I sincerely struggle with this one, here is why:
Technically you are right to charge for those 6 days after a free period. That’s why I don’t like free subscriptions which go automatically over into a paid one without notifications. I think it is even against the law in the European Union.
So I have two issues against it:
-
You haven’t given the Shareholders a heads-up in time that this was about to occur in order for them to stop it. This is good practice at least.
-
There are a NuBot and a PyBot active on Poloniex so one could argue that strictly speaking it was not needed to have your NuBot running especially not at a premium. More is always better, but there is a cost element we need to assess as you know.
In favour are:
- Appreciate your work in general and I’m therefore not keen to alienate you over 90 NBT.
So this time I will vote in favour of it, but going forward I won’t vote for any motion which don’t have a clear and timely warning built-in for the Shareholders when either significant cost increases are about to occur or implications with significant impact which were not there at the start of the motion or grant. A warning can just be a public post in the thread of the motion or grant, but with the onus on the custodian or motion submitter.
