Hi, I am currently part of the Moonriver/Moonbeam OpenGov Technical Committee and also co-founding member of the Paradoxx collators on Moonriver/Moonbeam. My background over the years has/is enterprise network security and past few years started to get more into learning about the crypto industry and what it can offer to the community. I like messing around with new tech and breaking stuff. I try to stay active in the Moonbeam discord server, mainly the “collators” channel and try to poke around on the forum portal and ask questions to benefit the community knowledge or my own curiosity.

[Proposal: M11] Proposal to Swap Lease Slots with Parachain ID 3342

Abstract - Moonbeam’s current lease period on the Polkadot network will expire in October, 2023. In June, 2023, The Moonbeam Foundation successfully secured a new parachain slot for Moonbeam on Polkadot covering lease periods 13 through 20. This proposal is a necessary step in order to extend Moonbeam’s Polkadot’s lease period through June, 2025 by executing a “swap” of lease periods. If the swap is not completed before October, 2023, Moonbeam will not occupy an active parachain slot and woul…

[Proposal: 12] Proposal to list GLMR on the HydraDX Omnipool

Proposal to list GLMR on the HydraDX Omnipool [Status: Idea] Requested Amount: 500,000 GLMR (~$110k at time of writing) Note: These funds will remain in control of Moonbeam governance. Abstract We propose to use GLMR from Moonbeam treasury and provide it cross-chain into the HydraDX Omnipool as an LP position controlled by the Moonbeam governance. The intent is to seed initial liquidity and start trading GLMR in the HydraDX Omnipool natively and efficiently within the Polkadot ecosystem. [i…

Vote: Yes

Deciding to vote yes on this proposal. HydraDX will be a great add, but more importantly the Moonbeam network retains controls of the funds at all times. Despite the treasury being tight on funds, this could bode well for both networks, driving user interaction.

[Proposal: 24] Destroying Multichain XC-20 mintable tokens

Dear Moonbeam community! Due to Multichain bridge no longer serving its function in transferring assets between EVM chains and Polkadot, we propose to burn Multichain’s XC-20 tokens and redeem the underlying Polkadot-native assets. The purpose is to make these assets available for use elsewhere for the benefit of the entire Polkadot ecosystem. XC-20 tokens ids: xcWBTC: 278750993613512357835566279094880339619 xcETH: 228256396637196286254896220398224702687 xcUSDC: 33711011600645453260732234079…

[Proposal MR38] Hotfix for Kusama Fails to Convert XCM from V3 -> V2

[Proposal: MR38] Hotfix for Kusama Fails to Convert XCM from V3 → V2 Abstract - There is an issue already reported on Kusama in which XCM fails with Unroutable for Parachains that Kusama thinks are in XCM Version 2, Moonriver included. [image] I’m proposing this so that the Moonriver OpenGov Tech Committee whitelists this proposal to notify Kusama that Moonriver is on Version 3. This patch would fix the Kusama → Moonriver problem, although the underlying problem would still exist on Kusama…

Its important to restore the correct functionality XCM between Kusama and Moonriver. Few users are already impacted.

[Proposal: MR37] Initiate removal of the offline stakefish nodes

Dear community, I was proposing this referendum to scheduleLeaveCandidates on behalf of stake.fish for their 4 Moonriver collator nodes. stake.fish decided to end Moonriver collation and shut down their infrastructure on 29th of September 2023. It was a rather ungrateful shutdown without declaring a leave-intention on chain. The process to shutdown a collator would usually be four steps: set a timeline and publicly communicate the scheduled exit with the delegators trigger parachainStaking…

Your vote: Yes
It appears after several attempts from the community and based on on-chain data. Stakefish has abandonded their 4 nodes in the Moonriver active set, thus they would be chilled and removed. Having non-functional nodes in the active set, is a threat to the network and a bad example. This gives an opportunity for other users to step up who will take the role more seriously.

Summary We propose to open a bi-directional channel between Moonbeam and the Polkadex parachain.

[Proposal: MR44] Enable the new feature to flag collators offline when not producing blocks

Over the past weeks we’ve seen a lot of volatility in the Moonriver collator set with multiple big entities leaving the field. And it’s not always been smoothly executed. We have seen multiple nodes from one operator being just abandonned and still included in the active set while being offline for over a month which is unacceptable for the chain performance. For that reason our latest and greatest Runtime upgrade included a new feature that was also mentioned in a forum discussion about the p…

Your vote: Yes

I am in favor of it. We need a way to clean up the active set for dead nodes. This is a great addition moving towards decentralization. More control to the community.
