Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Proposer left this empty.

As I have recently discovered, there is a web of familial and economic interests surrounding the applicant which I believe should be fully disclosed in this application. A non-exclusive list includes: previous dev reward recipient, shareholdings or debts related to previous dev reward or grant recipients, familial ties to previous dev reward recipients.

Additionally the Zingo Lab suite of products seems to be receiving multiple grants from multiple sources for multiple products, which makes it difficult to track any “double reimbursements”.

Given the above, I am of the opinion that Zingo Labs should disclose extensive documentation around the various grants received and for what. As well all other conflicts of interest, while not disqualifying, should be disclosed. For me, lack of disclosure is on it’s own, disqualifying.

I left this blank because I am not aware of any conflict of interest. It seems like you are? Please explain your concern so we can better understand it.

Per the fact that I am Zooko’s brother please see this disclosure from 4 years ago which accurately predicted that I would still be his brother moving forward.

Corollary: Zooko’s mother is my mother.

There is absolutely no conflict of interest in being Zooko’s brother and applying for a retroactive grant.

Since I believe that Zcash is beneficial, I actively encourage my family to be involved with it I predict this will also continue.
