Governance Meeting Notes Mega-Thread

Abstract (2021-09-01):

  • The first Validator Survey will most likely be sent out early next week, if there are any questions for validators or Community Curated Bounty List (CCBL) project ideas you would like to add please do so before the end of the week!
  • SNIP20s do not have timestamps in the tx history, therefore it is very hard to properly do your taxes if you do not have all your viewing keys you have used in the past. This data could be approximated, but it’s not a straightforward tool to build and there are edge cases (mint and burn; might be solved by looking at gas usage) which complicate the matter. A migration to SNIP22 would solve this going forward, but a tool would still need to be built for past transactions. Everyone agreed a migration should happen, but there is no consensus on the timing and process of such a migration. Stop gap measures (for example a tooltip to remind people to store their Viewing Keys) could be implemented to buy us some time until more permanent solutions can be developed. See the full notes and forum thread for more details on this discussion.
