Hive account@lordbutterfly's new Hive Marketing Proposal has jumped into the funding zone receiving over 28M HP after just one day.

Also today Hive account@smooth's main HBD Stabilization proposal dropped below the Return Proposal and so lost funding, however the supplemental proposal remains in the funding zone.

He is seeking 35 HBD/day for a trial period of 2 months to work on extending Hive account@poshbot to cover Reddit rather than just Twitter...
