Increasing community governance power

[helmass]

Thanks @anon10525910 for the thoughts and getting the ball rolling. I believe this is a very important topic and I don’t think we need to overcomplicate the approach here.

To me, this is our most useful weapon.

How do I delegate my votes?

1. Head to the spreadsheet or #delegates channel in Discord to check out who has put themselves up as a delegate.
2. Use the information available to decide who you would like to represent you when voting.
3. For voting history, copy their address and either look it up manually or paste into the search bar on Boardroom .
4. Visit the Index Coop snapshot page and input the address you want to delegate to at this link
5. Click Confirm (you have to sign a transaction, this will cost gas)

6. Once the transaction is confirmed you have successfully delegated your votes, congrats!
7. You can un-delegate at any time, this also takes place on-chain and costs gas. A button will appear on the page linked in step 4.

I believe a concerted community push over x period of time could really drive the nail in the coffin. Further, I think the community would be best served without exploring incentive, but rather through collective push around messaging.

Let me have a think (while I’m more fresh) and create an outline on how this can be achieved, required community effort and over what timeframe.

In the meantime, would love to hear @Pepperoni_Joe ’ s thoughts!
