Hi Han, thanks for your reply!
I know you’ve been participating since day 1 through the Protocol & Liquidity Group along with other member of our community; I myself was also involved in the first stages. The entire community wants to regain the trust and see improvements in the project; that’s the reason why I think we all should come to the forum and discuss about this because it’s a matter that affects us all.
Once again, all this process showed us that also as a DAO, we have a wide range of improvement and optimization to achieve.
Following the Dashboard page’s info, there’s a total of 843,345 unique GoodDollar Users, but we only have 12,665 in our main Telegram group, 874 and 619 in the two spanish Telegram groups, and only 210 people voted (or less than that if there were people voting more than once), not to mention the fact that there were only 30 comments in the proposal discussion itself.
Unfortunately, we have an uninformed community stuck in a comfort zone. As a consequence, the mayority want the desired results, but haven’t developed enough interest to participate in the process. On the other hand, we also have to ensure voters make an educated decisions by truly understanding the proposals, their scope, and repercutions; and this bring us to the main reason why the proposal wasn’t aproved.
It’s kinda frustrating this whale hasn’t elaborated more about their position. Checking the forum and Snapshot, it seems like their problem is the 10% of exit contribution and the issue with the GOODs that was later clarified. It’s also fair to mention that this whale wasn’t the only person who voted against the proposal for the same reason (you can check the votes with comments in Snapshot); the only difference was this whale had enough voting power to swing the whole election process (not that this hadn’t happened before). Then there must be a way to sway back the whale’s position. So why not to try exhausting all resources by reviewing the proposal once again, and asking for a deeper explanation of what does entails every point of the proposal and how will affect us as claimers and investors? All this taking into account that most GoodDollar users have zero-knowledge about crypto.
Let’s try to extend an olive branch, build a bridge, and find common ground or whatever it takes with all the parties involved, to launch something that can satisfy the majority in terms of both members and voting power.
