I’ve found myself more and more drawn to this philosophy as well. Initially I wanted to be able to vote with YFI in the yYFI Vault, but I’ve come around. The idea of vote inflation or double-voting is worrisome - and I’m especially worried about voting from folks who borrow YFI off Aave and then use it to maliciously vote.
@banteg asked in my (first!) thread whether or not we could put the question to bed about YFI gov stakers being paid in YFI instead of yUSD after the creation of the yYFI vault - and I unfortunately disagree again. Change YFI staking rewards to increased YFI - #27 by banteg
I’m deeply conflicted by the two philosophies. I would like to have my YFI compounded as a reward for participating in governance, but I also don’t think that YFI that’s NOT in staking should be able to participate in governance. Perhaps the solution would be to create a second staking contract identical to the first, with the only difference being that you’re paid in YFI instead of yUSD that automatically compounds (without having to claim/restake)? Just a thought.
