Cardano Gaming Guild

This is one of the more sensible sentiments I have seen today. Really appreciate your thoughts today Viva! I do have an idea to put forward to possibly remedy the current issue. I also want to find the correct channels to go through here - any help to get this to the right feedback channels for Catalyst would be great... Also - I would appreciate the #Cardano Community making some noise about this if you agree!!! My idea for this is that we need to have a combined Multi-Tiered voting system tied into a 1 Wallet verification SSI (Self Sovereign Identity) that protects identity whilst preventing an Overwhelming vote. The whole idea of this method is to allow voting in the same manner we have now while stopping people from overwhelming the voting system with whale wallet voting - and yet still respect that those wallets DO deserve extra voting power! 1. 1 wallet to KYC to a decentralised DID (Digital Identity) - This does not need to tie to your identity directly on the network (you SHOULD remain anaonymous) - I am developing an SSI myself to this end. Because it is tied to a persons KYC it can prevent multiple wallets being registered to the voting. 2. Snapshot taken as usual - this would be used to decide what tier of voting allocation a wallet should be given based on $ADA held. The Cardano community can all help decide how tiers should work here - but I will provide an example to work from... e.g. A standard voter with 500+ $ADA that is eligible to vote could be given a voting power of 100 points. A holder of 10,000+ $ADA could be given perhaps 200 points. More tiers could be added to a MAXIMUM tier is reached at say 10+ Million $ADA who recieve perhaps a voting power of 1000 points. These are as examples only - you could lower or raise this to needs of the system. 3. Voting would be done as it is done now. You could vote up or down on a project, but you could also choose to split points across multiple projects or use them all on one. However, you would USE UP your points allocation as you vote - so you can vote to a MAXIMUM of 1000 votes (dependant on your tier) and then you are DONE. I feel that this method would decisively prevent the overwhelming majority votes that we have just seen in Catalyst Fund 10. Keeping the tier number small and managable means that enough people voting on a project would easily overwhelm any high tier voters if the general populace voters disagree enough to vote against/for in the opposite way to the high tier voter. NOTE:- We could also include at a later date a method that rewards regular users of the chain with higher tiers of voting than their normal $ADA tier to reward participation in the network - thus making a bit of personal and social value to the use of Cardano itself. Please provide ANY ideas you have that could improve on this - this could be a fairly immediate fix shorter term for sure though. Let's take our time - work through the possibilities and get this right. Because - if we do - this is one POWERFUL tool for the Cardano Ecosystem as a whole! I Really want to see discussion head towards the finding of remedies and future-proofing of the Catalyst system from here on in - rather than just beating a dead horse about the 'what went wrongs' over and over again - get creative - let's deal with this once and for all! It really is time to rally and deal with the issue at it's CORE! @Cardano_CF @cardano_whale @IOHK_Charles @InputOutputHK @CardanoFeed @CardanoThor @QuasarSure
