To prevent potential mismanagement of Youdle DAO treasury funds, we propose temporarily transferring these assets to the Kusama Treasury, which is now the safest option.

Kusama Discussion: https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2640
Requested KSM: Nothing
Short description: We would like to be added as a Kusama registrar to offer the service. This referendum is to add `HurhThD66KBUf2zcE9Zhx46sCqNJXviKhWAct95rBCkPuix` as a registrar at Kusama People.

Overall 28 % of users are feeling optimistic. The new registrar has been successfully tested in Rococo with the backend being worked on to bridge social media DMs through Matrix for challenge verifications. Collaboration is welcomed, and thanks are given to all who voted on the proposal. The registrar system is near completion and expected to be running by this week for evaluation.
Overall 71 % of users are feeling neutral. PolkaIdentity introduces its first version available at https://polkaidentity.com and invites proposals based on Polkadot. A discussion post in Polkassembly was unable to sync due to a pure proxy account issue, which is being addressed as seen here: https://forum.polkadot.network/t/parachain-technical-summit-next-steps/51/28 The team behind it includes WinterStamp (Leonardo), who runs validator at Kusama and has completed grants for W3F, and Jay (João), CMO at Dux and Project Manager at Secretariat of Economic Development.

This is the discussion post for the above. Unfortunately, we were not able to sync it with Polkassembly because of a multiSig using a pure proxy:

The context and contact are in the discussion. I can't change them here as Polkassembly doesn't accept linking a pure proxy account.
We are not requesting any money. I'm not sure the other points make sense in this case.
This is not a Treasury Proposal, though.
Never heard of Polkaidentity. Who are you? Why should you be trusted to be a registrar? If you verify an account is a particular person (not a bot) and it is an imposter then scams might be facilitated. Expect chaos!!!
On the other hand. Kusama does expect chaos, and a bunch of accounts with fraudulent verification could certainly be chaotic. Kusama is here for teams to experiment and build reputation before moving to Polkadot. In order to build reputation you must first be allowed to try. If the worst happens and Polkaidentity does turn out to be providing faulty identity attestations then it shouldn't be too difficult to revoke all Polkaidentity associated ID's.
Usually the negative consequence of a faulty attestation would be loss of reputation, but in this case you have no reputation to lose, but you can't build a reputation if you don't get the chance. Kusama is the place to start that reputation building as a probationary registrar.
@GP7LidBTZy2Fet3M7h8NkUdYx6gRTHokFhx4RpJrqBLpo99
I'm not sure if this is a compliment. But you are right; we want to build our reputation, and PolkaIdentity is our first project.
That's precisely why, though we have opened the discussion on Polkadot, we have not started a referendum there.
We want to show you everything working on Kusama and offer reasonable and trustworthy service before we move on to Polkadot.
Also, we chose this project because we believe we have a lot to add here, and since we are requesting a leap of faith, you can see we have not requested any money from kusama/polkadot to make the project happen. Different from other referendum proposals that we can see in Polkadot.
Voted Aye
Can you provide more information about who you are and your history in the Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem?
The account submitting this doesn't even have an identity, let alone a verified one.
You can consider @WinterStamp one of our team members for that purpose. We cannot verify the main account as it is a pure proxy. The pure proxy was created on Kusama, and for now, it is impossible to copy it to People Parachain so we can verify it.
The solution for this is already being worked on, as seen here:
https://forum.polkadot.network/t/parachain-technical-summit-next-steps/51/28
But while this is not done, we cannot verify the account.

Nice to have have new registrar.
Tested the call in rococo succesfully creating registrar on rococo-people.
we are working on registrar backend to bridge social media DMs through matrix for challenge verifications and more than happy to collaborate on this.
@tommi Hello, if you wish, please send us an e-mail at hello@polkaidentity.com and let's talk about it.
Hi, this is Dr Cao from AIWeb3 community. I am glad to hear more registrar service, but I have the following concerns:
- I would like to know more about you, why you think that you should be added?
- It seems your account is not verified, do you have twitter and website and other social media, I think it would be more reliable if your account is verified.
- There is not much discussion from the post that you sent, on kusama or polkadot side, I am curious if you have an explanation about that.
@DG8Q1VmFkmDwuKDN9ZqdB78W6BiXTX5Z33XzZNAykuB5nFh
Please refer to the answer at Bill's question. If you have any other questions let me know.

Thank you very much for your reply, AIWeb3 had changed the voting to AYE now.
We would like to thank everybody who voted on this proposal, and we are glad to say that our registrar system is almost done. We hope to have it running this week for everybody to evaluate.
We are proud to present the first version of PolkaIdentity, available at: https://polkaidentity.com

Root
Setting a realistic target for coretime sales
Background
This proposal aims to adjust the parameter that controls the ideal target for coretime sales to a value that better reflects the expected demand of Kusama cores. This change will help stop coretime prices from being driven to near-zero and instead drive prices to a more realistic value, benefiting the Kusama ecosystem.
The main utility of KSM is to pay for coretime (which gets burned), but current prices are virtually 0, making it hard for the system to benefit from its main product offering. Elastic scaling will help grow demand for coretime and thus KSM, and there might also be new sources of KSM demand like Kreivo's memberships, but we need to adjust the core business model.
Proposed Change
This proposal focuses solely on adjusting the ideal_bulk_proportion
parameter:
- Setting
ideal_bulk_proportion
: From100%
to40%
The proportion of cores available for sale which should be sold.
If more cores are sold than this, then further sales will no longer be considered in determining the sellout price. In other words, the sellout price will be the last price paid, without going over this limit.
Rationale
A previous proposal (Referendum 507) included both this parameter change and an inflation reduction. However, community feedback, particularly from validators, raised concerns about the inflation reduction component. Validators expressed that reducing inflation would make validator operations unprofitable, potentially harming network decentralization and security.
This modified proposal addresses those concerns by focusing only on the coretime sales parameter, which has received broader support. By setting a more realistic target for bulk coretime sales (40% instead of 100%), we can help discover coretime's true value while maintaining the current inflation rate that supports validator operations.
Note that this number is not set in stone; it's a starting point that can help us better discover coretime's true value. The parameter can be adjusted in the future based on market response and ecosystem needs.
Future Considerations
This proposal is part of a broader effort to optimize Kusama's economic parameters. A future proposal focused on inflation may be developed in collaboration with validators to ensure any changes to inflation include conditions for newly minted KSM that benefit both validators and the broader ecosystem.
As a Kusama community member, I believe this focused change represents a balanced approach that addresses immediate concerns while setting the stage for future improvements.
