Thanks a lot for those clarifications @aquietinvestor, that was very helpful.
While in the process of pushing my vote, I realized another vulnerability to the procedure I have suggested for transparent wallets: replay attack. I’ll admit some frustration because for me it’s a bit of a process to figure out attacks that must stick out like a sore thumb to the elite cryptographers, paid by the dev fund, we supposedly have in here.
Anyway, adding a date within the time range of the vote, I believe, solves this. Glad we’re going to ramp up voting regularity so we can get better at this.
As discussed at length in a related thread, this poll does not have the legitimacy to result in the alteration of the inflation distribution in any way. Ideally, we would have on-chain governance to make all this very neat and straightforward but I understand it isn’t an option at this point. However, we could, and absolutely should at the very least, have a Zcash Improvement Proposal (ZIP) that would precisely define the polling procedure, which itself would include how it would be interpreted, among other things. Currently we have absolutely nothing, anywhere, that defines how this vote will be interpreted.
For that reason, and very much in alignment with my first message on this forum, until we have a poll that has the necessary legitimacy to make substantial changes to the protocol, I will be against any further usage of the dev fund.
As for the second question. Because of what I said above, and because I believe it would be against the interests of the project, as well as mine as a stakeholder, to delay the critical work that has been started, I have therefore voted against prioritizing the extension of the dev fund.
I have sent my vote the the wallet created for this poll and was able to see it in Ywallet using the View Key provided above. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do this using zcashexplorer.app/vk which returned an error (" There was an error when importing the VK. Invalid Input ").
