Optimism University?
by Abraxas - No Role
Posted on: June 23, 2022, 2:16 a.m.
Content: To help train developers, creators, builders, investors, etc. than can all in turn contribute to innovation on Optimism. Basically we would be supporting and nurturing growth, knowledge, and the development of skills, with the side effects of innovation, appreciation, and trust. I can’t think of how that wouldn’t benefit Optimism even if some people used what they learned elsewhere. :grinning:

Content: Great idea! It’s probably best to start out small as you say, and then it can grow into whatever form from there. Not sure about a decentralized web 3 platform.

Unclaimed airdrop to be burned?
by Abraxas - No Role
Posted on: June 9, 2022, 4:44 a.m.
Content: As the end of the claim period approaches and panic over token price subsides, we can discuss, with clearer minds, the best option for what to do with the tokens. However, burning tokens only seems to have the interest of price in mind. Perhaps there are far better uses for tokens beyond a transitory bump in value. :blush:

A Rejection of Moralized Punishment Distribution (Reject 0xJohn Proposal)
by Abraxas - No Role
Posted on: June 6, 2022, 4:46 p.m.
Content: I agree with many of your points, and just as the first airdrop had criteria, there will no doubt be criteria for the next. However, there are problems when we begin to introduce more and more complexity into the criteria while at the same time ignoring nuance. About a week before the airdrop I believed my wallet was compromised from a contract that I signed. Therefore I created another wallet and planned to immediately transfer the $OP as soon as I claimed. During the claim process it was impossible to delegate. I tried with my new wallet, but to no success. Later I realized I had to delegate from the original wallet that no longer had my $OP. Now, even though all of my property and all of my activity is done from the new wallet, all of the previous interactions, donations, delegations, etc. are tied to my previous wallet. So, even though I may meet all of the criteria I may not meet those criteria in one wallet. Overall, I just think there is more nuance to these things. To respond to another point, I don’t know of a single protocol or dapp with a governance token who only distributes to people who participate in governance. Governance tokens are farmed, given as revenue share, LPd, etc. I believe their point is to circulate widely to reach many hands. I’m not saying you’re saying this, but if we only gave $OP to people who participated in governance how would anyone new ever come in to participate in governance. Why would we give $OP to dapps like Synthetix, Lyra, AAVE, etc. since a majority of that $OP is probably going to people who will sell it for a profit? As a point I made in my original post, if $OP price were skyrocketing right now would we be having any of these discussions? I’m not sure. Criteria discussions are good, but reserving $OP strictly for a particular class of participant seems antithetical to crypto and decentralization. Thoughts?
