[New Proposal Added]
I don't have a sanctuary yet since my coins are stuck in C-Cex, but testing out the proposals in the meantime. (Thanks Togo for the nudge)
Here's my proposal for my auto pool mining script back in October.

Feel free to vote yes or no.
Cheers,
Sorry, but that's not how this works. All kinds of development for the coin can be good, plus, we need the miners, and I want new miners to be able to start mining without needing much technical knowledge.
But while I think development should be applauded, I don't think we should simply hand out money for things that were developed on a
voluntary basis in the past, as I think that's the wrong approach. That's why I also have concerns regarding Togo's billing of
some his activities (I think he's doing an AWESOME job btw, I just think not
all of his past activities should be compensated with monetary funds).
I'm all for submitting proposals and making this coin really work. But I think we should take the forward approach instead of a backward one. I don't want to incentivise people to go out there and do stuff and try to get money for it afterwards (not that anyone did that in the past!)
So I'm all about where we want to go
from here, and then allocate people and resources from the superblock to really make things happen.
I believe we should reward people for previous work,
Let's step through the opposite scenario:
I don't do any work for the project, I just now make forum proposals,
I wait 2 weeks while we debate, my proposals get approved and budgeted,
and then January 1st, 2018 I start the Twitter, Reddit, Advertising/Marketing, Technical Writing, Testing and Documentation.
Would this have been best for the project?
Would the project have grown as much? and been as successful as quickly?

Maybe Im a bit of a wildcard, Im not a fan of the waterfall method, bureaucracy and red tape,
I strike while the iron is hot, while Im passionate (motivated),
I take risks, I jump into unknowns and am willing to be uncomfortable,
I love the agile method, throwing paint on the wall and seeing what sticks, the creative process.
To me this is a startup company and time is of the essence.
Rob can have a fantastic product, which he does, but if no one knows about it than its not worth much.
I stepped up and filled in the missing gaps and did my best to complement my skills to Robs.

A large risk/downfall of the propose and wait scenario,
someone could propose that they will do X, Y, Z, we pay them, and then they take the money and run,
in these back pay scenarios, we already see that the work is done and the value the work has broughten
(so the person doing the work took on the risk and sanctuary owners didnt take on any risk)
I was willing to take the risk.

I want everyone to be rewarded for their work. I encourage that we back pay to people who already did work.
