Getting the Pulse: NNS Voting as a Service

General
1

Hey everyone!

We’re considering launching a new service to make your NNS voting experience effortless, and we’d love your input. Is this something you’d be interested in? Do you have any concerns? Let’s dive in!

What’s the Big Idea?

  • Never miss out on NNS voting rewards again.
  • Save time—no more manual voting or fiddling with follow settings.
  • Relax knowing your votes are cast on time, every time.

All for a simple, flat monthly fee:

  • First month FREE! :tada:
  • After that: Just (e.g.) 1 ICP per month for up to 100k ICP managed.
  • Got more staked? We’ve got custom plans for larger neurons.

Option 1: Super Easy Setup & Rock-Solid Performance

  • Quick Start: Add our hotkey to your neuron—we’ll guide you through it.
  • We Vote for You: We’ll cast votes on every NNS proposal on your behalf.
  • Shared Success: We’ll always vote with the best interests of the ICP network at heart—because we’re all in this together!

Pros:

  • Max Rewards: All votes are considered manual, ensuring you get the highest possible rewards.
  • Set It and Forget It: No need to monitor proposals or tweak settings.

Cons:

  • Extra Permissions: Our hotkey gets more access than strictly necessary—it can adjust following settings, join or leave the neuron fund, and submit new proposals. But rest assured, we promise (pinky swear!) not to use these extra powers.
  • Trust Factor: While we can’t access or misuse your staked ICP (that’s the important part, right?), we understand if this level of access gives you pause.

Option 2: 100% Safe but Requires a Bit More Effort

  • Create a Mini Neuron: Set up a new neuron with a small amount (like 1 ICP).
  • Link Them Up: Manually set your main neuron to follow this small one on all topics.
  • Add Our Hotkey: Just like in Option 1, but only to your small neuron.

Pros:

  • Complete Safety: Your main neuron stays completely under your control and invisible to us.
  • Peace of Mind: No worries about extra permissions on your primary stake.

Cons:

  • Initial Setup: Takes a bit more time to configure the following settings.
  • Maintenance: If new proposal topics are introduced, you’ll need to update your settings. We’ll let you know when that happens, but it’ll be up to you to make the change.

We Need Your Feedback!

  • Interested? Would you use either of these options? If not, what’s holding you back?
  • Enhanced Security for Option 1: Should we explore technical solutions to limit the hotkey’s permissions strictly to voting?
  • Custom Voting Preferences: Would you like the ability to customize how we vote on your behalf? We’ve got ideas but didn’t want to overload you here.
  • Pricing: Does pricing look good? Would you be comfortable paying percentage instead of a flat fee?
  • 100% on chain: Would you be more comfortable with using the service if it was fully running in a canister, on the IC?
  • Legal Concerns: Do you foresee any potential legal issues with either option?
  • Need a Hand? Feeling a bit lost? Would guides or support help you understand the setup and implications better?
  • Staying Connected: What’s your preferred platform for future communication? Any privacy concerns we should be aware of?

We’re super excited about the potential of this service and can’t wait to hear what you think! Your feedback is crucial to help us shape something that truly benefits the community.
