This fight is so exhausting and unnecessary.
There are things we should be able to all agree on once and for all and move on:
- Usage of the dev fund can only be controlled by the token holders. It’s their money, we can’t have random people do that for us.
- Token holders voting for who gets a piece of the pie can be gamed. I have not seen much evidence of that but hypothetically it can be and that’s all we need to know. For that reason, we may want to start thinking about deprecating the dev fund as the status-quo is just not good and I have not read about convincing alternative models.
- Development teams can poll whoever they want, whenever they want, however they want.
- PoS will help gathering feedback on what stakeholders want.
- ZF never cared much about stakeholders and they instead have a vision for the people (my understanding of it). It may eventually lead to a fork. Good. Embrace it, can have two tokens. Keep both, nothing to lose.
So, we breathe?
