TODO - Next Meeting

  • To discuss
    • Farmerbot-farmer-minting issue
      • Scott will present the issue and we can discuss with Thabet, Jan and Kristof on the call
      • Note: The situation is that farmers didn't get minted rewards but it isn't an issue on their side. We should make sure to find the proper way forward, but also to act properly for the past.
      • for now the position was:
        • make sure it doesn't happen again
          • check with the team who implemented the changes
            • ZOS team
        • can't compensate from treasury
        • can't remint
          • not fair for non-fbot-farmer compared to fbot-farmer
      • Ideally, we can come to a consensus on the next meeting
    • Mycelium updates in the manual, to be confirmed with Thabet
      • is it OK to wait until updates arew done for info_grid mycelium updates? or we push the current draft PR now
    • Manual transfer
    • check the ops process for gitea git.ourworld.tf
      • make sure the process is effective and can be done by different person to avoid bottleneck/SPOF
        • e.g.
          • DNS websites projectinternetcapacity need to be removed as the project moved to threefold.io
            • as of now we ask Kristof but it's a lot for one person
    • Farmers deploying on their own nodes
      • for now they can get up to 90% discount
        • 50% utilization rewards
        • 50% dedicated node
        • 60% staking discount
          • 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 0.1
      • If TFT price goes up, farmers can rent their full node and still farm TFT
        • not sustainable
          • starting from 2 cents tft
            • farmers can rent the whole node and still farm TFT on top of this
      • Discussion
        • how can we make sure this isn't happening for ZOS v4
        • we'd need a GEP to change the discount and rewards
    • GEP on GEP method
      • we have a consensus on the GEP
      • when do we pass it?
      • Comms circle will create a post announcing the GEP
        • then we take questions, etc.
        • once it's clear, we submit the GEP, with 15 days to vote
