Shouldn't these bounties be created after the W3F has decided the procedure for disbursing the funds? As of now, we don't even know that these funds will be disbursed to the Kusama treasury at all.
@SAXEMBERG/Governance Hi Sax. There may be some confusion. This has nothing to do with W3F's purported 10M DOT Deployment. We simply took a spend request that was in discussion and flipped it to an RFP using existing treasury funds (read top of ref). Compared to the proposed, this RFP has a refined scope, greater oversight & the potential to attract competing offers.
Aye.
Yet the only concern from my opinion is the budget looks too small to achieve a truly useful privacy tool, and the estimation of workload for each milestone just underestimated.
I will say give at least 2~3 times more to make it reasonable.
@GLV8...LLYg try 50x or 100x budget for this, and for this you will need a Star product manager that breathes crypto. An implementation like this accessing multiple chains at the same time an that will make it very tricky to maintain, so even implementing this for x amount will also have ongoing costs, that if the solution was a parachain tokenconomics can be worked out in the treasury for such solution.
