Define private gains.
The fund pays blocktrades (I'm not opposed to this) who also has a business which we don't own and I'm certain is profitable.
I've never been a fan of the potato/spud project, but I think proposals should be judged by their value to the platform vs. whether or not the person doing the work is making money. Hive is not a charity.
Funds were not paid from DAO to make money or to pay for service/work. The only purpose was to keep the HBD/SBD peg by converting/trading them. But instead, community-owned funds are used for something else.
Blocktrades is paid for his work on Hive, while HBD Potato is a non-profit project (at least it should be, based on promises by its operators).
Lol that's like peeps trusting @ned's words about “community funds”.
Words are worthless. Try code next time. Can't fall for the same schtick multiple times.
It's not community owned though. Once money is handed over, that's kind of it (which I get is part of your multisig solution).
