Proposal for a Community + Coin Holder Funding Model

Like Conrado already said in another thread: there is no magic mechanism that implements a certain voting outcome directly into the protocol.

Absolutely, but it’s also irrelevant. We know we cannot have the dev fund governance as part of the current protocol (this may change with PoS). We have been relying on trusted organizations for many things in Zcash, so we could certainly have some kind of multisig shared between Shielded Labs, ZF, ECC and others, where they would all agree to abide to the shareholder wishes, for as long as doing so would remain legal in their jurisdiction.

@spectre

So what could help? For a start, it would be helpful to receive a written statement here in the forum from the leaders of ZF and ECC on how the various polls are interpreted and aggregated.

Exactly. In Zcash that’s basically a ZIP. In the process of doing that, I believe it is important to address the double-vote issue. Indeed, ZCAP, ZAC & ZecHub members already have a vote in the process, how would it be legitimate for them to also vote as token holders?

Here’s the approach I believe has a bright future:

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.
