This proposal of Polkadot:

https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/proposal/15

It is to change and set a new runtime code. It has been painfully rejected by a large margin.

It is a referendum to cancel the dispatched referendum 129. They propose to cancel it because after more testing, they found out that when there are more than one XCM messages in a block, the second one would be discarded which leads to fund loss.
The referendum was passed.

An interesting one with funds that have been lost - this is a Polkadot proposal for Democracy Ref 18, the proposer want’s to recover their lost funds.

The Democracy Referenda#18 is not passed because there is a lack of evidence to show that they were owned by them in the first place which is unfortunate for the user but seems to be the correct course of action to prevent future frauds

I love the very real nature of this request. It is something we could all face, loss of funds due to some error with an app at setup that resulted in the loss of the seed phrase that now holds the funds you can’t access.

I enjoyed the analytical discussion around the merits of the users claim, the inconsistencies, the challenges to the governance team, the sincere nature with which they approached the issues and ultimately, how it was resolved.

If the user was scamming and looking for holes in the fence, he found it ain’t easy, but if he’s telling the truth, then he’s had to learn a painful lesson about being your own bank.

picked a proposal in kusama about increasing validatiors by 100. im unsure how i feel about that at this moment. only because im still leaning about the polkadot ecosystem. wouldnt more validators be a good thing tho for verification or security. i would learn more before i voted on it.

I completely agree rising the number of validators would grately improve decentralization. Unfortunately it would also decrease performance.

This is mitigated imo by the fact that nominators can pick their own validators and in case the validator starts to misbehave, nominators can switch to a different one, making the validator to drop from the active set. There are always some validators that are waiting to get in the active set. Like mine for example :grin:

There is also an issue how validators with low collateral would behave because of the way PoS is designed. It might be that they would never be picked by the praghmen algorithm so they wouldn’t benefit the network overall.

#76 Proposal: Parachain Lease Offering Dashboard

Parachain Lease Offering (a.k.a PLO) is a new mechanism to achieve high security and interoperability for the Kusama blockchain network. Currently, some projects launched with different strategies. Many people would consider participating in parachain auctions in a meaningful way.

HashQuark would like to provide a PLO dashboard to follow up on the status of the parachain slot and auction situation, so that people can all easily get this information at any time, anywhere.

HashQuark team would like to develop a subpage PLO Dashboard on the HashQuark website. The PLO Dashboard aims to provide PLO relevant data aggregation to help users follow up on the auction situation.

There will be two major categories of data in PLO Dashboard.

PLO Proposals

  • Abstract of PLO proposal, and the link to the proposal details;
  • Earnings calculator, it would be provided by project self or HashQuark;
  • Related events, including: ParaDrop from the project, etc.

Parachain Slot Data

  • Current slot number;
  • Slot Auction, list of bidders;
  • List of slots, includes slot status, owner, period, etc.

proposal #76 - The Parachain Lease Offering is a proposal to provide a new mechanism to achieve high security and interoperability for the Kusama blockchain network

The proposal itself seems to have some benefit as it would provide a way to easily get the
status of parachain slot and auction situation at any time.

This is a funding request for supporting the development community in India. You can click on the link in the post for more information. Most of the costs are managment fees. Interesting to see how the voting on this will be. They have created a treasury proposal and put up the bond for it.
