Introduction

Hello Steemians!

I'm writing under #growth-ideas to get feedback from you.

First, shout out to @trafalgar and others that have inspired the idea being proposed here.

Secondly, I would like to encourage you to respond with your arguments and counter-arguments. I believe this is what the #growth-ideas hashtag is good for, to start a conversation about an idea and to hash it out.

Empowering good projects without Steemit INC being involved

There is a bottleneck right now with Steemit INC. There is only so much they can tackle before they run out of bandwidth. What I would like to propose is something like what DASH has done via https://www.dashcentral.org/ or what bitshares has done via "worker's proposal".

Basically, the network could take x% of the reward pool that is currently being divided among content creator/curator/witnesses and build a pool of funds that are to be used for funding #growth-projects that have the support of the community.

Once a project have been approved, then an official project can be posted and get funding if the project is being approved by the community.

This idea will require:

1- A Hardfork
2- Concensus on the % that should be allocated to the pool
3- An interface to submit and vote on projects

Question to the community

1- What do you think of the idea?
2- If you like it, what do you think would be a good % of reward to fund this pool?
3- If you don't, why?
