"I've commented on a couple of different solutions in the SIMD. Guarantees of future availability are critical and Noah's original post above highlights the brittleness of off-chain indexes. Personally I'd lean towards separate hot/cold account DBs on the validators. Validator startup times will be slower but all good validators run hot spares so there's very little downtime during failover"

"If you view staking as a form of security you want those stakeholders to be engaged. They deserve the same staking rewards as anyone else. In Solana the inflation rewards that land in the stake account are also locked so they can't be withdrawn until the unlock date. Additionally when receiving a grant of locked tokens the grantee will apply a steeper discount if they do not receive rewards. Your granting program is more efficient if the recipient can stake their grant"

"The reason the previous @solana inflation reduction proposal failed was because many validators were eating off the commissions and voted no. Someone needs to go back through the previous votes to see how many of the no validators are still online. If enough of them have left the network or their stake moved elsewhere a new proposal has a chance of passing. Dont believe any of the this is a cleaner proposal bullshit it all gets down to who is living off the rewards"

"FWIW SIMD-411 won't make much of a difference either way. To date there's no discernible correlation between emissions & token price. These are not "Full Faith & Credit" debt instruments. They're gas tokens traded by degens with high leverage and prices are subject to boom-and-bust cycles (as we see in the current bear market). Changing the emissions rate won't affect this in any material way. It's much better to think of the emissions as compensation for stakeholders in exchange for providing network security. SIMD-228 addressed the question of how much is paid for that security. At some"
