I like these alternative suggestions a lot. Basically, you’re suggesting that we all take Josh’s DAO/ grants model concept and run with it while necessitating that the community votes with $$$ via a ZCG(?) fund to show support for the work needed to get it done.
These seem consistent with what @skyl has recently proposed.
Keeping the same old 20% model for another year does paint a bit of an odd picture, especially because how Josh/ ECC have ~explicitly said they don’t want any block rewards after November (while simultaneously writing a proposal to ask for another 7% of block rewards until November 2025)… a bit of a contraction if you ask me.
Dropping the block rewards altogether is slowly feeling more and more like it is shifting into the community’s preference.
