DRep Profile
LateGameCrypto
My goal as a dRep is to contribute a voice of reason that challenges the Cardano voter base. I intend to collaborate with the community to make informed decisions and encourage more thoughtfulness around any governance decision.\n\nWhen it comes to my policy on TREASURY management, I take a more liberal approach. I believe that we need to manage it as a business would, which means developing multiple streams of income to advance the treasury for greater long-term sustainability.\n\nMy policy on GOVERNANCE is a much more conservative approach. I believe Code is Law. I believe that 1 ADA = 1 Vote is the best model for governance over economic systems. I believe in simplicity, as the over-complication of essential functions only serves to exclude more people.\n\nMy policy on BLOCKCHAIN functions and parameters is evolving but there are a few things I stand firm on. I am anti-fee markets. I am in favor of protecting NFT royalties. I am pro-contingent staking (if the situation calls for it)

Motivations
I want to be a dRep because I care about the freedom and decentralization of the Cardano ecosystem. It continues to feel like Cardano is the last ecosystem that values the principles that this industry was supposed to stand for, as Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned it. I want to be a voice that contributes to driving this space to continue to be an independent economic system that offers people an open alternative to a government-controlled economy. This is the rhetoric that I have consistently pushed on my YouTube channel and it is the mission that I will continue to pursue as a dRep.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams
This proposal establishes a Governance Workstream Consortium which establishes decentralized execution framework, ROM Multisig Model, to support the delivery of constitutional dept workstreams in Cardano. Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
Parameter change proposal - Lower minPoolCost to 0
(at the time of writing the gov.tools site did not have a Parameter Change dropdown value on Propose a Governance Action page implemented yet, although I hear it is in the works) This proposal is to change the parameter "minimum fixed rewards cut for pools (minPoolCost)" value from it's current value of 170 Ada to 0 Ada. This is to allow stake pool operators to set their fee structure as they see fit - without always forcibly taking a chunk out of pool rewards, the protocol-level action which results in continually growing gap (as the per-block reward continues to reduce over time, by staking design) in maximum ROI that a given small pool can offer compared to a big pool with similar fee structure in place.
