RE: Proposing A Worker Proposal System For Steem
Thank you team @blocktrades for this proposal including researching a draft with your team to actually create this.
I think it is a great step for the Steem blockchain to add a worker infrastructure. I'm quite a fan of the BTS worker structure because it enables people to work on all kinds of Steem related tasks and get paid through a more "stable" payment, provided their proposal gets enough votes, then having a one time writeup about it.
If it is not to much work, would it be possible to have this "funding of the fund" also added to the options to choose from post_rewards? Iaw: 100% of these post rewards automagically go to the Worker fund. Ofcourse one can always do that after payouts, but I think it would be good to have.
Having a "refund worker"-concept in place is essential I think, just to have some "virtual vetting bar" before projects receive funds. At least that's how the 400K-refund worker feels in BTS :)
+1 on using SBD.
Totally agree on the importance of the "refund worker" concept. It's critical for setting a voting threshold.
I like your idea for the post_rewards setting that pays to the funding account. It's pretty orthogonal to the worker proposal system itself, so it could easily be implemented afterwards (and the work could be "bid" on by competing parties via the worker proposal system itself).
