[ZIP 1003] Dev Fund Proposal: 20% split between the ECC and the Foundation

@johnwisdom First of all I believe that anyone should be able to make a proposal. You are trying to attack people making proposals and that is an attack on this whole process.

Not that is any of your business, but I have been following Zcash since I first read about in Wired in 2016 (months before it launched!). I have owned zec for years and I even run a node. Not everyone who follows and invests in Zcash is active on this forum.

I understand you are concerned about your investment, but I and many others also have invested in zec, and I simply disagree with you about the best way to make zcash better with a dev fund. You and others (mostly miners) are advocating to limit dev fund spending so that miners will receive more zec. I believe that this is short sighted and I am trying to maximize the value of zec over a multiyear timescale while miners often need to make a ROI in a matter of months.

I am truly trying to make zcash better, and it is fine to disagree with my ideas. It’s not ok to say that some ideas are illegitimate because of who you think is proposing them. I’m going to continue to advocate for whatever I think is best for zcash and I’m not going to be bullied into silence.

To answer your question, I do like my proposal the best so far, but I am open to suggestions from anyone to make it better. There are aspects of the Dev Fund Proposal: 20% to a 2-of-3 multisig with community-involved governance proposal that I and several others have already expressed concern about, but I am open to it if they can address the concerns raised.
