Hello Kusama community,
This proposal is for a retroactive grant of my two open source, free tools. One for selecting the best validators and another for gathering staking income in a spreadsheet. You can try the validator selector here and the staking income spreadsheet generator here.
I originally set out to create these tools because I was struggling with staking. Selecting the best validators and tracking your staking income were unsolved issues at the time and they are still causing confusion for many. Therefore, I decided to solve my own problems and the problems of others by creating simple, easy to use tools that would get the job done.
You can read the full proposal here.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal!
