@ultracoconut your proposal answers a different question: how the burn should happen if 1926 passes, burn account versus protocol burn, and whether burned DOT quietly returns through issuance under the cap. That belongs to 1926’s implementation lane, and your thread is the right place for it. This wish sits earlier in the chain: it asks what currency the DAO accepts for JAM state footprint, and says nothing about burns. I am not going to campaign for or against it here, but everyone who cares about 1926 should read it: Proposal: Introduce a Permanent Burn Account for Polkadot
Since I am here, the state of play on 1927, because the real disagreement now sits in the vote. About 226k DOT of ayes against about 242k of nays, conviction-weighted. Most of the nay side is one account: 66,000 DOT locked at 3x, identified on chain only as T., never voted on anything before this, and no reason stated anywhere. The invitation from my last post stands: I would rather read the reason here than guess at it. The aye side is built from one known voter with a long record and two single-issue holders who showed up just for this question, plus a tail of small accounts. Max’s 1926 is near 979k ayes without a single nay.
What an AYE on 1927 says, compressed: when the DAO releases JAM state footprint, the DAO is paid in DOT. That is the whole rule. It does not choose between rent and sale, and grants are untouched. What the treasury does with the DOT afterward is 1926’s question. Builders can keep quoting prices in whatever unit works for them; converting at the counter is a policy the DAO can adopt on any Tuesday. Reversing the settlement unit after launch means patching a live system. Doing it now costs nothing.
@Kingston007 @BizaRre your names are on this text. If you still back it, the place to say so is on chain. An AYE on 1927, at whatever size, counts twice: once in the tally, and once in public where other holders can see it. My own skin is already there: the filing account carries the 20,000 DOT decision deposit, and its free balance is AYE on both referenda. Small, but on the record.
Around 25 days of deciding left. This one is close, and it is decided by whoever shows up.
