Thank you for great project ... i think its the best project for hope to the future.

Hive ecosystem will grow

Your open source developers should qualify for free github copilot! I get it entirely for free for my Gridcoin/Bitshares contributions, so considering hive projects are also open source on github the devs should qualify (at least the largest contributors).

Smart and sharp, you've got my vote.

Apply - Submit an application demonstrating your involvement with programming as a whole (bonus points for Hive related dev)

Could you clarify this last part (bonus points for Hive related dev) ?

Shouldn't it be mandatory that the work is related to Hive?

Maybe it would be better to build more independent solution where the community could run its own service with opensource models. I'm against to pump money into Big Tech and becoming dependent on them. Since access to the service would be limited to dozens of developers(not milions of users) so maybe DHF could handle costs. I thin such solution is more aligned with the spirit of free software and free economy.

Use GAAP. The DHF has to account for disbursements, or we might as well be throwing money out a car windown on a driveby.

Also, HF28 may have had other effects that didn't impact me, but I note that I can now only cast about half as many votes as I could before it rolled out. I also note that HBDfunder comments bleed VP of whales much faster now, and roll in those sweet, sweet curation rewards with, apparently, half the effort. This focuses inflation from the rewards pool purely on curation rewards, and denies creators their share in that pool.

That's gotta end.

Thanks!

I agree having people getting used to this is quite important and will put weapons on anyone's projects. Not something for me to participate here, although I admit that it helps a lot with exploration of the code and troubleshooting.

I have been trialing with other MCPs like https://replit.com/refer/forkyishere for example, and this market of assisted stuff is going to flood the market soon enough. Which is also a bad thing in terms of how much crap will start to appear if people are not carefully making an effort to produce things that are really working correctly.

Been a crazy bump of learning this year with these things.

Eager to find out about the applicants and how you are planning to balance the type of applications areas... as in, what if (kind of dream come true to be honest) all applicants would want to work on HIVE core development and only 1 or two for tools/applications/games/etc... would the focus be trying to add 1 of each kind of thing or balance initially and if not more diversity, fill with remaining applications in order to maximize the outcome (aka people using claude with HIVE in a general sense)?

I pay $20 for ChatGPT, and I can use it on OpenCode without paying extra. I haven't tested Claude. Is it much more powerful?

I'm not much of a coder; I'm more on the PM side of things, but maybe it would be interesting for the devs in Hive account@mantequilla-soft and Hive account@aliento.

I think that the proposal is great, but it's bad timing, I guess.

Why not create the fund some other way? Why use the DHF?

If we don't approve this Hive gets left behind. The progression over at Claude is unbelievable at the moment. Normal coding is for dinosaurs at this stage.

Excited to see this pilot program! Supporting Hive developers with AI coding tools like CloudCode will definitely boost productivity and innovation across the ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing the results! 🚀

I'm not a developer, but I think it's high time for something like this. We mustn't be neo-Luddites.

We are bleeding users and price and nothing is done to address immediate problems, just more hype and nonsense. And it gets supported. Unbelievable. And people wonder why I sold a year ago at .60 cents 🙄

I have to come back to this.

Are you sure this might reduce current DHF free mint HBD? Most of these devs are using those subscriptions & enjoy $300 per day just for prompting.

How many Phases do you have planned?

I don't want to come across as negative here, because I love Hive. I've been around since the Steemit days, and the developer community is genuinely strong even if it's smaller than other blockchain ecosystems. And I appreciate that this is a modest pilot with a conservative budget. That's the right way to test an idea.

But I'd honestly rather see proposals funding specific projects and developments on Hive than AI subscriptions, even at this scale.

The proposal does mention accountability, and I think that's good. Developers showing tangible progress after each month is better than nothing. But here's where I get stuck: if we're measuring success by output anyway, why not just fund the output directly? If someone builds a great dApp or contributes meaningful infrastructure work, fund that. You skip the middleman of monitoring whether a subscription is actually being used for Hive work, because you're paying for results instead of tools.

And that's the core issue for me. There's no way to verify that these subscriptions are being used for Hive development specifically. A dev could use 80% of their Claude Code usage on freelance work and 20% on a Hive project, show the Hive project as their monthly progress, and nobody would ever know. I'm not saying people will do that, but when you're spending community funds, the structure should make that kind of thing difficult by design, not just hope it doesn't happen.

What I think would be more beneficial is starting with a list of things the community believes Hive actually needs. Tools, dApps, services, infrastructure layers, documentation, onboarding flows, whatever. Then fund those efforts directly with clear scope and milestones. Tie the money to deliverables. That way the community sees exactly what it's getting, and developers have something concrete to be accountable for.

I also want to push back a little on the 10x productivity framing. AI tools in the hands of a skilled, experienced dev are an absolute force multiplier. I've seen it firsthand. A senior developer who already understands architecture, system design, and debugging can use these tools to move at genuinely impressive speed. The AI handles the repetitive stuff while the dev focuses on the decisions that actually matter.

But for inexperienced juniors, or even some intermediate devs I've worked with over the years, these tools can be a trap. They generate code that looks right, passes a quick review, and then falls apart in production because nobody involved actually understood what was being built. The 10x claim assumes a baseline level of competence that not every applicant is going to have. AI doesn't replace the need to know what you're doing. It accelerates people who already do. That's a big difference, and the vetting process would need to be pretty rigorous to account for it.

None of this is me saying the idea has no merit. I get the reasoning, and I respect that it's being pitched as a small pilot rather than a massive funding ask. But if we're going to spend community money to grow the developer ecosystem (especially during what appears to be a bear market and negative sentiment in crypto), I'd rather see it go toward bounties for specific features, grants tied to shipping working software, or direct funding for projects that people on Hive can actually use. That feels like a more accountable path to the same goal.

In my case, I'm a senior dev and I already use these tools, so I don't need a subsidised subscription. I would rather be paid to work on a problem or task instead.

The timing is poor so I think if the authors decide to vote it through they need to:

1. Support the burn proposal,
2. Commit to not convert the HBD and use the internal market

This is a genuinely interesting and timely proposal. The idea of lowering the barrier to high-quality AI tooling for developers feels like one of those leverage points where a relatively small amount of funding can unlock outsized returns for the Hive ecosystem. The emphasis on real, verifiable output and monthly accountability is especially reassuring, because it keeps the focus on shipped value rather than abstract experimentation.
Overall, this feels like a smart way to invest in developer productivity, particularly for contributors who may have the skills and ideas but not the disposable income for premium tooling. I’m very interested to see how this unfolds and what kind of projects and improvements come out of it.

Nothing really depends on us, so why bothering with multiple proposal posts? We should burn all the remaining DHF to start funding anew

I expect this is likely to be THE most impactful DHF proposal ever if we get a sufficient number of qualified applicants.

If all the Hive programmers master using Claude Code, we should see a huge leap in productivity. Personaly, I estimate that I'm at least 10x more effective as a programmer with it.

I heard hive hackathon

Hive account@mengao Hive account@xvlad Hive account@r4topunk Hive account@shiftrox

I saw "AI Agent Developer" in the headline & decided to support this already.

Saludos,Creo que Hive debería lanzar un juego sencillo y adictivo,
como un clicker para móviles o una ruleta, que sea fácil de usar y que pueda hacerse popular rápidamente. La idea es que el juego ofrezca pequeñas recompensas en Hive u otros tokens, pero sin perjudicar el Hive orgánico, algo completamente separado de las publicaciones y los upvotes.
Estoy convencido de que mucha gente se uniría rápidamente. Solo se necesita que expertos analicen cómo este tipo de juego podría generar recursos y tener un impacto positivo en el ecosistema. No tengo mucho conocimiento técnico, ni económico, es solo una idea que se me ocurrió. .Sería genial que; los desarrolladores la consideraran y la hicieran realidad! Hoy en día, la gente busca formas de entretenerse, especialmente en un mundo tan complicado como el latinoamericano . La clave es que esto no afecte a los creadores de contenido, sino que, al atraer a más usuarios, se genere una mayor demanda de Hive, incluso entre aquellos que no crean contenido. Solo es una idea que tengo, ¡un abrazo a todos!

Yeah! sure! and i wanna apply, im doing everythig with free tier. $200 is almost my rent value! lol

I dont know if a new proposal would help with the current situation but at least it is one that look for those that can do more with less.

Regarding the scope, creating an MCP of Hive should be a priority in this case. We have use Claude Opus 4.5 and beyond the good results in many aspects, Hive remains a difficulty for certain actions. An MCP build by Hive core developers and with the use of IA to speed up the process would be heavily beneficial to accomplish a good result from this proposal.

I.... tentatively really like this as an idea to pilot test. Management is always a challenge, but frankly, you are a great candidate. Thank you, voting.

good luck

By extension especially with the new Claude multi Agent Experimental mode that launched today, if we were to approve this proposal then should development hours be cut significantly saving Hive thousands of dev hours in funding?? Also The danger is every half of Venezuela will be applying for free Claude. I trust you would manage this accordingly?

Proposal done, and all of the best with your efforts!

We don´t need more development, we need more / better marketing! The product is already decent, but nobody knows about it!

This is great I’m sure to apply.

This is definitely worth testing out. We need more developments in DAPPs that can bring in more users.

It's an easy WIN WIN for the ecosystem.

The proposal sounds very interesting and could be a great help to independent developers. In my case, I don't usually have much time to devote to these types of tasks on a daily basis, but with a tool like this, I think I could make much better use of that limited time and be more productive.

You can count on my support.

sounds like a waste since opencode kimi 2.5 is free...

PPl that are not able to use free models in combination with claude ( even 20$ one) should not get it for free.

Is like nothing on hive need to have a market mechanic.

Anyway there is a reason the token is close to worthless
