Aaron Cox (jesta) — Greymass, [Dec 26, 2022 at 10:46 AM] This highlights the problem we have rather well at a system level. Voters don’t make these types of decisions for the most part, they are seeking a return on their investment and sacrifice their voting power for it. So in your first point, about increasing voting power, this proxy requests extra inflation be added and exclusively allocated to it to further increase its voting power. If the requests are fulfilled, more inflation would be flowing through this proxy (1.05%) than BPs in total receive (0.75%). No other proxy could compete with this, so likely over time it’d make Eden the largest and leave it as the only form of affecting governance. That’s what’s questionable. Is one proxy run by Eden the best move for the chain? Does this proxy deserve that sort of special power? Is Eden ready for this? Or… if the community feels this is the highest priority issue to address, should we just fix the underlying incentives that are all outta whack.
