@GrahamsNumberPlus1 You might want to chime in on this other thread about whether CF should be delegating their Ada at all for their stated reasons of supporting “the architects of the future”.
My view is that the staking mechanism was not designed to be a method for paying architects to build tools, etc. I think CF should set up a separate fund and pay architects rewards from this fund on a needs basis, rather than perverting the staking mechanism and overriding community consensus about block production.
