I was struggling with this vote quite a but have decided to vote Yes on Dingo and encourage everyone else to also do so. The reason why I struggled initially is because: 1. The Blink Labs team is extremely talented and I'd love to see them working on other things to be honest. I don't think their time is best spent on another Node. 2. The amount of money allocated to wages is quite high. It's more than I personally or anyone else at NMKR have ever earned, even though I live in one of the most expensive countries in the world. And while I do know that US software wages are on another level, it's still a bitter pill to swallow. Especially in times where ADA price is low. But after some thinking I came to the conclusion that: 1. We are in a decentralized ecosystem here. As CEO of a startup I'm used to telling people what to do but this is a different situation. If the Blink Labs team believes building a Go Node is the best way they can contribute to Cardano, then so be it. It's not my decision & I have to respect other peoples self-assessments. 2. The reality is the Blink Labs team could easily earn this money in other industries, they have the skill level, they have the location & they have the experience. If we want to retain the best talent we can't push this down too much. Building a Node is not the same as building a startup where you don't earn much for a while and then work towards growth & hopefully hit it big one day. Building this Node is a very specific contract for a piece of infrastructure, the contract needs to be competitive enough with the market, so they're not underpaid and search for better opportunities eventually. -- So TLDR; Vote YES on Dingo
