flex some muscles about their childish and ignorant views.
They think they are making a statement, but the only thing they are doing is causing those who are interested to build and vest their time to become disinterested.
If stakeholders feel things like a public node are not worth funding, then they deserve a failed ecosystem. But hey, not like some of them with millions of SP actually know what the hell they are anyways.
Some of them still think they are invested in Steemit after 3+ years.
Yip the return proposal has too much support, I agree with you there. People being penny wise and pound foolish. Ridiculous how @anyx can't even get his $15 per day proposal funded for key infra that most apps actually use. When the anyx node is down half of Steem is down.
Don't worry when I get the sbdpotato project stabilised and at a point where it needs to be, I will go on a crusade against that return proposal. One thing at a time, I don't have the personal bandwidth for everything.
