Reserve allocation discussion

8

I’m so digging this idea. With PTIP-5 out there, if that’s enacted and passed would this theoretically be the next item in that vein of progress? I personally lean towards either of the options below, but with the caveat that the disbursement happens on some longer period 30 days, 90 days, etc.

  1. rewarding those in the POOL pool by treating that as the fair pool. Disbursements are pro-rated to the length of time spent in the POOL pool for the period. So if someone joins the POOL pool with only 10 days left in a 30 day period, when the tokens are disbursed they receive a pro-rated amount representative of 10 days in the POOL pool.
  2. borrowing the idea of a jackpot that’s award on 1 wallet = 1 ticket basis, IE the DAI pool has 4,555 wallets in it currently, so everyone has a 1 in 4,555 chance to win the jackpot.

I work better with rough examples, in USD cause denomination isn’t the issue.

  • Some pool generates $1,000 in interest

  • Reserve is set to 50%, PTIP-5

  • Thus $500 goes to reserve

    • 50% ($250) rolls back into the pool growing the pool
    • 25% ($125) goes to gitcoin
    • 25% ($125) goes to the “fair” pool, POOL pool or jackpot.

  • Rinse and repeat

  • Assuming POOL pool disbursement from above, 30 day period, 20 persons in the POOL pool

    • A) 10 in for 30 days, B) 7 in for 15 days, C) 3 in for 10 days
      Math for distributions:
      Fractional Amount: 125 / ( 10 * 30 + 7 * 15 + 3 * 10) = .2873...
      Amount to Group A) 30 * .2873... = 8.619...
      Amount to Group B) 15 * .2873... = 4.309...
      Amount to Group C) 10 * .2873... = 2.873...
