While 3,000 is a nice round number, I would propose that if we were going to mint any YFI (which I’m generally against) we mint the number that has been burned/lost to bring us back up to an even 30,000. According to @learnyearn’s math here, that would be 36.55 YFI. Definitely not the 3,000 for Andre that was proposed, but it still is a decent number of votes and also has the benefit of bringing us back up to the original 30,000 YFI tokens.
Andre has propsed burning YFI minting capability (as you know), but we still have to deal with the fact that YIP 0 passed. Out of respect for that vote, maybe this is a solution, although I suspect additional YFI will be lost in the future.
If Andre doesn’t necessarily want money and has turned it down in the past, could we create a type of B Share of YFI with no dividends but voting power, and give that to him, instead? On his passing, confirmed by an oracle, it could automatically split to the remainder of the multisig.
Deeply against.
30K is the cap.
We don’t know the future, but this isn’t a reasonable motivation to mint more YFI. Not yet.
Let the man work.
If he want something, we shall discuss it at THAT time.
And I think we should keep some kind of “jurisprudence” topic with all the resolutions we had.
Like a FAQ or something.
It should save us a lot of time on “leveling” our community to a minimum where we all should be able to add more and more complex discussions, situations and proposals.
Not sure how that number was decided but I would vote for giving Andre YFI. Builders should be rewarded and a founder should have significant pull in voting if you ask me. If everyone is super opposed to minting more I’d also support buybacks donated to him or figuring out a way to give him voting power without owning YFI.
I would also vote for what you have described. I hope more discussion surrounding this topic will happen quickly prior to permanently removing the ability to mint YFI. I’d think it would be beneficial for Andre to hold additional governance influence even if it were just 36.55 YFI. A little more skin in the yearn game
