"redirecting burn or new issuance to fund core dev each have unique tradeoffs but both affect monetary properties of ETH there's also the bigger fundamental q of whether the community has longterm resolve to pursue understand tradeoffs - outside of these reactive episodes"

"what number do you think the EF should target a few thoughts for to give context to your answer (caveat these are my personal thoughts) bare minimum funding for XXX core devs @ $150k is $30mm - significantly under industry offers to core devs and even further when considering equity/token incentives elsewhere even further when considering the total mcap of all projects that build on ethereum mainnet/ use client sw/ depend on EVM. $60-90mm is much closer to where we should be for current adoption imo EF has to conservatively allocate for at min. the next 10-20 years can't assume eth price"

"its never going to match what they could get from private sector or startup i've said this in the past as well but think it mostly applies to the extreme exits. tbh still a lot of room to improve i'd feel a lot more competitively positioned with 2x or 3x total comp and more people to fill in gaps in the existing process - some teams could probably much larger to internalize testing and prototyping functions and on the longterm beyond matching industry comps we should consider common resource funding like defense / infra funding in the physical world: not a nice to have but in fact crucial to"

"private actors with their own interests imo the downside risk in the longrun is larger private actors extracting from a political economy for their own interest is high relative to the benefits of this libertarian "the market will surely provision/steward these shared resources" frame. see linux & red hat (image) creating a market-driven system with incentives for them to contribute back to and advance the technology and adoption of Ethereum as a base layer what does this mean so far this has largely meant projects taking EVM tech/network and launching EVM L1s reusing the client software and"

"$ is not the only motivation but def a big one. they are underfunded relative to industry comp and even more relative to their impact building the global settlement layer par excellence where should money come to fund their immediate competitive pressures EF has to conservatively allocate for the next 10-20 years. in the last X years we haven't been able to scale @ProtocolGuild to where it needs to be (only $80k / next 12mo for the median member)"

"i've seen a lot of well intentioned "cause-stablecoins" over the years there are clear tradeoffs X. there's incredible overhead to get people to use a new stable asset might incur taxable event depending on jurisdiction X. given you're just passing on the XXXX% sDAI yield and not the principle you need to raise 20x to get the same impact of direct contributions. we'd need $600mm just to demonstrate the scale ofc can be alongside other mechanisms and there are tradeoffs to any structure - eg. PG sends funding through a X year vest to ensure some sustainability/future incentives we need to"

"rework of a slide from the columbia CBER conference. still too much text =) Checks and balances matter in political economies. Ethereum is the only chain with this combination of affordances in the production of its shared resources: 💻 software has open + comprehensive specifications - execution + consensus specs APIs yellow paper - allows broader participation + constrains core devs from withholding special knowledge (intentionally or not) - anyone can make their own implementation no single team can unilaterally make decisions which have outsized impact on the network 🌐 network has robust"
