Es muy buena

Good

This is truly a matter of pride, as this decision shown Ecency's commitment to Hive. Thank you for providing us with this wonderful platform for blogging on Hive. I hope the markets will improve soon and Hive will trend.

Ecency and all DHF projects need a financing plan BEYOND DHF, how can income be generate without depending, at the end of game, on people buying HIVE on exchanges?

Me siento agradecido Hive account@ecency
Gestos como estos dicen mucho del compromiso con la decencia y el crecimiento comunitario.
Feliz de estar junto a ustedes.
Éxitos.

Thanks for the explanation.
Clarifying things and giving explanations for the changes that are made help build trust.

Is there a path for profitability or would you parasite Hive forever?

I'm proud to be part of the Ecency Community! Thanks for leading the way to make Hive a better place for all of us! ❤️

Really, you are showing a good way to lead by example for this step that you have taken. It is a hono

Ya que reciben fondos, pueden publicar su balance de pérdidas y
ganancias? Acaso las tiendas de aplicaciones no les pagan por las descargas?

Por cierto, hay testigos que no reciben ni 100 dólares de recompensa y corren un servidor.

Podrían detallar por qué me necesitan esa suma. Es mucho dinero 🤑

My respect for the great work you do fostering community and responsible growth. I hope many more people will join us with the idea of ​​growing together.

This is a responsible decision, and I hope it will be sufficient in these difficult times. I don't know what others expect, but to me, the purpose of DHF seems clear: to support the development of Hive applications. Now, if someone thinks that development should be stopped, especially for those applications that have proven over the years to be progressing and attracting new users to the ecosystem, then we are not living on the same planet.
But if we have already reached the point where nothing can help anymore, then the DHF should be abolished for all activities.

Thank you for letting us know.
Building trust in the entire Hive ecosystem is a continuous process that is essential both at good and bad times.
I had an idea the other day, but I'm not sure whether it can be effective in practice.
The content that is uploaded to different Hive platforms every day is massive.
It is indexed by search engines and AI bots, I guess, isn't it?
AI bots use it to answer queries etc., essentially taking advantage of it without the Hive blockchain and its users receiving any benefit in return.
Recently, various platforms and applications have been developed, such as Copyright.sh, for example, to help creators license and monetize their content that is used by bots in one way or another.
Could the Hive content platforms make use of such a facility to monetize the content that is used by AI bots to compensate Hive writers, commenters, posters, and curators?
This could be in the form of an accumulated pool/fund that is fed with AI licensing fees.
These fees, or a percentage of them, could then be distributed/shared among the Hive creators and users who are involved in the creation of the content, that is the community, in fact.
That is the general idea, anyway.

You all tried to program users that we are here for technology 💁‍♂️💁‍♂️ , so I ask you to put it at least 20 HBD or 0 💁‍♂️💁‍♂️ , sorry man , I have lost everything a long time ago, but you are still playing with user time and money what comes from are all HP wallet .... and there is no change still. Is Ecency earn some 30 % or 40 % from outside the HIVE world some extra money to buy HIVE also up and put it in HP , **the answer is No ** ... and because of this, sales are also continuing every month in the market. It is the same with all other big apps too 💁‍♂️

I been here 9 years , Yeah, who the f..k hell cares, but that's why I'm no longer interested in the promises you all make. Sorry man , i just not have more trust . Thats i not give HP and thats why i not hold it 100% in HP also more . 💁‍♂️💁‍♂️

Your decision to reduce the daily proposal request from 396 HBD to 300 HBD truly speaks volumes about your leadership and integrity within the Hive ecosystem.
In a space where many projects might simply ride the waves of market fluctuations without adjustment, choosing to proactively respond to changing HIVE prices shows maturity and long-term vision. It reflects not just financial awareness, but deep respect for the community treasury and everyone who supports the proposal system.
What stands out most to me is that this reduction is voluntary. That says everything. It tells us this is not about survival mode or scaling back ambition — it’s about stewardship. It demonstrates that development and responsibility can go hand in hand. You are proving that sustainability is not just a buzzword but a principle guiding your operations.
The fact that your budget was already tight, lean, and optimized makes this even more commendable. It’s easier to cut when there is excess. It’s much harder to trim when you’re already operating efficiently. That discipline shows careful planning and a strong commitment to delivery rather than waste.
Market cycles are part of crypto. HIVE rises, HIVE falls — but credibility and trust are built in moments like this. By adapting instead of ignoring reality, you strengthen confidence in your project and set an example for other proposal teams.
This kind of transparency reassures stakeholders that funds are being handled thoughtfully and that long-term sustainability is prioritized over short-term comfort. It reinforces the idea that the health of the ecosystem matters just as much as the success of any individual project.
Thank you for choosing responsibility, foresight, and integrity. Decisions like this are what help the Hive ecosystem grow stronger and more resilient over time.
