The Internet Computer should allow canisters to control ICP neurons

We’ve been working on something like this for CIG DAO - canisters can control neurons, it’s just a bit of a reach around with tECDSA.

Given there’s multiple vectors to access this market, I’m not sure why we don’t just remove the self authenticating function.

Neuron Markets exchange in $ICP as of present (I understand this may not always be the case, but this is where we’re at now).

Meaning in order for somebody to acquire a neuron, they still have to buy $ICP. Beyond this, it takes hundreds of millions, without accounting for liquidity slippage, to acquire even 10% of $ICP, let alone enough to pull off a malicious attack against DFINITYs 99.99% on code based topics, or ~25% in governance topics (which aren’t binding, you have to submit a code based prop after the fact anyways). And then offload your hundreds of millions dollar position after you’ve attempted x malicious action.

I’d agree you can no longer force people into the ponzi (this is a good thing, right guys??? right???) when they have the opportunity to buy/sell neuron’s as they please - but they already can.

What stops me from selling my internet identity OTC? What makes it different?
