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.

Based on all comments and repliesOverall 25 % of users are feeling optimistic. N4DRO efficiently analyzed addresses in Kusama referenda to enhance network security. Their commendable work received support from Polkadotters and a token of gratitude through an AYE vote. The small tip given is a testament to the appreciation for N4DRO's efforts.
Overall 75 % of users are feeling neutral. The ChaosDAO conducted an analysis of potentially nefarious voting behavior to ensure network safety and security, with findings posted on GitHub for review by KSM token holders. The research was initially discussed in the CD chat but is now accessible publicly. There were no conclusions reached regarding a threat to the treasury, although several graphs and information relating to these addresses were shared.

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.

Obtaining information regarding a "potentially nefarious" threat ahead of other market participants allows you to front run them. Selling before other token holders realize there is a problem for example, or opening short positions to cash in on their panic selling.
Isn't the CD chat invite only? If the research was made available to all KSM token holders equally then provide a link to that chat for voting token holder review please.

It had nothing to do with front running, but understanding what was going on with the voting behavior. IIUC, he intends to post the findings to his github. I'll ask him to link it.
It was a rapid response, where, we initially saw the behavior, alerted the discord, and then N4DRO took it upon himself to do the background research on the addresses. We discussed there if there was a potential threat, and it resulted in numerous twitter posts of people reacting to it.
All of this happened in a period of around 3 hours from first seeing it, until the information was available. The point was to act to ensure the safety and security of the network.
We believe that people should be tipped for ensuring the on-going safety and security of the network.

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.
