Please respond to the clarification questions in the comments section below.
Please respond one question per comment and put the clarification number at the start of the comment.
(4) About terms of delegation:
(4.2) Under what terms (if any) did you receive the delegation?
Please confirm that you accept that any approval of this delegation renewal becomes the terms for your future delegation.
(5) Market
(5.1) What is the current scope?
(8) Business Strategy
(8.3) How will your business strategy increase the amount of STEEM being powered up and/or burnt?
There is a strategy for revenue here? Note for a spam project, this isn't really required, but just curious
(9) KPIs
(9.1) Would like to see some measure of impact from removal. Suggested: accumulation of computation of reward without downvote + reward with downvote, if about removing reward pool abuse.
(13) Renewal Metrics
(13.7) What is the total quarterly (USD) value of rewards disbursed directly tied to the delegation? (can be a negative number of your projects is a flagging project)
Would like to see some metric here.
(13.14) Describe what value the project continues to bring to the Steem community and why the community should continue to support your project?
a) Can some of these goals be reflected in metrics? How often have you been able to redirect phising attempts, or prevent identity theft cases? etc. Are those categorized?
b) Can this the steem delegation from this project, spamminator and MacBot be combined into one delegated pot, and consolidated into a smaller delegation for educational / anti abuse initiatives? Please justify you answer by providing a calculation of the amount of Steem power delegation required by all three of these projects which demonstrates the continued need of the all the delegated Steem to the projects (1.5M + 2.8M + 0.261M = 4.5M Steem power)
c) Provide an example scenario for when all of the steem power delegated to these projects are currently being utilised for down voting on the same day such that all 4.5M SP are required.
d) Following Hard fork 21 please justify whether the community needs a centralized service to continue down voting content.
(13.15) Describe your project roadmap with expected timelines and milestones.
Please confirm that this project is attempting to decentralise and in some way anonymize its moderators in order to reduce risk of large, abusive whales attacking individual moderators based on their downvotes through spaminator.
