Tip for N4DRO for his forensic analysis of addresses associated with recent voting behavior
This tip is going to N4DRO for providing rapid analysis of addresses that were recently wildly swinging kusama referenda at the last moments with a goal to look to see if it's potentially nefarious in some way. He provided this information in the Chaos Dao discord while these events were on-going. The report: https://github.com/Nadro-J/GovSleuthing/blob/main/%23234%20%26%20243.md Thanks to Paradox for insisting on verified identities as it caught a bad destination address on ref #245.

Where will we find this analysis please? Do we know if members of the ChaosDAO were trading off of this information? Look at is this way: Would it be okay for me to hire an analyst, not share the information gained with other KSM holders, exploit the information asymmetry against other KSM holders, and then ask the Kusama treasury to pay for it?

Trading off what information, I'm confused? It's in the CD chat, but you'd need to join CD to see it.
The research had to do with seemingly nefarious voting behavior. The analysis was to determine if they were a threat to the treasury or not. No conclusion was reached but he did post several graphs, information, links, etc relating to these addresses and spent a couple hours digging through them.
Tipping N4DRO for swiftly analyzing addresses involved in Kusama referenda could help to safeguard network security. Polkadotters support those kind of efforts, so that's why voted AYE on this one. A small tip, but great appreciation for N4DRO.
