Hi @kworks. I see you’re running for ZCG a third time. Recently, you made serious accusations against the Zcash Foundation and FPF, which, in my opinion, were completely baseless and wildly unfounded. As I’m sure you’re aware, FPF administers the ZCG program. You’ve suggested they’ve engaged in questionable behavior, even alluding to “fraud and embezzlement.”
Serving as a ZCG member would require you to work closely with FPF and sign an Independent Contractor Agreement with them. If you genuinely believe their actions are suspect, why would you want to associate yourself with FPF in this capacity?
Yes, I am proudly advocating for better results from the Devfund. The results have not produced meaningful development to seed the ecosystem.
Conflict of Interest with FPF:
Direct Funding Model (DFM) produced poor incentives, making it diffcult to hold Dev Fund recipients accountable to the community that was funding them.
As a member of the Zcash Community, directly questioning a recipient (Zcash Foundation) of the Direct Funding Model to be accountable. I have questioned the Zcash Foundation’s direct award of 250 000 usd to FPF and the results from the period of October 2023 to October 2024. FPF produced no software, no grants, no educational work. I am still waiting for the answers to my questions.
FPF is operationally controlled by current Zcash Foundation employees which has not resulted in any operational separation or decentralization of ZCG.
Zcash Community members have every right to question these transactions and organizational structures, and results of grantors and grantees.
ZCG should be independent from the Zcash Foundation.
The Zcash Community has moved from Direct Funding Model due to poor incentives, no accoutability and low results.
