I support funding the SPS out of the Inflation Pool even if it only comes from the Author Rewards because it gives us a growing fund to do reduce the SteemIt, Inc Bottle Neck.
Community supported projects could be funded and developed independently of SteemIt, Inc's development team. These projects could be development, applications, sidechains or marketing.
If we want Steem to not be SteemIt, we have to have funds and resources. Right now we literally are SteemIt Inc, because, it is the organization funding and driving everything we do.
Discussion of the SPS and the benefits it can give have been lost in the clamor of EIP, which I am not going to talk about.
I am very much in favor of making the long-term decision to fund SPS.
