Considering the only thing you need are 100 votes in favour, which is not that hard to get, the only true limitation on which votes are put up to Firefly, are which topics moderators approve. Even if 500 people vote against it and 100 in favour, it still gets put up to Firefly.
Not to mention the question if it doesn’t make more sense to just leave most of these decissions to the engineers working on it. It is a staging net after all, that eventually when you got an actually decentralized tangle you need ways to handle changing parameters I get, although then it would be up to node owners mainly, but well.
Which brings me to the question, what can you vote for? There is this link: Shimmer-Governance/governance-scope.md at main · iota-community/Shimmer-Governance · GitHub, but how should I read it? Can you vote on everything from TIP-32, or what I think, only the ones listed there? If it is just the ones listed there, then the things which are actually Shimmer network related and you can in the future vote on are:
- Shimmer units: Which are purely a UI thing afaik (and you really don’t want to screw around with this later on, would be confusing as hell).
- Genesis supply: Which you obviously cannot change after Genesis
- VByte Cost: Which you could vote on yes.
And sure I understand it can change in the future. But in the end it is up to IF engineers to decide what is even allowed to be voted on. It seems for now a kinda large framework considering you can only vote on one relevant parameter. Since it is a staging network, can’t IF engineers also just decide on this one?
