Two items on the agenda for this @lbi-gov post. The first has to do with setting a hard cap for the LBI token. @silverstackeruk has noted that the volume of people converting Leo tokens to LBI tokens has significantly decreased. It appears the majority of LBI token movement is happening through direct buys on the secondary market like hive-engine and Leodex. In light of this, The LBI team is proposing a hard cap of 275,000 tokens.
The total number of LBI tokens currently minted is 250,000. To date, 220,005 LBI have been issued directly from @lbi-token. On hard capping, 20% of the supply will be reserved for content creators based on this post. This would give a LBI token hard cap of ~275,005 (depending on buys between now and implementation). @silverstakeruk is considering burning five LBI tokens to establish a hard cap at 275,000.
Voting will open once this post is published. As this is not a proposal vote, the window will stay open for one week versus two. Voting will close April 4th and then votes will be counted.
YES
If you agree to have the LBI token hard capped at 275,000 with the five additional tokens being burned please type YES in a comment on this post.
NO
If you would like to keep LBI at the current spot with no cap type NO in a comment on this post.
Please be sure to use the account that you are holding your LBI in so that we can accurately tally the votes. It would be very helpful to us if you included the number of LBI you hold in your comment so we can accurately calculate your upvote value based on the table below:
1/ 10-99 LBIs will earn a vote equal to 1
2/ 100-499 LBIs will earn a vote equal to 2
3/ 500-2,499 LBIs will earn a vote equal to 3
4/ 2,500-9,999 LBIs will earn a vote equal to 4
The second item on the agenda is the fact that the @lbi-gov team is now actively accepting proposals for the first vote that will be taken at the end of May. @sliverstackeruk laid out the guidelines very clearly in this post.
Please note the six sections that the LBI Governance team will expect each post to have. Each of these sections should be clearly identifiable using bold or header formatting. Please be as clear and specific as possible in your post. This is you pitching your proposal. Additionally, please ensure that you use the tags #may21lbigovproposal and #lbigov
Proposals will be accepted until May 7th. Through the week of May 10th to the 14th all proposals collected will be put to a popular vote. The top five proposals will be formally presented on May 17th and for the next two weeks voting will be open. The top two voted proposals from that two week window will be passed.
As you can see, the window for proposals is fairly long. After the May vote, it will be a full six months as was originally established. Please keep this in mind if your proposal concerns something that is time sensitive.
To recap:
Proposals are Due May 7th
Proposals must include all six sections as established in this post
Proposals must use the tags: #may21lbigovproposal and #lbigov
English is preferred for proposals but not mandatory. If posting in another language, please use a translator.

NO 10,001 LBI hodl
I'd like to see at least a 300k hardcap
SPI was created with a ONE MILLION Hardcap, which was not going to happen,
so we voted to cap it a lot lower. LBI is brand new and we could give it a
little more time. If I knew about the next possible spinoff, CBI
I might be content with what we got now LOL
But I like 300k better than 275k Because at some point,
I'm going to come back to LBI and dump moar into it...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree, 275K is a strange number.
But there are always miners, which people seem to go mad for. Or maybe they just want the new thing, whatever it is 😁.
I had thought of miners for LBI but the scammer miner killed that dream.
Miners, for LBI...
seems to me that would violate a hard cap?

What's KANDA?
TeloKanda is a hive engine token with the express purpose of onboarding Africans to HIVE. We have a large and thriving discord, the token has survived it's P&D phase, and is moving back closer to a solid price standing. The founder citimillz [Favvy] 🟣 #0505 @citimillz is building a strong setting and I had to engineer some discord VooDoo into the settings because we had a slew of BOTS that had things in a major conflict, and it was over run with BOTS. Now we have manual authorization of all new accounts, so I will take care of you Auntie if you just ping me, and I am around. Otherwise the mods are pretty quick. LOL
I am sending an invite, Kanda is worth a look, it also has CHL tokens and a strong TWITTER following as well. They award a lot of valuable tokens, TELOS and CHL plus Kanda!

I think we should revisit at the one year mark for setting a hard cap on the tokens. I think now is to soon.
No, it's too soon. Let it run for at least a year. Right now my earned LEO goes into the new LeoFinance projects. There's a whole new bLeo pool to fill. Once that is done more LBI is a perfect destination for more of my LEO.
I really don't understand the haste in capping. Let it grow slowly and give the fund time to develop.
Posted using Dapplr
No. I think we can get higher than just 275k LBI if we have some patience. Give people some time to buy more, especially the new ones that will now be triggered by the nice hike in Hive (and Leo) price of late.

I disagree, but votes for you anyway 🤣
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
NO, why hurry for a cap when we are so keen to delay dividends ?
We might link both as well, cap when we start paying dividends.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you have a great point here. Dividends should be paid out before we consider hard capping LBI. So investors can see how the ROI looks like.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I still think there's a middle ground here. The problem with these proposals is that there really needs to be a few days of discussion and THEN a vote. Let people voice their opinions and rationale BEFORE asking for a vote. That way you can make an informed decision by seeing all arguments rather than voting on your own drawn conclusions. I voted YES and I'm still leaning that way but I can certainly see extremely valid arguments for NO.
Here is why I'm still leaning YES. My LEO and everyone in before me (and after but before Cub) who sent in LEO provided LBI with the Cub they received. If I let the fund double in size, that doesn't double the Cub. It cuts my return on that Cub by 50%. I get that new holders will have to add more LEO than what the fund is "worth" per LEO so the dilution shouldn't really be felt. For example, if a 10% stake is worth $10,000 of a $100,000 total, then if someone comes in and doubles the fund to $200,000 then my now 5% stake of $200,000 will still be worth the same $10,000. But, like I said, where does that factor in the Cub I provided? Someone buying today gets the benefit of that Cub and lessens my benefit through dilution. At least that's what it seems like to me. Especially if Cub moons. They buy in today for 1.1 and in a month Cub goes to $30. My dividend is diluted where theirs is enhanced.
Anyway, like I said, if we had a discussion period and THEN a vote, we could talk about altering this proposal before voting on it.
I would like to see the number capped now at the "soft" number of 275,000. If people really want in, pay the market price. However, I would like to leave maybe as much as another 225,000 tokens left in reserve for future use cases. If we decided we wanted to open it up to new people, we could take a vote and do that. We could also decide to allow current users who want to increase their stake the ability to have first right of refusal on buying those new tokens.
If I have to vote on this current proposal, I will stick with my YES vote for the reasons mentioned above.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sounds like you have the workings of a new proposal that you should write up and submit for the next vote. I will be keeping an eye out for it! Make sure you follow the guidelines laid out above and in the post from @silverstackeruk.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with you about an advance post where discussion could take place before the vote; I'd also like to see that ballots are set with a minimum 66% majority vote in support of the proposal.
I guess the benefit of pooling is that we are all getting wealthier through the compounding effects of every contribution. So although an account might miss out on "their" bit of cub, they are benefiting overall from the total contributions. There are people working on this voluntarily, for example, we all benefit from their contribution.
Except that the CUB drop was priced in and all new LBI buyers are paying for your (actually the Fund's) CUB when they buy LBI. Because CUB already added to the LBI value. SSUK is doing this all above board, Legally, morally, properly and actually the best way AND sticking to the whitepaper 100%.
Not saying you don't have some good ideas but it does sound like a whole 'nother fund if the changes were made that you are spitballing. I use that term to avoid confusion with a "proposal" because we have an exact mechanism in place for a "proposal".

no not yet 71 I think so far
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No. I know that my investment will be worth more in the short term but 275k LEO max? Isn’t the team wanting more LEO. I’m worried this will stagnate the project. At least a buyback plan will ensure I can sell my tokens if I want, if the buyback plan isn’t also voted out!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
NO
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am going to vote NO on this one. 2260 LBI. I have to believe that part of the decrease has to do with the "sudden" introduction of CUB finance. I think once the hype from that dies down people may decide to start moving their LEO back into LBI. I think not imposing a hard cap now and then revisiting it in three to six months would be the best course of action.

It is a project that is just beginning because it sets limits. Right now, the bullish season has shaken things up and investments are in a daily reshuffle. When the spring is over, people will want to invest in a project that gives them a chance to get rich slowly and the issuance of tokens will probably grow again.
We must give the opportunity to people who are not aware of our existence to join the project, also new users who come because of the bullish season and because of all the work that is done from LEOFINANCE.
Closing the topic is to take away the possibility to continue to grow from those of us who own a small amount of tokens. And the prices would benefit the few who have a considerable amount of LBI-TOKEN. For those of us with 100, 200 or 300 tokens, prices would have to reach thousands of dollars to make a difference to our finances.
Give the opportunity to grow to those who do not have large capitals to invest, to those who are adding little by little in the hope of one day having financial freedom.

I vote YES to cap as this will allow for there to be some price appreciation created in the LBI tokens as well as the value they represent. However, I would like to see the number "soft-capped" at 275,000 with a hard cap at 300,000-350,000. This would leave some room to potentially open it up again down the road if we decide it would be beneficial to "raise" more capital for other projects by letting new people in or existing holders to raise their stake. That would still require a vote from the token holders but would keep the flexibility there if deemed necessary. Just my thoughts. Maybe if some more people read this and like it we can amend the proposal. Just seems prudent to me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe of those numbers there are still about 30,000 tokens held for conversions. Those are included in the 275,000 number.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No, 20% of the total is for the "content creation team". 20% of 275,000 = 55,000 plus the 220,000 already minted gives you the 275,000 minus the 5 he is going to burn.

This I agree with. I didn't see any room for 30k tokens but I miss stuff all the time... 🤣

YES. I goal is 100 LBI and I am close enough that I can get the rest before it is hard capped.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
YES (232 tokens = 2 votes) - maybe think about 300k for the cap - gives an extra 25k for a little wiggle room ???

I would set hardcap at 300k to leave some space for new investors, but I don't see them coming - let's not kid ourselves, it's not likely we'll mint another 20k
YES, for a hardcap ... the market on Hive-Engine will still exist so everyone who wants LBI can buy them there. But hardcapping the token will sure help with appreciating the value from LBI.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
YES , let the price increase :) If people are interested to buy , they can buy from the market is my opinion .

Yes, 2186 at the moment, which might change till the closure of the vote.
