Many, if not all, of the points you made are correct and applicable. I'm optimistic that you'll get over the threshold.
With the proxy votes, you can clearly see the disadvantages associated with them. Instead of everyone casting their own vote and exercising their own voting rights, it now depends on the proxy key holder...
When the funding starts, I hope for your sake that you can fulfil your very committed plan. Analysing/coding and several posts a week is no small feat. Unless you do nothing else.
Nevertheless, I'll keep my fingers crossed. :-D
When I first submitted the proposal, it was more out of hope than expectation so I'm delighted to see it being so close to approval. Fingers crossed that it'll reach the required level soon and I can get started 🤞
Yes.. it's a shame that the 3.5m difference could be made up by removing proxies but... I'd probably lose more votes than I'd gain if all proxies were removed so I can't complain 🙂
This project would essentially become my "professional" work which is how I intend to approach it - with the Steemit community as my client. Since I'll be working remotely, I'll need to e-mail (write a post) to my client regularly so that they know I'm making progress 🙂 Approaching the project with this mindset will definitely help me to keep the commitment required - especially knowing the effort that the community has gone to to get approval.
Having not had a project funded from the DAO for so long, I definitely feel an additional sense of responsibility (and pressure) in not wanting to let anybody down!
Ready to go?
;-)))

You have now reached the necessary voting power. I wish you success!
That is entirely possible. So let's hope that the proxy owners act responsibly. At least in your case this has certainly been shown. Although one top witness has already left because it's enough without him and his proxy votes. I don't know if that's a good thing, but I hope the necessary power remains.
Yes, then I am convinced that you can do it. And it shows once again that this is exactly what the DAO is designed for and makes sense.
This is also necessary over such a long period of time. But in that respect, you'll be professional enough not to let your "customer" down ;-))
I'm looking forward to your progress and will definitely stay tuned.
Yes - he wrote a post about it. I've asked why but he's posted something else since so it doesn't look like I'll get a reply.
