JACK HAS NEVER TOLD THE BOARD WHAT TO DO AND I DO NOT THINK SEEDSIGNER IS A BITKEY COMPETITOR.

WE HAVE FUNDED MANY PROJECTS THAT COULD BE SEEN AS COMPETITORS TO BLOCK AND TWITTER.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR JACK'S DONATION BUT AGREE THE OPTICS ARE NOT GREAT WHICH IS WHY I HAVE BEEN LASER FOCUSED ON INCREASING OUR DONATION BASE.

THERE IS A TRADEOFF TO PUBLIC VOTING RECORDS AS WELL. THERE IS A REASON WHY BALLOT BOXES HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN SECRET. MAKING THEM PUBLIC IS NOT A DECISION THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

BUT AS I SAID ABOVE, I VOTED YES ON THAT SPECIFIC APP. FOR IT TO BE APPROVED 4 OF THE REMAINING 8 BOARD MEMBERS WOULD HAVE TO VOTE YES AS WELL. THIS IS A HIGH BAR BUT IMPORTANT TO REDUCE THE INFLUENCE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER.
