I’m very pleased to see @crypto_coiner’s offer to purchase NSR. We need to sell additional NSR to fund development and balance the liquidity walls. I would like to see a Motion subsection specifically for NSR bids. This will bring a degree of transparency to the amount of liquidity available in tier 6 (NSR sales in exchange for NBT burns). I would really like to see a stack of NSR bids that could be tapped as it becomes apparent buy side liquidity is needed.
A proper NSR bid should offer to burn NBT in exchange for an NSR grant. So it contains these elements:
- a quantity of NSR
- a price in NBT
- a date the purchase offer expires
Preparing for open sourcing has delayed development of planned protocol changes. However, I have asked @erasmospunk and @sigmike to make development of the burn RPC and NSR grants the top development priority. I would say NSR grants are 5% of our protocol change work but embody 60% of the value of our planned protocol changes. Likewise, the burn RPC might be 10% of the development but provide 20% of the value. We need to hustle to implement these changes and move them forward in their own release if necessary. The burn RPC is not a protocol change, so that means it could even be used by people who need it as a 1.1 beta. @erasmospunk and @sigmike could one of you commit to developing this right away? Perhaps the other can work on enabling NSR grants.
For now, I can transfer purchased NSR. NSR grants by protocol will be a step toward ensuring Nu has no center. The final step will be for me to step out of the process of contractor compensation and place that directly in the hands of shareholders.
