 richardred | more generally, some long-standing groups like Core and a couple of others can be "trusted" to hold on to whatever excess they have after an increase in the price of Dash, if they usually do quarterly proposals they might wait a few extra months before doing their next one if the price has gone up | 11:41:39 |
| richardred | but the system itself is very simple and all on-chain, when the superblock comes all of its treasury dash must be either sent to the wallet addresses associated with winning proposals or burned | 11:43:06 |
| richardred | there are a set of proposals like this one which are quite interesting: https://www.dashcentral.org/p/catchall-1024#comments | 11:44:05 |
| richardred | they are effectively an attempt by Evan Duffield to get around the burning of unspent Dash by catching it in one of these proposals and giving it to Core | 11:45:14 |
| richardred | but they were never approved/used | 11:45:38 |
 bee | but once it is in Core's hands masternodes no longer control it, right? | 11:50:17 |
| richardred | right | 11:52:37 |

 @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] any love here for Coase's Penguin? Is Yochai Benkler's work well known in open source developer circles? | 17:09:10 |

| richardred | I've been working on something that started off as an update on Dash's treasury and newly added support services, but became much more about DAE type funding generally and Decred/Politeia. | 03:29:40 |

| richardred | I plan to wrap this up in the next few days, interested to hear your thoughts on it. | 03:31:35 |

 dezryth | Very informative! I appreciate the effort you've clearly gone through to research and pull all that information, let alone condense it in that way. | 13:19:15 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] cheers, I will try and condense it some more on the final run-through | 14:59:36 |

| richardred | just "published" the post about Dash and Decred treasuries, how Politeia could or should be used

| richardred | #writers_room is not bridged, that's my excuse for cross-posting this again 😉 | 12:07:47 |
| richardred | will do some tweets about it soon, so if anyone spots issues now is a good time to let me know | 12:08:03 |
 Haon | Gotcha, will go through it after lunch | 12:08:42 |
| richardred | nice, will hold off on the tweets | 13:39:38 |
| Haon | what do you mean with "commons based peer production"? | 14:10:41 |
| Haon | if you include concepts like this in the introduction, it might turn people away because they don't even understand the intro 😄 | 14:11:57 |
| Haon |
Projects with autonomous funding are in the minority, before diving into those it is worth considering how funding works in the space more generally, and the challenges of its effective allocation.
in the blockchain space
| 14:14:44 |
| Haon |
There are however quite a few projects which are transitioning from A to B — Decred, Cardano, Horizen (...)
should be A to C
| 14:18:24 |
| Haon |
Here’s one framing of (some of) those questions/challenges:
another major challenge is who gets voting rights
| 14:30:25 |
| Haon | and maybe also: how are votes tallied / weighted ? | 14:30:54 |
| Haon | (see for example the recent push of Vitalik to embrace quadratic voting, an approach that changes the way votes are weighted) | 14:32:16 |
| Haon |
every month the MNOs vote
you probably need to introduce the MNO abbreviation before using it
| 14:34:26 |
