@Lorimer

Are you referring to your idea where you were planning to create a WTN neuron for each of the popular known neurons on the NNS?

No Alex. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’ll cross post here for easy reference. Please try to read it objectively this time. Think in terms of what @1eo or @EnzoPlayer0ne could build into the protocol. Or even what you could build. I’ve done all I can do to help solve this decentralization problem, but you all have the skills to implement a more effective and appropriate solution directly into the protocol.

Every known neuron, and every private neuron, in the WTN SNS is capable of controlling their own vote on NNS proposals. They can relay the vote from any NNS known neuron that they want and it can be automatic. This capability has been out there since day 1. WaterNeuron could even build the capability into the WaterNeuron app in a trustless way to make it easily accessible to everyone if there were demand. There is no reason why every WTN owner couldn’t configure their own NNS/WTN vote relay pair in their own wallet or profile page on waterneuron.fi. In my opinion, this is the most important feature that the WTN team could be building right now.

If you are not arguing against liquid democracy in general, then the best first place to start on solving the problem of how the WaterNeuron NNS vote is cast is to work on improving the Followee options for WTN neuron owners on the Vote for NNS Proposals topic. The voting power of WTN neurons is well distributed among many neurons with many owners. Yet there are not many options for how they ultimately can cast their votes on the NNS proposal topics, which are 96% of all WTN proposals. People need to be able to easily configure their WTN neurons to follow their own individual choices of NNS neurons via some sort of trustless and individually controllable vote relay feature. I’m not sure why this hasn’t been done already.

At this stage, especially since WaterNeuron controls less than 1% total VP in the NNS, we need to be getting this part of WTN governance right. There is no reason that everyone should be left with the only options of following the WTN team or CodeGov or DFINITY or any other WTN neuron in order to vote reliably on NNS proposals. They should be able to easily configure their WTN neuron to follow their preferred NNS neuron whether it’s a known neuron or their own private neurons. If this were the current configuration, then we wouldn’t be having this discussion at all because the WaterNeuron vote on NNS proposals would be a direct reflection of the preferences of each individual WTN neuron owner.
