Dev Fund Decision Time

@Dodger

Incidentally, for me this is a strong motivation for avoiding overlap across multiple polling groups. It appears that sub-communities (e.g. ZecHub, Zcash Espanol and Zcash Brazil) prefer to vote as a bloc, instead of as part of a “Super ZCAP”.

If we can establish a common set of eligibility criteria (and appropriate standards for Sybil-resistance), we could have distinct groups (i.e. groups with no overlap between them) who could vote in separate polls, and the results could be added together to produce an overall result.

Isn’t that what Josh suggested we move to?

The Zcash Funding Bloc includes known and trusted community participants and coin-holder participation through quadratic voting. Those groups will determine what is funded based on proposed deliverables and past performance. Anyone applying for grants is sovereign and may choose to find funding through other sources, including ECC and the Zcash Foundation.

The initial Zcash Funding Bloc will comprise of the Electric Coin Company (ECC), Zcash Foundation (ZF), Zcash Community Grants (ZCG), and one or more others (possibly ZecHub members). As soon as feasible, this group will also include coin-holders, through coin-based quadratic voting to reduce the risk of plutocracy. The Zcash Funding Bloc may evolve over time as new organizations enter or exit the ecosystem.
