Dear community,
This referendum is two fold, it seeks to grant 0xTaylor a tip of 8 KSM but also tests OpenGov to see if it protects against spending more than the track allowance when using multiple transactions.
0xTaylor is a popular actor within the ecosystem known for his input with security exploit related matters. It is through his efforts that a blacklist was developed on Polkassembly, thus preventing users from applying usernames like Admin or Administrator which could otherwise be misleading. He also reported Hasura GQL endpoint exploits to various teams that utilize the service, an example of which can be found here. 0xTaylor is also known for his input within the ChaosDAO and WagMedia communities members of which have endorsed his receipt of a tip.
On the note of security, I took this as an opportunity to test the coding of OpenGov with regards to multiple spends within a single batched transaction. This proposal seeks to spend 16 KSM in two batches of 8 KSM. The first and 'guaranteed' execution being made to 0xTaylor, in the unlikely event that there is a bug then another 8 KSM would be awarded to an account for Public Kusama Staking Rewards Payout BOT.
If the second extrinsic executes then maximum spend per track would essentially be Max spend * Number of transactions that can be fit within a batch.
Regards,
0xTaylor spends a lot of his time and resources to better the whole ecosystem. Absolutely!
Taylor is a great watchdog in the ecosystem. This has my vote.
