What bothers me,
c0's % of the premine should be priced at $1.00 per decred. The price "at which this project may be able to sustain itself at 10% subsidy"
(Beyondtext said "If we assume the value of 1 decred averages to USD 1.00 over the first year, this means we'll have USD 302K to spend on development work. This is a small amount of funding and can pay for 3-4 full time developers for 1 year, so if we went below 10% dev subsidy it would mean the project cannot fund itself unless its exchange rate is well over USD 1.00 per decred")
But then c0's guaranteed 400,000 decred PoS awards in year 1 MUST also be considered in the "compensation package".
This 400,000 "free and guaranteed" PoS is more than the dev fund receives in year 1, yet is totally unaccounted for in the c0 "compensation package"
c0 "imply" they are not seeking profit here. They just say they want "compensation for bring up costs" = $420,000. ok fair enough.
But, c0's "compensation package" is structured to produce 3x that figure = "compensation for bring up cost + 200% profit"
(100% profit at launch + 100% profit in yr 1. based on decred price "at which this project may be able to sustain itself at 10% subsidy")
So, a fairer "compensation package for bring up costs" would be something like,
TOTAL received by c0 at end year1 (premine + PoS) = 420,000 decred.
(ALL the premine/distribution/PoS figures would need changing)
Just let Decreds concensus process take care of new ideas and changes, it's not Bitcoin where PoW miners can easily block a consensus change.
This is Decred where consensus is mutilated and deliberately violated, where significant 34% minorities are being pressured and forced into major changes to consensus rules. Like it or lump it... This is a joke!
