[RFC] RSR Health: Request For Comments

I am fully supporting this. Around since (end of) 2021 as well and, in my own way and with the time I have available, contribute in various ways ever since: moderating Discord and Telegram channels, helping people understand the protocol from a ‘user’ perspective, did some onchain analysis regarding a couple of slashing events, recently started to embrace Dune dashboards to (hopefully) provide new insights. It’s been quite uncoordinated and best-offort driven, but I like to think it makes a bit of a difference, just as a lot of community members have done and are doing. There is so much unlocked potential that is ready to step up and look for additional ways to support Reserve in its mission. I understand the balance and trade-offs Reserve (and in particular Thomas and Nevin) are having to make in responding to this thread. I genuinely believe Reserve does not aspire to steer the Reserve ecosystem in a very centralized manner. And yet the current way of RSR unlocking points exactly in the direction of ever increasing centralization. Team-controlled wallets have (and will have even more so in the future) the power to override each and everyone in governance proposals. That in itself is detrimental and must be changed. Perhaps Reserve sees a potential role for the community to step in and is struggling to see the community can be trusted with such a big responsibility. It for sure does not help when people blindly shout that 30B ‘just need to be burned’, without thoughtful analysis and even name-calling and swearing. I just wanted to leave this insight here for the Reserve team: the community may not always be (or come across) as thoughtful, to be trusted, capable of taking more responsibility for the Reserve ecosystem, but there surely are 10-20 people really looking forward to help you solve the unlocking and decentralization challenges. We’re here, ready to help, willing to spend (even more) hours. It is up to you to consider the value of our offer and commitment.
