Well, I donât want them to explain anything, I donât care about their personal life or what they do for kicks, I donât care to have beers, meet them in person or like each other!
I expect them to get paid and deliver the tasks mentioned in the proposal so this chain is in a better position in three monthsâ time than it is now.

After you left, I heard Ivan explaining himself about the entire thing. He sounded earnest and real. He felt sad and dejected about what had happened. This incident is related to L1 Task Force because Ivan says that you were busy managing the L1TF when you could not give time to the validator and itâs operations anymore. If this is true then we should have seen the reports you are writing now, written back then. We should have seen more reports coming from you as well. Zaradar does not seem like a person that is manageable, so you could not have been spending the entire day managing him.
Whether or not Superman has a warrant on him, he is clearly missing for the last 6 weeks. Have you revealed that information to us? How are you managing without him for 6 weeks? Who is doing his work? What happened to his salary which is supposed to be paid to him for 6 weeks? Are you paying someone a salary who is missing for 1 and a half months? Have you revealed these details to us? Moreover when Demon asked you âAre you telling me that you are absolutely sure that there is no warrant on Superman?â you did not reply to it. So he may, or may not have a warrant on him, but if he really does, then we are basically paying someone we should not be paying and your duty, when you found out about him, was to go and check whether the information that Demon is giving us is true or not. Whatever it is, I am not sure about how to process this information since our duty is to protect investors, not expose them to more risks.
That is going too far to accuse someone of embezzlement of funds. Demon made those accusations and I heard it last day as well. I understand that he made these accusations so that people begin asking more and more qns, and of course, it makes him more popular in the community.
The accusations that we have made here till now are of monetary value which is much higher than this. In fact, our objections here are not with you distributing funds among yourselves since the responsibility was given to TGF and we have an issue with how TGF has distributed the funds to you guys without checking whether a certain work was done or not.
You were all for transparency and truth before you joined the team. I shall not go into your work as an investigator with Demon on certain members of TR, but you have essentially spied on other members of the community. You have pursued Zaradar as well during that time as well as Venus. How do I trust you right now that you are not spying on me? Also, if you are so good at spying then why do you not have information on Superman?
Can you explain to us why the proposal was put up for voting when it was still in discussion? Who asked you to do that? Zaradar? You havenât even been paid for last monthâs work because the work isnât complete yet. How did you even decide to put it up for voting? You spent $120-130 of our money again to do this? Donât tell me you put in your own money cause currently you are a paid employee of the Terra Luna Classic community. So it is our money that you have wasted again.
If you wanna make up for what has happened till now, then ask all the developers to come here and reply to us like Vinh did and ask them to explain themselves, including Zaradar. He should not have said what he said last day in his tweet. Is he some sorta pimp that we are âre-negotiatingâ rates with him? How does he even say something as condescending as that? He DOES NOT deserve a raise and make him understand that if he hasnât blocked you yet. He will get what he deserves - currently a lotta fu(d). He should have thought before interacting on Twitter with every Tom, Di(c)k and Harry he sees talking about him. I do not know whether he is like this, or plain st(upid that he invited this upon himself when everything would have been absolutely fine if he had just remained shut.

I have an IT apps development background (30+ years in the Federal government) however l never touched blockchain technology so a number of the blockchain technologies mentioned in this proposal are a mystery to me, and I suspect they are for many others as well.
Rather than trying to ask the authors to explain the things in simple laymans terms, I though Iâd ask ChatGPT to explain some of the terms and I found the responses quite informative so I thought Iâd share them here.

Integrate FeeShare module from Juno for release in v2.1.0
Question: What is the Juno FeeShare module?
Answer:
The Juno FeeShare module is a module within the Juno blockchain that allows network validators to share transaction fees with their delegators. The FeeShare module is a key component of the networkâs incentive mechanism.
When a user sends a transaction on the Juno network, they pay a fee that is collected by the network validators who process the transaction. The FeeShare module allows validators to distribute a portion of these fees to their delegators, who are users that have delegated their stake to the validator in exchange for a share of the rewards generated by the network.
The FeeShare module is implemented using smart contracts on the Juno blockchain, and it is designed to be flexible and customizable to meet the needs of different validators and delegators. Validators can set their own fee distribution rules, such as the percentage of fees to be shared with delegators and the frequency of payouts, and delegators can choose to delegate their stake to the validators that offer the most attractive fee sharing arrangements.
Overall, the FeeShare module is an important component of the Juno ecosystem, as it helps to incentivize validator participation and stakeholder engagement, which are essential for the long-term success and sustainability of the network.

Overhaul CI (continuous integration) workflows
Question: What is CI (continuous integration)?
Answer:
Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice that involves regularly merging code changes from multiple developers into a shared code repository and automatically building and testing the integrated code to detect and resolve any issues or conflicts as early as possible in the development process.
The goal of continuous integration is to ensure that the changes made by developers do not introduce bugs or cause other issues that can affect the stability or performance of the software. By continuously integrating code changes and running automated tests, developers can identify and fix issues quickly, reducing the risk of downstream problems and making it easier to maintain the codebase over time.
Continuous integration typically involves the use of a dedicated server or cloud-based service that automatically builds and tests the code whenever changes are pushed to the shared code repository. This can include compiling the code, running unit tests, and performing other checks to ensure that the integrated code meets the projectâs quality standards and does not introduce any new issues.
Continuous integration is often used in conjunction with other software development practices such as continuous delivery and continuous deployment, which involve automating the process of delivering and deploying software updates to production environments. Together, these practices can help to streamline the software development process and improve the quality, reliability, and efficiency of software delivery.

I had to vote no on both options. Coming to this whole process now and trying to catch up. Based on the wording of the two proposals, I canât tell which one is which. They both link to the same thread. Iâm making an assumption that 11426 is the first and original proposal since it is labeled âby LuncBurnArmyâ and has a lower proposal number, but the second proposal 11432 is more detailed and more closely resembles what the original proposal in this thread was trying to accomplish. Which one is which?

Most of validators are not even doxed, yet they technically sit above devs.
I was glad we had a doxxed team until they asked for legal protection money in
return. Imo this is not worth it. The fact that people on TR and beyond were doxed, didnt prevent bad things from happening. I no longer think this is necessary. Being anon also shields people who want to take charge of a hot potato which is LUNC in a way. No amount of lawyers and cayman islands ltds will protect LUNC if the govt attorneys put us in their crosshairs. Being anon and following governance does take most of liability away.
If youd like to have more of a guarantee that the work will be carried out - which i agree with - we could split the payputs into smaller chunks.
Have in mind that doing this with too much details and oversight required will hike the cost, may lead to creating another TGF and will scare away contractors. A good way is to develop a stable team on a trial and error basis. We should review their work in Q3, like we are doing now and remove those elements who didnt work.

At least the project manager should reveal his identity and making himsellf accessible to users and stakeholders to help promote transparency, accountability, and build trust in the project. It can also help to establish the credibility of the project manager and the project as a whole. LUNC is on shaky ground.
The nature of the validator role protects the chain.
TGF may have had issues, that does not mean that we dont need a central body.
As I alluded to before, complete decentralization of the LUNC chain has proven to be very problematic.
It has created challenges in terms of governance, accountability, and scalability. Without a central authority or governing body, it can be difficult to coordinate development efforts, address disputes or conflicts, and the central body can ensure that the network operates effectively and efficiently.
âIn practice, many blockchains operate on a spectrum of decentralization, with some elements of central control and decision-making, while still retaining a degree of distributed control and authority. This hybrid approach can help to address some of the challenges associated with complete decentralization, while still retaining many of the benefits of a distributed network.â
Who will be tasked to develop a stable team ? A trial an error? May lead to waste of money. The reason âTGFâ did not work the way it should, was that spending proposals were sent to the community to vote on instead of TGF since it was optional . This was a fallacy I pointed out . TGF should have been the team to vet all spending proposals and bring their recommendations for us to vote on. Most of us are not technically inclined. Why should we vote on something we dont understand.
I must agree that TGF has some reporting to do with the LUNC community. For instance did any group request any bid to build on the chain? If so, why werenât they given the grant?

I hear what you are saying, in principle it sounds ok. However, so far it didnât work - i mean long term. There were short terms where it was ok. Funny enough it worked the best at the begining when we had volunteers form TR. Imho the point we are now is similar to a business a step away from going into administration. The way out is prunning the business model to bare minimum. Dev-only plan that Rabbi proposed seems ok given the situation.
Frankly at this point I dont see a place for project managers , PR teams, Repeg funds or mentorship dojos. We should focus on upgrades and then transition into more advanced feats will come later
