Until our current orphans are funded 6 months out, I'm pretty pessimistic on further commitments. The well being of our currently sponsored children is too important to risk on trying to do a bit more good, when all it would take is a drop in price of BTC back to sub $3k levels to dramatically impact their lives.
Well, since this commission is in effect for the most part a buffer for events like you described (BTC in sub 3k levels), I don't share your pessimism completely.
Besides that, I think that this commission will add value to Biblepay, because it will create more validity for us (having a commission handling the scanning due-diligence on new charities). I think it's great PR.
I do think that
until the orphans are funded 6 month out, we should - mostly - use any excess funds in the superblocks. They are excess because they weren't claimed with other proposals, so it's not like things like PR and IT are really missing out. Rob always waits until the last moment to create a proposal for excess funds, so there is plenty of time for others to make proposals.
So, I propose that "Donate all leftover budget to charity fund" should be something more like: "Donate
part of the leftover budget to charity fund (until we reach a 6 month pre-payment for compassion), and after that, all of the leftover budget, until a certain threshold, and burn everything above that."
That was a longer sentence than I envisioned, haha!
I want this commission to be a buffer, and not potentially become a superpower, so I want it to own a lot, but not too much BBP. Also, from the investors point of view, this commission could become a 'whale' with the potential to crash the BBP-market, and burning coins will raise the value of the rest of the BBP.
Oh Mike, since I am on of the people working on the new website, could you explain more about the 'Charity tab on Biblepay website' thing?
