I stand by my words; when I call it like I see it, it’s with deliberate intent. You’ve also aired grievances regarding Ming’s departure, hinting at deeper discord. It all feels like typical DAO drama.
It strikes me as peculiar that, despite your proclaimed “living and breathing” the ecosystem, you missed the PNF’s explicit request for technical expertise in their Observer role call, a detail that predated the prop going up for vote.
I share @iannn’s sentiment that this seems like a power play. The suggestion to nominate @Jinx as a Foundation Director, made by @ArtSabintsev, borders on the absurd. While I hold no grudge against @Jinx, their deep ties to a significant node operator and past advisory role with PNI raise questions about their ability to remain impartial—a non-negotiable for a Foundation Director.
In stark contrast to PNI’s era—marred by hyperinflation, a non-existent wPOKT bridge, and misalignment within the DAO—not to mention ANKR’s questionable actions with the PNI Portal (only lord knows what effect that had on token price)—we’ve seen the PNF make leaps and bounds in just a year. The gravity of PNI’s legacy, including the DAO’s substantial POKT allocation to them, cannot be overlooked.
The lack of speed/bias-for-action by PNF mostly came during the PNI/PNF era and the SWOT analysis you speak of was probably done when the separation first happened. Remember, the restructured Foundation has been in full swing for merely a year, and I’m open to being corrected on this.
My original point stands—what we’re witnessing seems to be nothing more than political manoeuvring.
