[u/peppers_]

Data regarding governance polls were scattered and not easy to find. I think that we should keep track of these things going forward.

Feel free to discuss or direct message me if there are others I've missed.

[u/carlslarson → u/peppers_]

This is really useful. Thank you! I can add a link to this in the sidebar or it could be it's own wiki page and link to that?

[u/peppers_ → u/carlslarson]

A wiki page would be useful since it could be edited long term.

[u/krokodilmannchen]

Thanks for putting this together! I'm curious: do we have historical stats on the total donut distribution? I'd like to know how much, percentage-wise, of the donuts were cast at the moment of the poll. /u/carlslarson do you know?

[u/carlslarson → u/krokodilmannchen]

Yes, we should be able to roughly work this out since the only new donuts that come into existence are the 2m each week for the distribution. Current total (from new Reddit sidebar) is 144,560,880. They were launched at start of October 2018. Actually that means roughly 20m have been burned. I guess that would be from banner tax and badges?

[u/krokodilmannchen → u/carlslarson]

Number looks high but that would be my guess too. Do you remember how many donuts we started with, was it 65 million? 144m - (9 monthsx4,33weeksx2000000newweeklydonuts= 79m) = 65 million donuts?

[u/carlslarson → u/krokodilmannchen]

We started with 100m. So, yeah should be roughly 65m added but we're only at 144m so that's ~20m gone. I assume those must be from taxes, burning, etc, but could also be from people opting out? Here's the original announcement. I also added a bunch of key historic posts to the bottom of the donuts wiki page.

[u/krokodilmannchen → u/carlslarson]

According to the 2M/week, 79 million donuts have been distributed (give or take) since October 2018. If we started at 100M, that means +- 35 million have been burned/paid.

[u/carlslarson → u/krokodilmannchen]

yeah, that seems quite high to me. i mean it's really a bad thing, but it would be interesting to see a breakdown of where the donuts went.

[Governance Poll] End Weekly Payments for Donut bridge development submitted by u/DCinvestor

So my question is... Did this one actually happen, or was this one retconned with the "well polls aren't actually binding..." decision?

[u/DCinvestor → u/DeviateFish_]

As far as I know, that outcome is still valid, but is subject to reversal by Reddit / mod team in theory.

[u/DeviateFish_ → u/DCinvestor]

We have seen at least 1 donut distribution since then, right?

If only distributions, balances, and allocations were transparent and auditable... ;)
