Community Polling on Funding Model ZIPs

I have listened to the latest call (https://x.com/Zcash/status/1912580814958735817) and found it quite interesting, thank you to everyone who expressed themselves.

@aquietinvestor I get your arguments and I appreciate your approach.

I would be willing to support the Community and Coinholder Funding Model (C&C) as well. And like you, I would want to see the voice of stakeholders be increased over time.

But, I would ask that the vote becomes legitimate in return.

  1. Poll as much of the community as possible first, so that stakeholders can take the community opinion in consideration.
  2. Poll stakeholders
  3. Stakeholders vote is binding

As it should be, really.

With this model, I would also support ZF and ECC voting with the tokens they have earned from the dev fund, given they would not anymore be in a situation where they can accumulate multiple ways of voting for the same outcome.

Now, given you will not support the Pure Coinholder Funding Model, this changes my equation a bit. I am considering voting to block the dev fund. I don’t want to do this, but neither do I want a sham vote so essentially it’s a choice of either we, stakeholders and dev fund recipients, work together, or against each others.

I am hopeful we can work together.
