I’d rather think Tier 3 is something shareholders believe they can somewhat formally rely on. I can’t say I vouch for NuLagoon (no offense - just by the principle of decentralization) being a formal outlet but it’s so far the most reputable destination for Tier 3.
Nonetheless I guess a lot of people would be willing to jump into NuLagoon when buy-side or sell-side is low (and interests are set high enough), so my consideration sending funds to NuLagoon is probably somewhat redundant. There might be better ways managing the flow from tier 4 to tier 3 instead of directly injecting funds.
It’s just that I think it’s without basis to evaluate and vote without knowing the signers’ duty.
I’m not mainly complaining about support, but a lack of discussion about the general theme, over there or over here. How much work do we want from maintainers of tier 4 (not just signers) to justify any sort of payment? You are right that the exact duties are not clear; but I say it’s even worse, even the most essential components aren’t established (no GUI for multisig, need some scripting to make it work with RPC, need to make the script work for dummies), there’s a demand of effort even before day 0. How much work is needed to establish the most basic workflow, and how much do shareholders think it’s worth?
Most people in the community are too hesitant to even talk about a price - what they are willing to pay, in what circumstances, or even whether they are indeed willing to pay. And I don’t like a motion for free signers to start hashing without a good attempt to answer this 0 as given the current situation, it might just pass.
