Upcoming TACO DAO SNS Decentralization Swap

[Lorimer]

I have rejected this proposal to ’ Create Service Nervous System (SNS)’ proposal, as it attempts to make use of the Neurons Fund. More context here →

I Suggest Rejecting Any and All 'Create Service Nervous System (SNS)' Proposals that use the Neurons' Fund Until the System is Fit for Purpose

I was called out earlier today in a way that I take to heart. This is a well-meaning post, and I responded to it here → The Neurons’ Fund is certainly open to abuse, and there’s nothing that can be done to protect it during the community syndication voting phase of SNS launches (the ones described above). Instead it’s what happens next, when the decentralisation sale is taking place. This is where the Neuron’s Fund is open to abuse. You can never be sure beforehand that the proposer of a…

Some points of interest

12.5% of the NNS has already adopted this proposal, yet the known neurons that have voted have nowhere near this kind of VP. This isn’t a very common scenario. It means there are some heavy hitters voting in favour of this project proactively. Interesting, that’s all (particularly given how new and untested it is - it was only open-sourced a few days ago).

Given the large (but anonymous) NNS VP that has so far voted in favour of this, it’s not unreasonable to expect that there’s ICP going spare to chuck at this decentralisation sale (potentially just for the sake of boosting the Neurons Fund bounty and withdrawing it). The source code was only recently open sourced, and there’s practically no repo history.

I don’t wish to upset developers who may be innocent and have put hard work into this. I think a proposal that doesn’t attempt to make use of the Neurons Fund would be more acceptable.
