Hey! No worries at all — totally understand, and funnily enough I’m also on a family vacation right now. Taking time with loved ones really matters. Super happy to hear you’re open to co-authoring the proposal. Once I’m back and back in work mode, I’ll definitely reach out so we can sync up and take the next steps together. Enjoy the rest of your trip! ---

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response — I’m fully aligned with your reasoning. I also believe that buyback without burn creates long-term misalignment, and your breakdown makes the case really well. Your voice would be incredibly valuable in co-authoring a formal proposal or Snapshot structure. ---

Thank you for sharing this — this is an incredibly well-thought-out and strategic proposal. I really resonate with your framing of buybacks as a cyclical tool, not just a one-off mechanism. The dynamic allocation based on treasury thresholds is a smart way to balance sustainability with value return to holders. Your examples from AAVE, dYdX, and Jupiter also help position this as a proven model in DeFi, not just theory. Would you be open to aligning or merging efforts? I think our proposals are strongly complementary, and combining forces could lead to a more unified and impactful outcome for the DAO. Let’s turn this into something actionable together. ---

I am ready to take part in this, of course. ---

As a “big” retail LDO holder I can say that you have to do something at this point, your token is totally useless atm, honestly I’m disappointed and waiting for the next pump to sell this scam, there is no reason to hold it anymore honestly. LDO staking is something that can bring interest back but looks like no body want to support this idea, once again totally disappointed. ---

I think the main concern here is how it would be implemented, but once that is figured out, rather than flipping the switch at 100%, why not start with 1-10% of revenue? We can watch how the community reacts, tweak as needed, and build confidence in the model before scaling up. Let the voters decide.
