As I said in comments, I understand your concern and appreciate the feedback. But I will correct a few points -

for being one of the people working on Hive getting listed and launched (among 80 other people)

There was a team of 4 people working on exchanges. Myself and devs. I was the point of contact and did all negotiations and planning. They can attest to that.

Not sure where you got 80 people, but no that’s not factual.

and for working in sharing the word about the Steem hostile takeover (among thousands of other people).

“Sharing the word” is a bit different than formulating a cohesive PR plan and carrying it out. This was done as early as SF 22.2. If you think just tweeting would have done the same thing, ok. Odd that thats just not the common practice then.

The proposal reflects a wage of about $40/hr
(Including past and future work). This work involves one on one conversations and negotiations with major corporations as well as dealing with legal matters. This requires vast knowledge of the platform, it’s background and understanding of the exchange and the crypto space. I’m just saying it’s a skilled job and therefore is reflected in the rate. This takes a skill I was able to provide, that others were failing at.

I understand you feel it’s not fair, and respect that. But I’m not claiming work I did not do or attempting to take advantage, so I will counter those aspects of your argument.

As far as “it will be passed because you’re popular”.. perhaps large stakeholders voting it is actually them attesting to the work I did actually do? Have you considered that? As there are a few supporting it that don't necessarily “like” me and I’ve had disagreements with in the past. Not sure they would vote such a thing for the reasons you’re stating, rather maybe they are trying to show they are backing up what I’m saying I accomplished. Just a thought.

Anyways, I appreciate the feedback and wish you well.
