Well, I personally agree with that, I have already mentioned it several times in the chats
As it will be controlled by governance, it doesn't change much whether they are minted or not, so it is simply more security for the investor, a question of optics as Crane mentions
This change would also allow us to be more vocal about the absence of inflation in the tokenomics without the predictable response of "yeh but locked supply". Notwithstanding that, anything we can do to move the needle towards trust and transparency can only benefit as we move into the new year.
You will have my vote.
AND MY AXE
I mentioned it few times in telegram too. Lets go for it, I will vote AYE for sure.
Fully in support of this as discussed with multiple community members in the past - as a part of this proposal, we would need to convert collator rewards to come directly from the Treasury instead of being minted as they are currently.
I have created an issue for this to be picked up: https://github.com/galacticcouncil/hydration-node/issues/959
I think it’s a great idea. It supports the narrative of non inflationary token by removing this unnecessary confusion around the tokens not yet minted
Will it affect the support index of the proposal and increase the difficulty of passing it?
Or solve it indirectly through automatic neutral voting
I dont agree unless there is a clear cooperation plan, such as with CEXs/DEXs (although many people dont like to hear these words), or with an investment institution with strong marketing capabilities. Under the current circumstances, if it is released bit by bit, at least there is a roadmap. Once all are minted, investors will think that the big whales may make irrational moves through governance, reducing investment confidence.

We have a strong product line, and with the planned features, we are extremely strong. But no one is perfect. I have to admit that optics is our weak point.
Thank you @Crane for your great contribution to our side, I will support you with 6x faith
