My view is that as a community we’re not getting very much out of the Governance rewards program. Current programming squanders both time and financial resources (42 million ALGO each quarter). Allocating a significant amount of ALGO purely dedicated toward answering a handful of questions every quarter, some of which are repeated on a quarterly basis - we ought to strive for input in the most efficient way possible and more than a handful of issues every three months.
For example, wouldn’t the concept of Measure 5 be most efficient were we to simply use a sliding scale and have the community select their desired defi rewards once and simply take the weighted average of the setting, rather than ask it across multiple quarters in pursuit of the same ideal allocation, thus burning through far more than 42m ALGO? So, it can feel like it’s just wasting both time and ALGO this way.
Why can’t running a one-click node be a prerequisite to earning your quarterly governance rewards right now, not in six months or 12 months etc. I hate to be a wet blanket, but it just feels like we’re squandering various forms of resources. I’d love to see more of a sense of urgency.
