Consensus rewards whitepaper concern

Just to chime in, I was hoping for some of these features years ago – mainly the ability for regular, non-technical Algo holders to participate in consensus. Somewhat old thread below:

Following up on this, I think a lot of Algo holders would be happy to contribute some or all of their balance to …

Future Governance Proposal to shift some Governance rewards to Dev Tooling grants

I really like this idea. And a lot more than the recent defi-centric proposals. This adds real value to the ecosystem.

Idea for decentralization -- subscribe to participation nodes through wallet

As an addendum, I came across this really cool project on github. It attempts to quantify Algorand’s degree of decentralization with these parameters:

"We will say that PPoS is “completely decentralized” if and only if:

Thank you. Yes, maybe the incentive would change things. I just think it would be beneficial if there were more nodes to choose from (if retail users got that choice). I was thinking the incentive could be very small and that we could limit the maximum size of the nodes through some governance proc…

Hi, Just want to throw this idea out here, in case it has not been broached before… As I understand it, individual Algos held in wallets that are committed to or associated with (not sure of the correct terminology) any participation node are eligible to randomly participate in consensus for each …

Technical challenge to incentivize Relay Node running after Relay Node program ends

I’m coming in at the end of this convo (very interesting). I’m not a developer or computer science expert, but as someone who wants to see this project flourish, I have to say that the involvement of universities in the relay node architecture was one of the things that most attracted me to Algoran…

Early Backers vesting question

Very cool. Thank you, Patrick. Just estimating, but it looks like there may be like 1.2 billion Algo left to distribute if the upper chart is correct? Seems like most of the inflationary pain is (close to) over. I wonder if the Foundation is considering amending the schedule since so much was rele…

Many thanks, Fabrice! I actually came across this report after posting here (apologies for not finding it earlier). As I understand the report, over half of the “relay node” vesting has occurred now, thanks to accelerated vesting, and the schedule now ends sometime in 2023. Is that your understanding?

Does anyone know how many Algos have been vested so far from the accelerated vesting program? How many remain?
