@bisq-network/contributors, please submit any compensation requests by EOD on Sunday March 31st.

This might be the last voting round using our Google Spreadsheet, so don't miss out this historic event 😉.

As usual, instructions can be found at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-request-compensation. Thanks.

To match the setup of the Bisq DAO on Testnet, we'll have an additional review day on April 1st and the voting takes place from 2nd to 4th of April.

Please also add your compensation request within the Bisq DAO Testnet in one of the next voting cycles for testing [1]. Thanks!

Hi @ripcurlx I understand that the addresses listed in the spreadsheet will be abandoned and that we need to submit a new BSQ address from Bisq 0.9.5 client that lists all our past compensations so that the current address balance will be transferred in the DAO genesis distribution. Is this correct?

I have some doubts because I see no similar requests in github/compensation/issues so far...

Also the instructions (https://docs.bisq.network/compensation.html) give two possible ways to make a compensation request:
-The usual (github)
-An e-mail to genesis@bitsquare.io.

For the spread sheet we use the old BSQ address. Before I will do the genesis I will request from all contributors the new BSQ address as well.

As pointed out by @oscarguindzberg on Slack, the total sum of BSQ added in the voting spreadsheet was incorrect (the last few lines were not included in the sum formular) since 2018.10. Each single compensation requests was not affected by this mistake, only the total reporting.

e.g. for February 2019:
Total compensation requested was 52,050 114,070 BSQ.
Total compensation received was 52,050 114,070 BSQ.

We have now completed 17 monthly voting rounds. In total, we have approved the creation of 869,424 1,020,705 new BSQ, or roughly 51,000 60,000 BSQ per month on average.

Here @oscarguindzberg compensation request didn't make it into the sum which causes this big difference. Sorry about this mistake in reporting! Luckily it will be our last voting round within the Google spreadsheet 😄

@bisq-network/contributors All compensation requests (we have a new record with 23 CRs 🚀 ) that will be added to the voting spreadsheet end of today are already assigned to the corresponding contributor and moved to discussion. Please review and comment if necessary on the compensation requests today. Thanks!

[ripcurlx]

@bisq-network/contributors Thanks everyone who participated in the discussion on the valuation of compensation requests 👍. If someone wants to change the amount or the description of her/his compensation request, feel free to do so until EOD. I'll delay the voting this time for one day, because of the special circumstances.

@ripcurlx Is there a link to what has been decided about the valuation of compensation requests? I would like to check if I have to adjust mine.

That's the issue I was referencing: #261

[ripcurlx]

@bisq-network/contributors Compensation requests have been staged in the BSQ stake and vote tracking spreadsheet, and the voting period is now open.

The specific worksheet for this month is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xlXDswj3251BPCOcII-UyWlX7o7jMkfYBE-IZ5te5Ck/edit#gid=459254761

Voting instructions are at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-vote.

Some of you will be voting for the first time and will need access. Just request it and I'll grant it.

Please don't forget that we are voting this time again based on the Natural delegation on DAO voting proposal. Only vote +1 on compensation requests you can evaluate and do know about, for all other compensation requests vote 0 to show your intention to delegate your vote.

Please complete your voting by EOD on Friday April 5th, as we delayed the voting period for one day.

Thanks all!
