You requested and received funding for simple python scripts which automated posts to a platform that you now call “a cesspool of nonsense and extremely toxic for the mind”. While you won’t get an argument from me on that evaluation of the platform, I do find the funding/criticism a bit hypocritical. Also, when I criticized the simplicity of the scripts, you responded that the value was in “execution, consistency, maintenance” and yet you are not monitoring the service uptime.
Back to the proposal at hand:
Is the Ganify code part of this proposal? If not, why should xGov pay “Retribution for weeks of unpaid work & maintenace” on that project?
Also, when I criticized the simplicity of the scripts, you responded that the value was in “execution, consistency, maintenance” and yet you are not monitoring the service uptime.
That was from a retroactive perspective, and I personally, outside the scope of the proposal in a proactive manner, continued to meet those standards for several months. I have laid out plans in my previous comment to remedy my absence from twitter and how it affects observability of the AF Watcher account and its uptime:
“I actually planned on putting together a discord bot version of the watcher later today as a compromise so that we can have a dedicated channel to discuss its effectiveness and reach me directly, as well as a summary of any missed transaction notifications in the last 2 weeks or so.”
— admittedly, of course, it has not met the five 9’s of availability as of most recently due to previously mentioned server issues. A new discord bot does not mean we will be shutting down the twitter service, both would persist.

Regarding your last statement here, we don’t mind sharing the codebase for the Gainify repository and can do that as well — we personally just look at it as taboo like everyone else, but if that interests you or anyone else it can be included. The logic is sound and functional after some important changes made.
I actually do agree that it is helpful to include if mentioning retribution / maintenance of that platform. I can amend this to the to be open-sourced manifest of the official proposal and update the parent comment here later this week*.
Hilarious! Let me submit a proposal for a bunch of sites that were down at the time of my request and not up to date. Then, when everyone starts calling me out, scramble to fix and update everything in the hopes of making it look like I’ve actually done something. Move on Leo! Not happening…
It doesn’t seem like you’re interested in having a constructive conversation brother — I think you are approaching this with a specific mindset — this can be validated by reviewing the constant berating and memes on X in the past few days last night after tweeting an announcement, as well as how you’re responding here.
I’m putting a lot of effort into addressing and providing solutions for missed notifications and gaps in communication. You’re free to express your feelings and thoughts in any way you’d like on social media, but I’d appreciate if that drama stayed on X so we can have an objective and formal discussion process on the forums.
If you’re not going to acknowledge anything I provide back to you at this point I can assume you’re not looking for direction on my part, your opinion is solidified — that’s clear, but a back and forth here isn’t productive and a tiny bit distracting.
What’s important is that any issues regarding missing information is resolved, now I’m just working on an alternative channel for communication and an additional platform to utilize the AF Wallet Watcher.
You can claim that it’s too little too late but that doesn’t really make sense to me — I’m still going to be working on the alternative channel for communication, I’m also adding more documentation to the codebases for Algofun and AVM Email which is more pertinent to this proposal.
I think we should all continue to hone in finer details on this proposal request in general moving forward now that what was requested to be looked into outside the scope of this proposal has been attended to.
Btw, just FYI, it turns out that the script for the AF Wallet Watcher was online — the X API is just no longer free, with a minimum monthly plan of $175/mo @iGetAlgo@funk
