Does the NNS Dapp have any deep hidden ‘Developer options’ that can be unlocked to change followees for Topic 1 (NNS neuron management) and for controller-related topics other than “Hotkeys” (SNS neuron controller) using the front-end?
Do you have any advice for non-technical neuron holders on how they can easily change its controller without requiring specialized knowledge? Right now, it seems quite difficult, and I’m not even sure if it’s possible at all from the current front-end.
In my opinion, neuron management and other configuration options should be more inclusive for greater mass adoption
I used to have some instructions on the icdevs.org. They removed the option a bit after genesis and never put it back. I still would love to have it even though we have canister controlled neurons now. You basically need to “pause” the execution of a follow in the js chrome code console/debug window, and then change the topic.
Once you have a single Neuron Management Followee configured for a neuron, then the NNS dApp does allow you to add and remove other Followees for that topic. I’m only familiar with setting the first one using ic-repl and/or quill, which are both command line.
The FE doesn’t expose this Topic as its meaning is fundamentally different from other topics. While on those other topics following means delegating voting power, for this Topic following means authorizing “followees” to arbitrarily execute commands on your neuron that can have negative financial consequences for the user.
We’ll discuss internally if such a feature should be exposed in an “expert mode”.
