I have no problem with major strategic funding from the Foundation to e.g. Hesab Pay & friends. Mostly because of completely different due diligence. When it comes to the proactive governance funding though, I would a priori support @fisherman.algo’s idea of a “crowdfunding DAO” over the one presented. It would be a fitting idea for a game-theoretical, decentralised and permissionless system. It would in my mind at least remedy some of the faults of the current xGov system and still allow for targeted subsidies from the Foundation.
