> While PoktFund did give much to the community by developing PoktFund and help other support it (which should be reimbursed), PoktFund did use the knowledge gained from that work to create your own version of geo-mesh client in the summer which never was opened sourced. PoktFund used that work on v0 to beat out many providers and become is the top node provider today.

Hopefully PNF will help streamline all of this, but the first step is the dev needs to want to work for the DAO in a transparent manner.

You guys can’t flip flop on these things.

Doesn’t matter if they have companies with a substantial amount of $Pokt staked.

We want the best engineers working on the hardest problems.

Not sure then how we try to measure their lost opportunity if they were to submit a proposal.

You also can’t time this. Crypto moves fast. We had our own version of Geo-Mesh that maybe we wouldl have open sourced eventually. PoktScan beat everyone to it.

Pay the builders!!! All of them!!! LFG!!!
