Thanks for the nominations and votes everyone. It was very humbling. Unfortunately I can’t in good conscience give anymore volunteer time to a team that continues to mislead and lie to people. I say to the team, not the community because the VDAO charter isn’t followed by the protocol that put the DAO together to structure the hip process and put rules in place so validators understand each hip that they vote on. The VDAO made the hip process 100% better. I tried to schedule an ama for hip-30v2 to try to at least follow the process but had no luck.

I’ve volunteered to help out with the staking initiative, I’ve served a term on the VDAO that never got paid and contributed to help keep it going until now, I served a term on the community DAO that never got paid. This is all on top of managing my validator, group with 17.5K members and working 40+ hours a week at the fiat mine.  
The recovery is important to me but all the work I’ve done for the VDAO would virtually be thrown out now because we’re going to lose so many validators.  
It’s one thing volunteering to help out, but to see all your hard work and time be thrown out just makes it that much worse.
